We haven't tested this specifically on the 2021 VW Atlas but if you want to go with the Thule Motion XT XXL # TH629906 you will need to measure from the center of the front crossbar to the line where the roof and rear cargo hatch meet. The Thule Motion XT XXL # TH629906 requires 55" from the crossbar to the rear hatch, so if you've got that much clearance then the XXL is the way to go. If you've got less than that, the Thule Motion XT XL # TH629806 only requires 51-1/4".
If you find that you've got less spacing than that and can't adjust the front bar forward any more, just let me know how much space you've got and I can locate an acceptable alternative roof box.
