• Third year in a row that Volkswagen SUVs earn straight A's

Reston, VA - Volkswagen of America, Inc., is pleased to announce that the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, and ID. 4 have been named Cars.com's 2024 Best Cars for Car Seats. All three vehicles earned A's in their Car Seat Checks. This marks the third year in a row that Volkswagen SUVs have been given top honors-Tiguan was among last year's accolades. Volkswagen also has the most cars on this year's Best Cars for Car Seats list of any OEM-VW models comprise half of all vehicles to earn straight A's.

"During Cars.com's testing, we found the Volkswagen Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport and ID.4 all excelled when it came to our car seat testing," said Jennifer Geiger, Cars.com news editor and certified child passenger safety technician. "Growing families will surely appreciate each vehicle's roominess and conveniently accessible Latch anchors, making car seat installation a breeze."

The Cars.com Best Cars for Car Seats Report compiles 12 months (July to July) worth of comprehensive Car Seat Checks conducted by Cars.com's team of experts. Each Car Seat Check is performed by a Cars.com certified child passenger safety technician who installs three types of car seats - infant, convertible and high-back booster - into each new vehicle and evaluates the vehicle's Latch system, as well as how the vehicle accommodates the different car seats. Cars.com tests vehicles as they are made available by automakers.

Cars.com has evaluated more than 800 vehicles over the course of 14 years. For 2024, 52 vehicles were evaluated. For a vehicle to achieve an 'A' rating, the vehicle must have sufficient room for the child and car seat, but not impact legroom for the driver or front passenger. The vehicle's car seat Latch system also must be conveniently accessible and easy to use.

"Volkswagen is proud to have our Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport and ID. 4 models acknowledged as three of the best in this year's Best Cars for Car Seats list," said Thomas Zorn, Vice President of Vehicle Safety, Volkswagen Group of America. "This recognition is a testament to the care taken in the research and development of our vehicles regarding the areas of safety and functionality."

The ID.4 is Volkswagen's first all-electric SUV, and starting in 2023, assembly was localized in the company's state-of-the-art plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Based on Volkswagen's MEB electric vehicle architecture, the ID.4 marries the strengths of a purpose-built EV with performance, packaging and value-features that have marked the brand for decades. The entry ID.4 Standard with a 62 kWh battery starts at $39,735 MSRP for 2024 and all 2024 ID.4s are eligible for the full Federal EV tax credit of $7,500.

The full Atlas family of SUVs is assembled domestically at Volkswagen's state-of-the-art assembly facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The seven-passenger Atlas offers competitive levels of technology and spaciousness combined with hallmark Volkswagen driving dynamics and attention to detail, all at a price designed to draw attention in the crowded family SUV segment. The refreshed 2024 model offers enhanced technology, upgraded interior designs and materials, and a livelier powertrain. MSRP for the 2024 Atlas starts at $37,725 and destination is $1,350.

The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport combines the winning formula of the seven-seater Atlas-ample interior space, plus a host of comfort and technology features at an attractive price-with bold design for a stylish five-seater. MSRP for the 2024 Atlas Cross Sport 2.0-liter starts at $36,715 and destination is $1,350.
