VOLKSWAGEN ATLAS
While the Atlas grew from the CrossBlue concept first displayed in 2013, it’s much larger
and more substantial in appearance than the
concept. The Volkswagen design philosophy
of “simplicity and precision” drove the team at
every stage of the design, from the grille and
standard LED headlights to the stitching in the
seats. As one example, the designers integrated the LED Daytime Running Lights into the
grille with a generous amount of chrome and
detail for a robust look. The functionality of the
seven-seat layout was paramount in the Atlas’
development, with third-row seats that do not
suffer in comfort compared to the second-row
location, and an easy-access system to the
third row that is usable even if car seats are
installed in the second row.
