How family friendly is the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas? | CAR MOM TOUR

Taking a look at the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas! The Atlas is one of my favorite family cars so I was so excited to take another look at the 2022 model.

So the craziest thing. I was looking at an Atlas today and thought “let me see what the Car Mom says about them” and when I checked you literally had just posted this! Maybe it’s meant to be 😬

Have had mine a couple years. Major complaints are:

Forward radar can become misaligned and the cruise control runs off that. To get that repaired is not a warranty fix. It’s “wear and tear” Over $500 to get it replaced and realigned.

Problem with my bench seats are:
The release to get the seats to fold are plastic. They often get jammed. One release was stuck I gave it a good tug and it broke. Couple $100 to have the dealer fix.
Another gripe is that the release sometimes won’t catch completely but sounds like it does. My sons seat folded with him in it slamming him on the drivers back. Also curious third row passengers can release the seat while in motion. That happened only once.


Other than that. We love the Atlas. Awesome space in the third row. I believe it has the most third room space WITH room for storage. Love the digital speedometer. Heated wheel. Super quiet inside. Rides so smooth also.

Great review!

You sold us on our Atlas 2 years ago and we LOVE it. By far the best in its class we test drove for functionality and space. Love love love!

I own a 2021 atlas. It’s a beautiful, large, sleek car. Drives so smooth. What I don’t love about it is that it’s been at the dealership twice for random hoses needing to be replaced and currently there for an airbag error recall for a back ordered part. My car will be at the dealership anywhere from 1-3 months. When I get it back I am trading it in. According to VW this is pretty common for the atlas. I do not recommend buying an atlas and would not buy vw again!

I have an Atlas with 4 kids. It's great for car seats. I've been able to put 2 rear facing, 1 forward facing, and 2 boosters all at the same time when I took my sister's 2 kids. I have an older 2018 se w/tech and there about 87, 000 on it. I haven't had any issues besides the ac compressor recently going out.

I’m really falling in love with the Atlas my sister has one and have me ride plenty of times. It rides so smoothly. It absorbs the bumps like they aren’t even there. The most spacious interior I ever been in. I planning on getting one at the end of the year. Starting to be my favorite SUV

I've had a VW tiguan since 2018 brand new and now it has 135, 000 miles on it and the only major issue I had was with my fuel injector and fuel pump, but if I had know about adding fuel injector cleaner in about every 10, 000 miles I probably would've never had that issue. Definitely considering the Atlas for my next car after we pay off this car.

Love your reviews! We just bought a used 2022 Atlas SE w/ Tech for the car seat tilt, the third row, and the overall size/room with me being 6'5" and needing as much room as possible. Plus my family is not small either and we don't want to always have to take separate vehicles when they visit, but we still wanted to avoid going to a full size SUV or minivan.

Note 1: ours actually does have a power tailgate, not sure why the one in your review doesn't.

Note 2: We put the rear-facing car seat behind the driver's seat, and at 6'5", I can still sit and drive comfortably!

I absolutely love my Atlas! I can’t believe they removed the power tailgate in the SE with tech 🤯 great tour!

[bbvideos]

I just got an atlas sle! I needed that power lift gate! So thankful for your videos in a time when it’s SO HARD to even find a car to test drive. They helped me narrow it down to 3 models. The atlas won cause it was so spacious and the third row access is clutch. It was a great addition to our outback! The dog is excited to have his own row (because yes, I wanted three rows primarily for my pup)

[fgsevilla]

Love your reviews! The initial atlas review had me set in purchasing the atlas- purchased the 2022 Atlas SE Tech this March and was fortunate to get the power tailgate on ours.

[brandtgraham]

We love our 2021 Atlas SEL! My wife says it is the perfect mom car, and I have been impressed with the reliability thus far! 30K miles on the clock and only oil changes to date! Great vehicle.

[lynncobb]

I really appreciate your straight forward opinions. We girls definitely have different opinions than all the men out there - you’ve really helped me in my search - thanks!

[gregphelps]

The power tailgate can be added after the fact. My VW Dealer directed me to a shop that can add it back into the car. All the circuitry is already in place, it is just a computer chip that is missing.

Just got my 2023 atlas last week and I love it!!

[topgun]

I just traded my 2022 Audi Q3 for the Atlas Cross Sport model in black with black 20 inch wheels and I love the extra space, but the heated mirrors, blind spot monoriting and power tailgaite where given a credit for supply chain issues, bummer ! I really liked your review and the chefs kiss for the bench seat in the back, like mine has !

[jessimccord]

Great video, as always! I started watching you recently and am obsessed with how well you explain the cars features and what is important to a family or any size. Also, your romper is super cute!! I want one! :-)

Picked up my 2022 Atlas Se w/ tech yesterday. Happy to say it has the tech to open the trunk with a kick sensor and push button to close.

Great review !!! I look forward to watching more of your content.
