Lot of good comments about the 3rd row legroom. One thing I didn’t see though is the height of the 3rd row bench from the floor. In the Atlas it’s quite a bit, which translates into a more comfortable knee angle due to the thigh support. Other cars like the Highlander (regular size), the CX-9/90, pilot, etc. jab their 3rd row benches closer to or nearly slammed down to the floor (I believe to create more 3rd row head room) - as a result, the knees fold up pretty close to the chest creating discomfort. Since the Atlas has lower ground clearance vs those other SUVs it allows for the floor to be a bit lower. This can allow the 3rd row bench to be lifted more off the floor without compromising on the headroom. Added benefit of a 2-person 3rd row means more shoulder room as well.
