What it is

The 2027 Volkswagen Atlas is a small sport utility vehicle with front-wheel drive. It uses gasoline, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and an automatic eight-speed transmission.

Its defining EPA figure is 25 MPG combined. That blends the 22 MPG city rating with the 29 MPG highway rating.

The numbers

Expect the Atlas to return 22 MPG in city driving and 29 MPG on the highway. The combined figure is 25 MPG.

Its tailpipe output is listed at 364 grams of CO2 per mile.

What it costs to run

The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $2,700. That figure reflects the Atlas's gasoline consumption at its official ratings.

How it compares

For side-by-side SUV shopping, use 25 combined MPG as the Atlas's baseline. The 22 city and 29 highway figures show how its result changes with driving mix.

You can place it alongside other Volkswagen cars or review similar models in the fuel-efficient SUVs list.

Who it suits

The Atlas fits a buyer looking for a gasoline SUV with front-wheel drive and a clear split between city and highway fuel use.

It makes the most sense when your driving can work with a 25 MPG combined rating and a $2,700 EPA annual fuel-cost estimate.

Trade-offs

The 29 MPG highway rating is higher than the 22 MPG city figure, so frequent stop-and-go driving will use more fuel than steady highway travel.

You get a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, gasoline fuel, front-wheel drive, and an automatic transmission. Its listed tailpipe output is 364 grams of CO2 per mile.

Verdict

Choose the 2027 Atlas if a front-wheel-drive gasoline SUV matches your driving and you can budget about $2,700 each year for fuel. Its official numbers are straightforward: 25 MPG combined, 22 in town, and 29 on the highway. The small sport utility classification and turbocharged four-cylinder define the package, while the 364-gram-per-mile CO2 figure is part of the running-cost picture. Buyers comparing SUV fuel use should judge it against their own city-highway split rather than the combined number alone.
