VW has unveiled its Basecamp accessory
line for the Atlas SUV, comprised of custom body cladding elements and unique
off-road inspired wheels. The pieces are available individually or as a set in
the Basecamp styling package. The entire line was developed from design
elements introduced by the Atlas Basecamp concept, unveiled at the 2019 NY Auto
Show.
The package was produced by Air Design,
and includes a two-tone satin silver and textured anthracite front bumper
guard, textured anthracite fender flares with integrated splash guards, satin
silver side door rocker panels and satin silver rear valance with trailer hitch
access. The German SUV also comes with ‘Basecamp’ badges situated on both front
fenders.
Also included is a production version of
the unique 17-inch Traverse MX wheels built specifically for VW by fifteen52.
These wheels were first seen on the Basecamp concept and can be had in two
colors – frosted graphite and radiant silver. It is also recommended that you
get 245/70 R17 all-terrain tires in order to best complement the design.
VW does specify however that the styling
package isn’t recommended for Atlas models that don’t have a trailer hitch, or
R-Line trims.
