5 Reasons the Volkswagen Atlas Makes a Great Safety Vehicle
Are you considering a new SUV like the Volkswagen Atlas? If so, we welcome you to visit our Norristown dealership and schedule a test drive. However, in the interim, we recommend taking some time to get to know this family-friendly SUV a bit better.
Though it’s beautiful on the outside, the Volkswagen Atlas is much more than just a pretty face. Between its advanced tech and unique safety features, here are five reasons the Volkswagen Atlas makes a great safety vehicle.
1. Carefree Coverage to Give You Greater Peace of Mind
If you’re considering the Atlas, one of the features you’ll be sure to love is what they call Carefree Coverage.
Provided by Volkswagen, Carefree Coverage includes a variety of add-on benefits for all new Volkswagen-brand vehicles, including the famed Atlas. This coverage includes two years or the first 20,000 miles of standard Scheduled Carefree Maintenance, so you can keep your Atlas in tip-top shape.
Also provided are three years of Roadside Assistance that’s available to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, as well as a New Vehicle Limited Warranty for the first four years of ownership or the first 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. This additional coverage keeps you in good hands, whether you need a tow, fuel delivery, or tire change.
2. Dynamic Safety System
If we’re talking about why the Atlas makes a great safety vehicle, then we have to look at the built-in safety features.
These features include:
- Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
- Rear View Camera System
- Safety Cage
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System
- Intelligent Crash Response System
- Electronic Brake-Pressure Distribution
- Electronic Stability Control
Each one offers a unique ability that adds a level of comfort to your drive, whether you’re commuting to and from work, running errands, or taking the family on vacation.
However, these features are also in addition to the IQ.DRIVE Driver Assistance system, which features the following:
- Rear Traffic Alert
- Front Assist
- Lane Assist
- Travel Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Active Blind Spot Monitor
- Emergency Assist
- Light Assist
- Dynamic Road Sign Display
- Area View
- Exit Warning System
- Park Distance Control with Maneuver Braking
3. Superb Handling Thanks to 4MOTION with Active Control
When you’re traveling, you want to have peace of mind that you’re covered on every type of road surface. And with the Atlas, you can!
This SUV comes with 4MOTION with Active Control, which allows you to switch up your driving mode based on where you’re driving. Your options include both Hill Descent Control and Off-Road Mode to give you better traction on tough road surfaces and while traveling downhill.
4. Technology That Keeps You Connected
Though we may not initially think of the ability to stay connected as a built-in vehicle safety feature, it certainly can be. After all, if there’s an emergency and you need help, you need to have a vehicle that makes it possible.
The Atlas gives you access to a wireless charging station for your smartphone so you always have a battery, as well as a Car-Net hotspot trial and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
5. All-Season Tires
Last but not least, what helps make the Atlas such a stellar safety vehicle is that it comes equipped with all-season tires, regardless of model.
For example, the SE comes with 18” wheels, whereas the Peak Edition SE comes with 18” alloy wheels with all-terrain tires. These tire designs give you an edge when traveling on rugged terrain and slick road surfaces. The Atlas makes tackling the Pennsylvania roads after a rain- or snowstorm easy!
