The Volkswagen Atlas SUV, assembled in Chattanooga, was named one of the "10 best family cars" by Parents magazine and car shopping site Edmunds for 2018.
The Atlas shared top honors in the best 3-row SUV category with the Chevrolet Traverse.
"Enjoy 17 cup holders and the Atlas's Car-Net app to check if your doors are locked and even see where your car is parked. The Atlas also boasts capacity for five car seats," a statement said.
For the 11th consecutive year, the parenting and car experts from both organizations partnered to evaluate more than 300 vehicles, narrowing down the list to the 10 models that offer the best value, safety features, driving performance, and family-friendly elements on the road.
"The family car is one of the most important purchases parents will make, and it's no longer simply for getting from point A to point B-it's everything from mom's me-time to kids' entertainment," said Liz Vaccariello, editor-in-chief of Parents.
