2020 Edition Specials

The 2020 year edition once again arranges the Volkswagen Atlas models in the same S, SE, SEL and Premium trims  that distinguish themselves in respect of their power choices and configurations. The lineup thus again divides itself in categories of V6, AWD, w/ Technology, w/ R-Line features.

Power Options

All the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas models run either with the power of a turbo-4 engine or a V-6 counterpart. At the basement itself, the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas issues a 235-hp derived from the turbo-4 engine and drives with front-wheels.

The other option you get is 6 liter V6 engine that can pump up the horsepower to 276 with all four wheels sharing the work.

This infotainment system now works in Accord with a heavy bunch of standard safety equipment that includes a forward collision warning that works in tune with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot and rear cross-traffic warning, a full set of airbags, and all this functionalities are supported by a rearview camera. To avail features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, or automatic parking feature, you have to add a few more bucks to the base price of the trim you choose.

Outstanding Utility Score

At the showroom of a famous VW dealer near Seaside  the sales staff were more than happy to show their customers, how useful is the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas and that it is the utility score that of this crossover SUV that can surpass others in this segment.

After  making place for seven adult passengers, the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas leaves about  20.6 cubic feet of space behind the third row to load the luggage and cargo, which can be further stretched into 55.5 cubic feet by folding down the third row.  You can get even more cargo space, measuring 96.8 cubic feet if you can tumble down the second row of seats, when you need to transport or carry even bigger loads.

Our Take

To help you out in choosing the best Atlas trim for yourself with a moderate budget, we would suggest the trim SE that will not only drive smoothly with a  V-6 engine but also be more comfortable with better quality of materials and in terms of feature convenience.

If you are looking for that rare combination of style and plenty of substance in a family car, we would recommend you the 2020 Blazer, the two-row midsize SUV model from Chevrolet. All these years Chevrolet has developed this SUV crossover with more and more attractive lines that resulted into today’s bold and beautiful 2020 Blazer models. But what makes the 2020 lineup of Blazer more attractive is its agile performance that matches perfectly with its elegant appearance.

Here we would like to mention that the overall ride experience in the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer is stepped up in two trim layers, the RS and Premier, where the level of creature comfort and convenience are elevated with the higher priced models. In this what comes part and parcel with every 2020 Blazer model is the 3.6L V6 engine that ensures a sleezy drive irrespective of the trim you choose, assured a recent Blazer buyer at the North Houston Chevrolet dealer showroom.

Tailor Made Interior Space

It is a known fact that not every car buyer will have the same requirement of transportation. There will be small families as well as big, with different travel purposes. While some might need a basic car simply to ease out the daily commuting need, others might be looking for a bigger family space to enjoy the on road adventures together.

Chevrolet realized this fact long ago, and hence made its Blazer model elastic enough to be tailor made by the users as per their space requirements. With all the seats given the option to be folded down, the 2020 Blazer will always offer you an available cargo hold of 64.2 cu. ft. which you can use as much you wish to carry.

A Nimble Performer

Though the standard powertrain on RS and Premier trims, sees a 3.6L V6 engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission to crank 308 hp, can tow up to 4,500 lbs., the 2LT and 3LT trims make use of a 2.0L turbo engine which is newly introduced for the 2020 year edition.

The turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine will equip the Blazer with 230 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, while a naturally aspirated ECOTEC 2.5-liter inline-four can also be opted for those who are satisfied with 193 hp. The mark of this engine is a decent 27 MPG of mileage on the highway as rated by the EPA and it is gifted with a Variable Valve Timing for an added efficiency.
