Designed for the US and Chinese market, Volkswagen’s gargantuan Atlas is the German automaker’s response to complaints that their often sophisticated vehicles are too expensive and small for local tastes.

They may have overreacted: Atlas offers, count them, 17 cupholders and is a full six inches longer than the competing Toyota Highlander. And thanks to generous lease cash, you can get a solid deal on one, too.

How is this lease possible?

Through July 31, 2019, Volkswagen is offering generous dealer lease cash for Atlas models. Exact amounts depend on the trim level and location, ranging from $2,500 for a V6 SE model to $4,225 for a SE V6 4MOTION Technology Package in California. These amounts are not customer-facing incentives but will be included in the agreed upon selling price of the vehicle.

VW Credit has set the residual value of 2019 Volkswagen Atlas V6 SE at 55% of MSRP (assuming 36 months at 10,000 miles per year). The promotional money factor for this model is .00083, which is equivalent to 1.99% APR.

How can I get this lease?

Based on recent transactions, we would aim for a selling price of 12 to 15 percent off MSRP.

Note the usual caveats apply. Your actual deal will vary based on the discount offered by your dealer and the credit tier you qualify for. Some incentives may vary depending on location, and programs change each month.

The best strategy is to obtain quotes by email or phone from multiple dealers in your area and to research and discuss your deal on Leasehackr Forum.
