Volkswagen Atlas

The Volkswagen Atlas is a mid-size SUV specifically designed for the North American market. It was first introduced for the 2018 model year and is primarily manufactured at the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant in Tennessee, USA. While the vehicle is also produced in China under the name 'Teramont', the specific Atlas branding is tied closely to the North American region.

The brand originated in Germany and is a central part of the global Volkswagen Group. Despite its production location in the United States, the brand remains a German icon with its global headquarters in Wolfsburg. The Atlas was a strategic move by the company to appeal to the demand for larger family vehicles in the US and Canada.

Today, the Atlas remains under the ownership of the Volkswagen Group, one of the world's largest automotive manufacturers. The company oversees a portfolio of diverse brands, but the Atlas is marketed directly under the Volkswagen brand name. The vehicle continues to be a core pillar of the company's SUV lineup in the Western hemisphere.
