The all-new 2027 Volkswagen Atlas ranks among the most eagerly awaited vehicle debuts of the year. This three-row family SUV arrives with enhanced performance, a sophisticated redesigned cabin, and an eye-catching exterior. While Volkswagen provides several Atlas trims, many shoppers find themselves comparing the SE and SE with Technology models. Here is a closer look at how these two popular trims measure up.
Performance
Both trim levels are equipped with the same revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Generating an impressive 282 horsepower, it stands as the most potent Atlas to date. An eight-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth, responsive gear changes on every drive. Front-wheel drive is standard, with Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive available as an option.
Unlike the standard SE model, the SE with Technology trim includes a factory-installed trailer hitch right from the factory. This addition gives you the capability to tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Appearance
The SUV’s bold exterior redesign is sure to turn heads wherever you travel. The Atlas SE features a distinctive front end highlighted by double-stacked LED headlights. Sleek 18-inch machined alloy wheels enhance the overall stance of the Atlas SE. Drivers can also choose from sought-after exterior shades such as Deep Black Pearl and Opal White Pearl.
For a sportier road presence, the SE with Technology steps up to larger 20-inch alloy wheels. Dual front LED light bars along with an illuminated VW emblem provide an extra touch of distinction.
Features
The value-packed Atlas SE comes exceptionally well appointed. The cabin features cutting-edge technology, highlighted by a 12.9-inch central touchscreen display and a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro driver display. Everyday comfort is elevated by premium amenities like ergonomic heated and ventilated front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control. Furthermore, standard VW IQ.DRIVE driver-assistance features provide added peace of mind on the highway. Other notable inclusions are leatherette seating, a nine-speaker audio system, a heated steering wheel, and a power liftgate.
Upgrading to the SE with Technology gives you a massive 15.0-inch touchscreen. Extended 10-color ambient interior lighting helps set a soothing cabin atmosphere, while a second-row 115-volt power outlet lets passengers run everyday household electronic devices. A hands-free "Easy Open & Close" rear liftgate and key fob remote engine start are also included.
