However, the Cross Sport actually improves on the Atlas’s fine second-row legroom by adding 2.8 inches to it.Ĭonsumer Guide tested a Cross Sport SEL with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and 4MOTION all-wheel drive, a vehicle that starts at $42,465 with delivery. Not surprisingly, then, the Atlas Cross Sport takes a hit in headroom and cargo capacity (at a maximum 77.8 cubic feet of stuff-toting space, it trails “big brother” by 19 cubic feet in that respect). It’s also 2.3 inches lower, with a sloping rear roofline for a sportier look. While both types of Atlas have the same wheelbase, the Cross Sport is 5.2 inches shorter in total length. The 2020 Cross Sport expands the Atlas line, which bowed in 2018 in a 3-row style that is one of the largest vehicles VW has ever sold in the U.S. Similar to the strategy Honda followed in creating the two-row Passport from the three-row Honda Pilot, Volkswagen has created the Atlas Cross Sport by shortening its Atlas SUV and giving it a sporty, sloping rear roofline. Volkswagen is courting them with a new, more rakish 2-row midsize SUV, the Atlas Cross Sport. Not everyone in that vast pool of shoppers is out for maximum practicality. In an automotive world in which it at least seems like everybody is buying crossovers or sport-utility vehicles, expect there to be some variety in consumer tastes.
