If you’re looking for a sporty new SUV in the Onalaska area, you can’t go wrong with the Volkswagen Atlas! The Atlas is a mid-size crossover with three rows of seats, offering plenty of space for passengers and cargo while remaining easy to maneuver into narrow parking spots. There’s a lot to love inside and out, but one question we get a lot is whether or not the Atlas is fuel-efficient. After all, larger SUVs don’t often get as good of gas mileage compared to smaller SUVs, but the Atlas actually earns excellent MPG ratings in the city and on the highway! Check out the Volkswagen La Crosse guide below for more details on the Volkswagen Atlas gas mileage, performance specs, and more.

2023 Volkswagen Atlas Fuel Economy by Powertrain

The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas comes with two engine choices, each of which can be paired with either front-wheel drive or 4MOTION® all-wheel drive. The standard 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo option delivers plenty of power to the Winona roads, but you’ll want to go with the available 3.6L V6 if you want to maximize your performance. However, if you’re looking to maximize your fuel efficiency instead, the front-wheel drive 4-cylinder engine is the best bet.

Both engines are paired with an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission, which lets you switch between automatic and manual modes with the touch of a button! Check out the Volkswagen Atlas gas mileage below:
