Volkswagen Atlas Basecamp Concept Looks Ready To Go Off-Road
German carmaker Volkswagen has revealed the Atlas Basecamp Concept SUV ahead of its debut at the 2019 New York Auto Show later this month. The Atlas Basecamp Concept is based on VW's Atlas SUV which is the largest vehicle produced on the carmaker's MQB platform and was introduced in 2018. The Atlas is sold as the Terramont in countries like China and Russia.
The new Volkswagen Basecamp Concept features quite a few custom touches to make it stand out from its regular siblings. These changes include a custom body, lift kit, custom wheels, all-terrain tyres, a roof rack with bike mounts, and LED light bars.
The
Atlas
Basecamp
Concept
is
based
on
the
SEL
variant
of
the
SUV
and
is
painted
Platinum
Gray
and
Black
Uni
with
a
matte
finish
and
orange
accents.
The
Basecamp
concept
retains
the
3.6-litre
VR6
engine
of
the
Atlas
SEL
which
send
276bhp
to
all
four
wheels
via
an
8-speed
automatic
gearbox
and
VW's
4Motion
all-wheel
drive
setup.
The
Atlas
Basecamp
concept
from
Volkswagen
features
a
custom
lift
kit
from
H&R
with
coil
over
springs
that
raise
the
SUV
up
by
1.5-inches
(38.1mm).
The
custom
body
kit
of
the
Altlas
Basecamp
is
from
a
company
by
the
name
of
AirDesign
and
the
SUV
also
sports
a
Front
Runner
Slimline
II
roof
rack
system
with
bike
holders
along
with
off-road
LED
light
bars
on
the
front
and
rear.
The Volkswagen Altlas Basecamp Concept sits on a custom set of fifteen52 Traverse MX Concept wheels that also make their debut with the SUV. The fifteen52 concept wheels will go into production later this year and on the Atlas Basecamp come wrapped in 265/70R17 all-terrain tyres.
Hitched to the tow-hook fitted to the back of the Atlas Basecamp Concept is an off-road capable HIVE EX compact expedition trailer. This trailer plays host to a queen-size bed, pullout canopy, and kitchenette, complete with a stove, a sink, and a refrigerator/ freezer combo that can operate on an optional 12-volt battery. Other features on the trailer include a self-contained water tank, propane tank, portable toilet, hot shower, and removable levelling jacks.
The Volkswagen Atlas Basecamp Concept will debut at the 2019 New York Auto Show and will be showcased later in the year at SEMA 2019.
