If you've been looking for an SUV that can fit your whole family but are worried about what it's going to cost you at the gas pump, take a look at the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas MPG ratings. The 2023 version of this three-row SUV seats up to seven individuals, has 20.6 cubic feet of cargo area when all the seats are in use, and offers an EPA-estimated 21/25 MPG (city/highway)1 when you choose the standard 235-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. This is impressive, considering its size. To learn more about Volkswagen Atlas gas mileage, read on.
When you choose the standard engine and factor in this SUV's 18.6-gallon capacity fuel tank, it means you could theoretically drive for 465 miles without having to stop for gas. If you start in Delray Beach, FL, you could possibly visit New Orleans on two tanks of gas – not to mention all the road trips you can take to closer destinations. This can be a great opportunity for family bonding.
Considering this vehicle's other benefits, such as Climatronic three-zone automatic climate control, available panoramic sunroof, available Fender premium sound system, and VW Car-Net Hotspot capabilities, you'll be able to get out to explore the world while enjoying similar comforts as those found in your living room.
You can also opt for the vehicle's available 276-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine that gets only slightly lower MPG ratings. Specifically, the V-6-powered 2023 Volkswagen Atlas gas mileage is an EPA-estimated 18/24 MPG (city/highway)1 when paired with front-wheel drive. 4MOTION all-wheel drive is also available if you want additional traction on slick road surfaces or greater confidence when going off-road.
If you combine the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with 4MOTION, you can expect an EPA-estimated 20/24 MPG (city/highway).1 With the V-6 and 4MOTION combined for ultimate power, the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas MPG will be an EPA-estimated 18/23 MPG (city/highway).1

Optimizing your 2023 Volkswagen Atlas MPG depends on several factors. You should always get maintenance before heading out on a long trip. An oil change can boost performance and prevent the engine from overheating. Meanwhile, a brake and tire check will make sure you maintain the control you need on the road and drive more smoothly, which can boost fuel economy.
To further improve your MPG performance, avoid stop-and-go traffic and sudden braking when you can, and don't bring more items than you need, as they can weigh the vehicle down. That being said, this SUV's towing capacity of 2,000 to 5,000 pounds is plenty to tow a wide range of stuff when adventure calls.2

A VW Atlas gets good gas mileage considering its large size. Three rows of seats and a huge cargo area make this vehicle really feel like a living room on wheels, and if you get the standard 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine, you'll also get an EPA-estimated 21/25 MPG (city/highway).1
No, it doesn't. In addition to having impressive fuel economy for its size, this vehicle runs on regular unleaded gasoline, allowing you to save money at the pump in that way, too. However, if you want to get the most torque out of the standard engine option (up to 258 pound-feet), premium gas can help you get there.
With the standard engine providing up to an EPA-estimated 25 MPG (highway)1 and its 18.6-gallon fuel tank, you can travel over 400 miles using a single tank of gas. Just imagine all the road trips you can take with your family over the years. After all, this vehicle can go for up to 200,000 miles when driven under normal circumstances and properly maintained.
