New Volkswagen Atlas
VW's new seven-seater SUV is the result of a two year process
driven by the report American buyers tend have with their vehicles.
The Atlas is of course derived from the CrossBlue
concept. However, unlike the CrossBlue, the Atlas is a lot bigger and more substantial in appearance, according to the
automaker.
This philosophy is what drove the design team every
step of the way. From the grille and the standard LED headlights to the
stitching in the seats. It's why the LED Daytime Running Lights were integrated
into the grille itself. The look of the Atlas is meant to age
well and by well, we mean not go out of fashion in two or three years time.
At least that's what VW thinks.
The clean yet overall, robust design also made its
way into the cabin where the Atlas features a balanced and uncomplicated layout
- not just for the dashboard, but for the software interfaces as well. Finally, in order to create a welcoming
atmosphere inside, the Atlas design team actually drew inspiration from
high-end furniture.
The new Volkswagen Atlas SUV is currently on display
at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show.
