Stevens Point Auto Center – Why the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium R-Line Feels Effortless for Daily Drives around Rothschild, WI

The top-tier Atlas SEL Premium R-Line brings together confident performance, premium comfort, and smart driver assistance in a way that makes busy days feel simpler. The turbocharged 2.0 TSI® engine puts down 269 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque for brisk, smooth acceleration, while available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive adds the traction you want for slushy intersections and unpredictable shoulder seasons. Inside, you’ll find a refined cabin that often includes leather seating surfaces, heated and ventilated front seats, heated outboard second-row seats, and an expansive panoramic sunroof — thoughtful upgrades that pay off whether you’re shuttling kids to practice or cruising up Highway 51. With a 12-inch center display, a clear digital cockpit, Wireless App-Connect, and available Head-up Display, the SEL Premium R-Line keeps essential info visible and every device connected without clutter or fuss.

Driver confidence comes standard with IQ.DRIVE®, and in the SEL Premium R-Line, that means supportive features like Travel Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Lane Assist, and advanced parking aids that bring composure to tight downtown slots and after-school pickups. Area View gives a 360-degree perspective to help you judge curbs and garage edges, while an available Harman Kardon premium audio system adds concert-like clarity to favorite playlists and podcasts. From the illuminated front signature to bold R-Line design cues, it’s a trim that looks every bit as poised as it feels — and its spacious third row and flexible cargo area stand ready for weekend trips, folding chairs, coolers, and the family dog’s travel crate.

• Power and poise: Turbocharged 2.0 TSI® with 269 hp and 273 lb-ft for confident merging
• All-weather capability: Available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive for year-round traction
• Premium comfort: Heated and ventilated front seats plus available heated second-row outboard seats
• Smart visibility: 12-inch display, digital cockpit, and available Head-up Display

For families who value a calmer commute, these upgrades matter. The SEL Premium R-Line’s well-tuned suspension smooths over patched pavement, while acoustic-minded touches keep cabin conversation easy at highway speeds. Towing up to 5,000 pounds means weekend getaways with small campers or watercraft remain firmly in play. And with myVW and myVW+, remote features let you locate your vehicle, check locks, and even start the engine to pre-condition the cabin on frosty mornings. It’s a thoughtful ecosystem built to streamline your week — right down to helpful alerts and service history access that make maintenance planning less of a chore.

When you’re ready to see how these features feel together, visit Stevens Point Auto Center — serving Wisconsin Rapids, Waupaca, and Rothschild — for a focused walkaround and an informative drive in the Atlas SEL Premium R-Line. We’ll help you understand how IQ.DRIVE® supports long-haul confidence, what 4MOTION® adds in winter, and which seating and cargo configurations best match your routine, whether that’s band concerts, home improvement runs, or both in the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What makes SEL Premium R-Line different from the SEL?

It adds premium appointments and advanced tech — think R-Line styling, available Head-up Display, available Harman Kardon audio, Area View, and more sophisticated parking aids — while retaining the SEL’s spacious layout and confident performance.

Is 4MOTION® worth it if I mostly drive on paved roads?

Yes. 4MOTION® enhances traction in rain, slush, and snow, and it can improve composure during quick evasive maneuvers or when pulling a small trailer up a wet ramp or driveway.

How does Travel Assist help on longer drives?

Travel Assist provides hands-on, semi-automated support by working with Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Assist to help manage speed and lane centering on well-marked roads, reducing fatigue over extended highway stretches.

1. Set your priorities: Comfort, capability, and technology often guide the right SEL Premium R-Line configuration.
2. Test key features: Try Area View, parking aids, and the digital cockpit during your drive.
3. Plan for seasons: If winter confidence matters, choose 4MOTION® for added traction.
4. Confirm connectivity: Pair your devices to Wireless App-Connect and explore myVW+ remote features.
