- All-new 2018 Atlas is here; few trims carried in stock
- Cashback: $500 for select customers
- Finance: From 1.9% APR for 60 months
- Lease: From $299 per month for 36 months
New arrival:
The 2018 Atlas continues to roll into dealerships; however, our analysis shows that the S V6 and most versions of the 2.0T are primarily available via special order. So although the model boasts a low starting MSRP, expect most versions of available stock at dealerships to be in the mid-to-high $30,000 range.
Current offers are regional and expire April 30, 2018. Our examples are based on those for Western States.
Extra credit:
A $500 bonus is available for qualified military and first responders.
In addition, new college graduates (i.e. graduated in the past 24 months) with proof of permanent, full-time income are eligible to receive a $500 credit on new financing or lease contracts signed with Volkswagen Credit.
Get 1.9% APR:
Well-qualified shoppers can finance their Atlas from 1.9% APR for up to 60 months, or 2.9% APR for 72 months. These are fairly normal introductory rates for a newly-released vehicle.
Note that these promotional rates may not be available in some states, but dealers in those areas have been authorized to discount their Atlas inventories instead. So, if you’re shopping in an area without access to these low rates, be sure to be a strong negotiator on price.
Lease promotions:
This month, you can lease a 2018 Atlas S from $299 per month for 36 months with a 12,000-mile-per-year allowance and $3,299 due at signing (previously $309 for 36 months with $3,999 due at signing and 10,000 miles per year). This equates to an effective cost of $391, which is still a poor value.
Outside of Western states, leases tend to be around $10-20/month more expensive. Opting for all-wheel drive often adds about $30/month in most cases regardless of where you live.
