Volkswagen is now presenting at the New York International Auto Show two new versions of the Atlas: the Atlas Cross Sport and the Atlas Tanoak. The two concept cars illustrate how the Atlas range could be expanded into a model family. The Cross Sport is also based on the MQB platform, the concept impresses with a sporty rear body in coupé style and a plug-in hybrid drive.
Volkswagen is presenting a pickup whose technical DNA follows the modular transverse matrix, the MQB, for the first time: the all-wheel drive Atlas Tanoak. The pickup is named after a species of tree that is home to the Pacific Coast and grows up to 45 meters in height.
The cargo box has been designed to transport bikes, boards and smaller boats. Take the example of boats: there is a newly developed cargo bracket on the cargo bed, which can be released from its parked position near the rear window of the dual cab and be moved to the side walls of the cargo box.
