The Volkswagen Atlas just received a facelift for the 2024 model year that includes new light fixtures, an updated interior, a new engine, and a bit more. At the 2023 New York Auto Show, VW is bringing out a brand new iteration of that updated Atlas dubbed the Peak Edition.
The Atlas Peak Edition is essentially a ruggedized version of the standard three-row SUV – and we use the term "ruggedized" lightly. Although VW says the go-anywhere Atlas Basecamp concept from 2019 inspired this trim, the off-road upgrades here are pretty minimal. The Peak Edition has extra side cladding to prevent nicks and scratches, roof rails, and all-terrain tires (255/60) wrapped around 18-inch wheels. VW tells us that most of the changes here are minor as not to detract from the drive experience.
