For what may be the first time since its dealers peddled the now-iconic Microbus, Volkswagen has a family-friendly vehicle with three rows of seats.
But wait,there’s more. The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan are new designs with room for up to seven passengers. The full-size Atlas is positively palatial inside, but it’ll take up most of your garage. The compact Tiguan is maneuverable in tight spaces and plenty roomy for four passengers, but its available third row is a kid-only affair.
The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas does little wrong, but it's light on personality and a little low-rent inside—and it guzzles fuel. It's worth a look, but mostly rivals do more for less.
What it lacks in personality, the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan crossover SUV makes up for with its clean approach.
