Set to Johnny Cash's These Are My People, the spot 'Same Difference' tells the story of four American families, from all different backgrounds, going through their morning routines.

The families live in different parts of the country, speak different languages but as they go through a typical, chaotic morning, you see that despite their differences they are incredibly similar.

The Atlas is VW’s bigger SUV, engineered to give people more usable space. While other competitors check the box for seven seats, the Atlas is designed to maximize space for passengers thanks to three rows of seats, with best in class third row legroom and ample storage capacity for all shapes, sizes, and ages to enjoy.

The spot ends with the line, “There’s Room For Everyone,” highlighting the notion that just like the country it was designed for, there’s enough room for everyone in the Atlas.
