Families across Fairfield County are looking for space. The Volkswagen Atlas delivers with standard third-row seating, generous legroom, and effortless cargo flexibility designed for real-world life in CT.
Every standard Volkswagen Atlas comes equipped with three rows of seating, accommodating up to seven passengers. If you choose the available second-row Captain’s Chairs, the seating capacity is tailored to six. Unlike many midsize SUVs where the third row is reserved strictly for small children, the VW Atlas offers class-leading 3rd-row legroom that comfortably fits adults.
Note: If you are looking at the VW Atlas Cross Sport, that model is a strict two-row SUV seating five.
Whether you are carpooling to school in Stamford or heading up to Vermont for the weekend, the Atlas adapts to your passenger needs.
The standard configuration features a 60/40-split folding second-row bench seat and a 50/50-split folding third-row. This setup maximizes your passenger capacity without sacrificing the ability to fold sections down individually for long or bulky cargo.
Opting for the available second-row Captain's Chairs reduces total seating to six, but adds premium comfort for second-row passengers. It also creates a convenient center pass-through, making it even easier for passengers to walk directly back to the third row.
A third row isn't helpful if nobody can get to it. Volkswagen engineered the Atlas specifically to eliminate the typical struggles of a 3-row SUV.
One of the most praised features of the VW Atlas is the second-row tilt-and-slide mechanism. You can tilt the second-row seats forward to access the third row even with a front-facing child car seat installed. This is a game-changer for busy parents.
With 33.7 inches of legroom in the third row, the Atlas isn't just for kids. Adults can sit comfortably in the very back during standard commutes across Fairfield County, making it a true family hauler.
Even with all three rows upright, you retain 20.6 cubic feet of cargo space—enough for a massive grocery haul. Fold the third row flat, and that expands to 55.5 cu. ft. Fold both rear rows, and you unlock a cavernous 96.6 cubic feet.
Reading about space is one thing, but sitting in it is another. Bring the family down to our showroom on West Broad Street. Test the third-row legroom, try folding the seats, and take a no-pressure test drive.
The main difference is seating capacity and roofline. The standard VW Atlas is a 3-row SUV that seats 7. The VW Atlas Cross Sport has a sportier, sloped roofline and is strictly a 2-row SUV that seats 5.
