The Appeal of the SEL Premium R-Line Package

The R-Line package transforms the Atlas with distinctive elements that set it apart from standard models. Strong performance, stylish exterior design, exclusive interior luxury and comfort, and upscale technology features make this premium vehicle hard to resist.

Exterior and Interior Enhancements

On the exterior, 21-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires, silver roof rails, and exclusive R-Line styling elements give the SEL Premium R-Line trim an attractive, athletic stance. Inside, the cabin exudes luxury and sophistication, with a sport, leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, perforated Vienna leather seating, a power-tilting panoramic sunroof, and pedals in brushed stainless steel. Heated second-row seating provides comfort for passengers, while heated, massaging seats pamper front-row occupants and provide extra comfort for long drives.

Performance and Capability

The SEL Premium R-Line enhances performance with 4MOTION, Volkswagen’s all-wheel-drive system with active control and driving mode selection. This is added to an already strong turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that produces 269 horsepower and 273 Ib-ft of torque. The R-Line manages power and delivery effectively, is confident in varying weather conditions, and can easily handle light off-roading adventures.

The Atlas R-Line maintains the same performance specifications as other models, reaching 60 mph in 7.3 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 117 mph. Fuel efficiency ratings show 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway for front-wheel drive models, while all-wheel drive versions achieve 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. With proper equipment, the Atlas can tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it capable of handling trailers, boats, or recreational vehicles.

Safety Features and Innovative Technology

IQ.DRIVE, Volkswagen’s exclusive suite of safety technology, includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and Front Assist, which comprises forward collision warning and autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist monitoring. The R-Line model adds Park Assist with front and rear distance control, and an overhead-view camera for seamless parking maneuvers.

The 2025 Atlas comes standard with a 12-inch touch-screen display and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. A wireless phone charger also comes standard, along with six 45-watt fast-charging USB-C ports throughout the cabin.
