VW begins Atlas series production in Chattanooga

Volkswagen has kicked off series production for its new Atlas crossover in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

 

Unveiled in October on the Santa Monica Pier, the Atlas marks VW's inaugural entry to the important large-crossover segment. The seven-seat model is based on the group's MQB modular architecture, shared with a wide range of vehicle size classes down to the VW Golf. Buyers will be able to choose from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 238 horsepower, or a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 ponies on tap. Only the V6 will be available with all-wheel drive, while all configurations utilize the same eight-speed automatic transmission.
