Volkswagen Atlas Earns Top Family Car for 2020

The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas earns the coveted Cars.com Family Car of the Year award, it’s third overall award from the esteemed website that is a great resource for all cars. The Atlas took on several other similarly sized SUVs and Crossovers for the award in that category, including the Ford Expedition and Hyundai Santa Fe. The 2020 Atlas, one of Volkswagen’s more recently introduced vehicles, took home the top prize for a few different reasons tied into its maneuverability, safety systems, and interior space. For Volkswagen, the Atlas has proven its ability to handle several different facets of driving and has surpassed its expected functionality of a highly capable and daring midsize SUV. Volkswagen of Inver Grove happily carries the most recent of the Cars.com favorite, with all the features and specifications that make it an amazing family vehicle.

It would seem as though the Atlas turned major heads at Cars.com this year by way of its outstanding functionality in nearly all departments. The roomy cabin proved to have great head room for full-size adults or teens even in the third row, and beyond that space enough to maneuver while installing car seats for infants and small children. In addition to a spacious cabin, the Atlas also has substantial room for cargo, so families don’t have to make decisions based off of stuff or passengers. Cars.com also took into account the number of assistive features available, including braking assist, cross traffic alerts, turn signal mirrors, and more. Finally, a standout feature from the Atlas for Cars.com was the vehicle’s overall drivability which, in spite of its large size, was still easily maneuverable in and out of tight spaces.

The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas comes available in seven different trims with a highly affordable price point considering its size, passenger accommodation, and the high level of technology available. The Atlas functions off of a 3.6 liter VR6 engine, which pairs with its front wheel or Volkswagen zone for motion all-wheel drive. The 2020 model also added the latest generation of Volkswagen’s car-net services which included Wi-Fi hotspot capability standard on every available Atlas model. The interior of the Volkswagen Atlas is a new adventure in luxury, as it provides options for comfortable leather seating, natural wood inlays, and its infamous spacious interior. The vehicle houses two display screens, one is an all-digital driver informational display located behind the steering wheel all, and the other is a center touch screen with all your favorite apps and easy access to your smartphone.
