What Is the Cargo Capacity of the Volkswagen Atlas?

The below table shows the maximum cargo volume of the Volkswagen Atlas.

Volkswagen Atlas Cargo Capacity (Base Trim)	Measurements
Max Cargo Volume (Cargo/Trunk Area)	20.60 cubic feet
Max Cargo Volume (Cargo/Trunk Area W/ Rear Seats Down)	55.50 cubic feet
Max Cargo Volume (Cargo/Trunk Area W/ All Seats Down)	96.80 cubic feet
Rear Track Width (Estimated Width)	67.6 inches
Head Room 2nd Row/Rear (Estimated Height)	39.5 inches
Wheelbase (Estimated Length)	117.3 inches

Rear Track Width for Estimated Cargo Width:
Rear track width measures the distance between the centerline of the two wheels. This gives you an idea of the overall width of the cargo area.
Head Room for Estimated Cargo Height:
The headroom measures the distance from the bottom of the seat to the roof. This is more accurate for SUVs and minivans. This gives you an idea of the interior height of the car.
Wheelbase for Estimated Cargo Length:
Length is the hardest metric to estimate since there are different measurements with the seats up versus down. The wheelbase measures the distance between the center of the front and rear wheels. Again, this is more accurate for SUVs and minivans.

The following "fit assessments" are based on cubic cargo volume and should only serve as an estimate.
