![]() The fuel consumption is somewhat dismal not even matching the EPA estimated 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined during my test drive. The narrow-angle V6 does all it can to muster out power through the direct-feeling 8-speed automatic transmission, but things start to get messy when near half throttle or more is applied. The power is there, but getting it to the ground is a different story. In all, the hefty VW Atlas tends to feel uneasy leaving you guessing when you pull out in traffic. Unfortunately, the handful isn’t the type that enthusiast crave, its more along the lines of being annoying and unsettling where the FWD Atlas doesn’t feel planted to the ground. The VW Atlas in its standard front-wheel-drive form is somewhat of a handful when equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 engine that’s good for 276 horsepower and 266 ft-lbs of torque over the turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder offering.

At such a price, it well undercuts its loaded-up sibling, which had an as-tested price of $49,415. My current test vehicle, the Atlas V6 SE with a Technology Package, test out at a price of just $38,840, including a $995 destination charge. Having had a stab at reviewing the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas last year in its top trim level, it was refreshing to get the 2019 model in the middle-of-the-row SE V6 Technology trim that has a much lower price point than the Atlas V6 SEL Premium 4Motion. The new 2019 VW Atlas has not changed much other than adding two new trim levels, and a few expanded feature sets not made available to additional trims.
