Additional specs for the Volkswagen Atlas The Volkswagen Atlas | MARK RALSTON/AFP via Getty ImagesĪccording to Consumer Reports, the Volkswagen Atlas ranks as number 21 of 26 under the category of Midsized Sport-Utility Vehicles. When compared to similar vehicles from other manufacturers, though, the Golf ranks solidly in the center - it has a 54 percent reliability rating while the Toyota Corolla Hatchback is at 96 percent and the Volkswagen Jetta is at the bottom with 22 percent. The Golf also struggles to maintain reliable in-car electronics and brakes. Like the other similar Volkswagen models, one of the Golf’s weakest points is its body integrity. While this vehicle only showed an overall improvement in one of its research years, it has mostly remained steady in its ratings. While more recent models have improved in these areas, they continue to lag behind in the reliability of their power equipment, body integrity, and fuel systems.Ī similar Volkswagen with a slightly better rating is the Golf, which has a predicted reliability rating of 3/5. In the seven years that Consumer Reports has been researching this vehicle, its overall reliability rating has only improved once.Įarlier Tiguan models really struggled with engine and transmission reliability.

The Volkswagen Tiguan, for example, has the same 1/5 projected score - even with the benefit of surveys dating back to 2012. Unfortunately, even the vehicles with a more extensive history don’t receive particularly good reliability ratings. Given this fact, it’s only fair to the Atlas that we compare it to some similar Volkswagen models to see how they do on the reliability scale. The earliest model year for the Atlas was 2018, which means that Consumer Reports doesn’t have too much data to go on for this model.
