As you move up the trim ladder, you will discover the technology packages include additional features. On the SEL trims, you also get the advantage of the VW Digital Cockpit and the Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) system. The VW Digital Cockpit displays key information through a digital, high-resolution screen. Plus, you can customize what details you see, such as:

Finally, the SEL Premium trims come with the advanced Park Assist system and an Overhead View Camera (Area View). Park Assist parks your VW Atlas semi-automatically by adjusting the steering, while you focus on accelerating and braking. With this bit of technology by your side, you just might find yourself searching for parallel parking spots, rather than avoiding them.
On top of that, the Overhead View Camera (Area View) provides the driver with a 360-degree view of their VW Atlas. When you have a visual on every angle, you can navigate with confidence in any direction.
When it comes to other driver-assist safety features, the 2021 VW Atlas also features the following systems across the board:
These components work together to boost your awareness of the area around your VW Atlas through audio-visual signals. Some can intervene autonomously by activating the brakes to avoid or mitigate a collision.
In terms of infotainment and amenities, the Volkswagen Atlas also comes equipped with an available wireless smartphone charger, so you can keep your battery charged without plugging anything in. Standard App-Connect lets you connect your smartphone to the enlarged touchscreen display, enabling you to access your favorite apps on the go.
