Standard across the board is a bevy of new dashboard tech, including a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.25-inch driver instrumentation screen. From SE w/Tech trim up, you get six USB-C ports in total, wireless charging, 45W wired charging, and a 115W power outlet in the second row. There’s also wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, though Volkswagen’s underlying infotainment system is reasonably easy to navigate.

The same sadly can’t be said for the touch-sensitive controls for HVAC and volume that run underneath the touchscreen. The glossy black gully is a greasy fingerprint magnet, but it’s also tricky to precisely control. Things only get more frustrating at night, given VW’s inexplicable decision not to add backlighting to those touch-buttons. It was bad in the Golf R, and it’s bad here.

Thankfully, there are at least physical volume keys on the steering wheel. That’s also where you’ll find some of the controls for the Atlas’ IQ.Drive driver-assistance package, also standard on all trims. That includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot warnings, pedestrian detection, lane-keep assistance, rear cross-traffic alerts, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go. SEL trim and above get predictive adaptive cruise, which can automatically adjust the set speed according to upcoming curves and other road changes.
