Sherwood Park Volkswagen presents the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas, designed for Alberta families who need proven performance and practical space. This seven-seat SUV produces 269 horsepower from its 2.0 TSI turbocharged engine while achieving 11.0 L/100 km combined fuel economy. Standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive provides year-round traction, while 2,735 litres of cargo space and 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) towing capacity handle family adventures and work requirements. The Atlas earned a Government 5-Star Overall Safety Rating and features comprehensive IQ.DRIVE assistance technology, delivering the dependability that Sherwood Park families expect for daily commutes and weekend escapes throughout Alberta.
The Atlas exterior focuses on function alongside form. LED headlights feature Adaptive Front-light System technology that automatically adjusts beam patterns for highway driving and suburban streets around Sherwood Park. The illuminated front grille provides a distinctive appearance while silver roof rails offer mounting points for bikes, kayaks, and cargo carriers.
Wheel selections include 20-inch Atlanta machined alloy wheels on Highline trim and 21-inch Din machined alloy wheels on Execline models. Both configurations handle Alberta roads from Edmonton highways to countryside access routes. The panoramic power sunroof spans the cabin width, delivering natural light to all passenger rows. Dark tinted rear glass offers privacy protection while LED taillights maintain visibility during Alberta's variable weather conditions.
The Atlas cabin seats seven passengers across three rows. Second-row seats feature 60/40 split-folding design with "Easy Access" mechanisms for streamlined third-row access. Heated front and outer rear seats provide warmth during cold Alberta mornings, while ventilated front seats offer cooling during warm summer months.
Highline trim features leather seating surfaces, 10-way power driver seat with memory capability, and 8-way power passenger seat adjustment. Execline trim upgrades to premium leather with massage functionality for enhanced comfort during longer trips. Interior ambient lighting offers 30 colour selections for personalized cabin atmosphere. Aluminum door scuff plates protect entry areas while brushed stainless steel pedals add refined details. The cargo area includes a 115V power outlet for charging electronics or powering small appliances.
The 2.0 TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque for highway merging and hill climbing. Combined fuel economy reaches 11.0 L/100 km, balancing performance with efficiency for daily driving and road trips. The 8-speed automatic transmission includes Tiptronic manual mode for direct gear control when needed.
4MOTION all-wheel drive functions automatically, transferring power between front and rear axles based on road conditions. This system maintains grip on icy Sherwood Park streets and provides stability during Alberta winters. Driving Profile Selection adjusts vehicle characteristics for different driving situations, while ECO mode maximizes fuel efficiency. The start/stop system reduces fuel consumption by shutting off the engine during stops and restarting seamlessly when ready to proceed.
The technology suite centres on a 12.0-inch touchscreen with "Discover Pro" navigation system for directions throughout Alberta. Wireless App-Connect supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration without cables. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro displays driver information on a 10.25-inch configurable screen.
Audio entertainment comes through the Harman Kardon Premium Audio System with 10 speakers plus subwoofer for clear sound quality. Wireless charging maintains device power without cord connections. Voice control operates key functions hands-free, while SiriusXM satellite radio provides commercial-free entertainment. The myVW mobile app connects to myVW+ services for Remote Start access, vehicle health monitoring, and service notifications. USB Type-C ports with fast-charging capability are distributed throughout the cabin.
The Atlas lineup offers two trim configurations, both equipped with 4MOTION all-wheel drive and comprehensive safety systems as standard equipment.
