Technical data for Your Volkswagen Atlas SUV First Generation (2018-2023)

Technical data  
Information on technical data  
General information about specifications  
As long as nothing else is specified or listed, the technical data applies to the base model. Different values may result due to optional equipment, different model  
versions, special equipment, and market-specific equipment. The specifications in the legal vehicle documents always take precedence.  
The drive and power of the vehicle are listed in the official vehicle registration.  
Weight  
The values for the curb weight in the following tables apply to a vehicle ready for operation with standard equipment, without a driver, with fluids including 100% full  
fuel tank. Optional equipment and retrofitted equipment will increase the specified curb weight and reduce the possible load.  
The load consists of the following weight:  
Passengers.  
All luggage inside and outside the vehicle.  
Attachments.  
Trailer tongue weight if in trailer mode.  
The permitted total vehicle weight and the gross axle weight rating must never be exceeded. The permissible values are indicated on the safety compliance label or  
on the identification label on the B-pillar on the driver's side ⇒ Safety certificate ⇒ Identification label.  
Performance  
The performance was determined without equipment that limits performance, such as add-on parts.  
Due to technical or legal reasons, the performance specifications and mileage may vary.  
On some engines with heavy duty suspension, the speed maximum speed may be limited and lower.  
Towing weight and trailer tongue weight ratings  
The towing weight and tailer tongue weight ratings on the trailer hitch identification label are simply the test values for the trailer hitch. The vehicle-based  
specifications, which are often below these values, can be found in your vehicle documents. The specifications in the official vehicle registration or on the  
identification label of the vehicle ⇒ Identification label or safety certificate ⇒ Safety certificate always take precedence.  
Towing weight  
The indicated combination weights apply only for altitudes up to 1000 m (3000 ft) above sea level. For every additional 1000 m (3000 ft), the gross combination  
weight rating must be reduced approximately 10%.  
Incline angle  
The incline angle is the specification up to which the vehicle is able to drive uphill on an angle with its own power. This can depend on the road conditions, the  
weather conditions, and the engine power, among other things. The values apply to a vehicle that is in motion and not to a vehicle that starts to drive form a  
stationary position.  
A rising difference in altitude (incline) on a 100 m (300 ft) stretch is given in percentage or degrees (100% = 45 degrees).  
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)  
Structure of the vehicle identification number (VIN)  
The vehicle identification number (VIN, VIN) consists of 17 characters. These characters can be sorted into seven groups.  
The structure is explained using the following examples of vehicle identification numbers.
