Parents magazine has named the Chattanooga-built Volkswagen Atlas a "2020 Best Family Car," according to the automaker.

It's the third consecutive year the three-row, seven-seat SUV has received the nod for its family-friendly features, Volkswagen of America said.

"The 2020 Atlas provides American families with features and capabilities they need most, and we think it will continue to hit the mark with them going forward," said Duncan Movassaghi, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Volkswagen of America.

The testing team at Parents magazine cited the Atlas for its comfortable driving experience and safety features, its car-seat compatibility because of its bench-style second-row seating and that Atlas has available three-zone climate control, allowing passengers to adjust heating and cooling to their own needs, according to Volkswagen.
