Volkswagen new mid size SUV for USA

Video : New Volkswagen Atlas Mid-Size Seven Seater SUV Official Details

Volkswagen, despite its huge global success is predominantly considered a maker of small to medium sized car in the US market. Its Jetta once used to be the largest selling European sedan in the US, but when it comes to SUVs, the German brand hasn’t quite been able to spin any big numbers. That might change soon, with the brand officially, partly revealing its upcoming mid-size, seven seater SUV for the American market. Rumoured to be called the Atlas, the new SUV wouldn’t be positioned as a super premium model like the Touareg. It would be as big though, with ample space inside, and would be targeted at the mainstream market (think Honda Pilot).

Volkswagen is targeting American families with an active, outdoorsy lifestyle with this one.  The muscular looking SUV will be based on the VW CrossBlue concept which was shown a few years ago. A wide stance, flared wheel arches and muscular haunches would make it look the business, while a credible AWD system under the running board would also make it a worthy off-roader.

Power will be provided by a 2.0 litre TSI petrol with 238hp of power or through a bigger 3.6 liter V6 with 280 hp. With more than five meters of length and three full fledged rows of seats, the new mid-size SUV or the Atlas would be Volkswagen’s biggest shot yet at breaking into the tough American SUV market.

Expect the Atlas, or the new mid-size SUV to be introduced to the US market by March-April 2017.
