Volkswagen Bakersfield - How the 96.6 cu ft Cargo Space of the 2025 Volkswagen Atlas Simplifies Busy Weekends around Lamont, CA
Weekend plans have a way of multiplying—sports gear for early games, home improvement supplies, a stroller and travel crib for a grandparent visit—so an SUV that flexes seamlessly is invaluable. The 2025 Volkswagen Atlas was designed to make that shuffle effortless, thanks to its expansive interior and thoughtful storage details. With up to 96.6 cu ft of cargo capacity when the rear seats are folded down, Atlas is ready for big-box runs in the morning and a family hike in the afternoon. The load floor is broad and usable, the opening is wide, and the cabin is engineered with smart angles that make it easier to slide in long items when both rear rows are flat. Add the available Hands-free Easy Open/Close remote power rear liftgate, and you can keep your hands on the gear while Atlas takes care of the tailgate.
Inside, the focus is flexibility. The third row is more than an occasional seat—bring along friends, teammates, or visiting relatives without sacrificing comfort. When you need maximum room, both the second and third rows fold to create a nearly flat space that accommodates luggage, camping totes, or boxes for a remodel. For families who prefer to keep devices charged en route, Atlas offers up to eight USB-C ports with 45W fast charging on select trims, plus an available 115V power outlet—helpful for powering small accessories on the move. It all adds up to an interior that adapts to your schedule rather than forcing your schedule to adapt to it.
While cargo capacity is a headline, the 2025 Atlas also solves logistical hurdles you don’t consider until you need them. Park Distance Control helps with tight parking spots when home projects require multiple trips. The Overhead View Camera (Area View) on select trims adds a bird’s-eye perspective—handy in crowded lots when visibility matters most. If you’re planning a weekend at the lake or the trailhead, the available Trailer Hitch supports up to 5,000 pounds of towing when properly equipped, giving you confidence to bring along a pair of personal watercraft or a compact camper. For the tech-savvy, the 12-inch center display puts navigation and menus within quick reach, while Wireless App-Connect® and available VW Wi-Fi Hotspot keep playlists and directions flowing as you pack up and head out.
Of course, comfort counts as much as capacity. Available V-Tex leatherette or leather seating surfaces and multi-color adjustable ambient lighting elevate the cabin for early morning drives and late-night returns. The panoramic sunroof brings natural light to the second and third rows, creating a sense of airiness even when loaded with people and gear. If you prioritize quiet, opt for the Harman Kardon® premium audio system—it provides rich, clear sound to make road trips feel shorter and scenery feel closer.
For households mapping busy weeks around Lamont, CA, the Atlas sets itself apart as the utility vehicle that doesn’t feel utilitarian. It blends real-world cargo space with helpful driver assistance through IQ.DRIVE®, so you’re supported during commutes and highway stretches alike. When you want to go farther, available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive helps you tackle slick roads and light trails without a second thought. It’s the kind of confidence that makes last-minute plans more fun and less work.
