2025 Volkswagen Atlas SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Volkswagen Atlas is a midsize three-row SUV available in five primary trim levels: SE, SE with Technology, Peak Edition, SEL and SEL Premium R-Line. All come standard with 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 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?
We suggest going with the SE with Technology. While many of the changes over the base SE are visual, features like a power liftgate and parking sensors make the Atlas easier to live with day to day.
