Three-row SUVs can safely err on the side of ride comfort over handling chops - parents aren’t exactly carving up on-ramps in these rigs - but the Atlas has always stood out for blending the two. Less has changed in back, where the Atlas remains as boxy-looking as ever - a missed opportunity, but I’ll take what happened up front as good enough. The bumper cladding retreats from its erstwhile prominence, and available R-Line trims add prominent outboard openings. They extend into headlights with curvier frames for 2021, and the whole of it makes for a look that’s less squared off. Gone are the cheese-grater crossbars on the Atlas’ grille, replaced by a new grille with leaner, simpler bars. In the refresh, Volkswagen did some much needed rounding to the elements up front, akin to what you see on the Cross Sport. I found that version blocky and busy, even after ’s Editorial department owned one for a year. Styling is subjective enough that I seldom comment on it, but the Atlas’ visual tweaks for 2021 make it a palatable SUV - something I couldn’t say for the 2018-20 model.

Three standard rows of seats carry up to seven people (six if you get second-row captain’s chairs). Stack up the trims here, and compare the 20 Atlas here. A non-turbo V-6 remains available on all but the base trim level both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Volkswagen updated the Atlas for 2021 with smoother styling, more technology and wider availability for its base engine, a turbo four-cylinder. The Atlas doesn’t quite eliminate the sacrifices, but it minimizes them as much as any mid-size SUV could. Versus the competition: If your motivation is sheer practicality, family SUVs always lose out to minivans - a necessary sacrifice, some might argue, to avoid driving a four-wheeled toaster.
