Volkswagen also brought the Atlas to this exhibition earlier, competing in the large SUV segment. The trend of shifting from low ground clearance to high ground clearance is developing across all markets from the US and Europe to Asia, causing manufacturers to focus more resources, while requirements for emissions and fuel consumption are becoming increasingly stringent.
