The Volkswagen Atlas is the largest SUV in Volkswagen's lineup, and it's also one of the most capable when it comes to towing. When equipped with the V6 engine and towing package, the Atlas can tow 5,000 pounds. This means you can easily tow a small camper or boat with this SUV while still enjoying a comfortable and spacious ride. The Atlas also offers standard 4Motion all-wheel-drive and a variety of advanced safety features to ensure a smooth and safe towing experience.
Volkswagen ID.4
