2024 Volkswagen Atlas SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas is a midsize three-row SUV available in four primary trim levels: SE, SE with Technology, SEL and SEL Premium R-Line. There is also a new Peak Edition subtrim available for the SE with Technology and SEL trim levels. In contrast to previous Atlas years, only one engine is available: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (269 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque) that is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The SE and SE with Technology are available in front- or all-wheel drive. All other versions, including the Peak Edition, come standard with AWD. Keep reading for our rundown of the key features you get with each Atlas trim.
Which Atlas trim does Edmunds recommend?
The numerous changes to the 2024 Atlas mean the base SE is more compelling than ever. For our money, it's still worth upgrading to the SE with Technology. Many of its upgrades are more stylish than useful, but the power liftgate is a major quality-of-life upgrade, and the parking sensors could come in handy as you navigate this sizable SUV into a parking spot.
