2 TRIMS ABOUT THE VOLKSWAGEN ATLAS CROSS SPORT
Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport at a glance
The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is the two-row, fastback-styled counterpart to the three-row Atlas. It uses the same broad MQB-based architecture and turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain but trades the third row for a lower roofline and a large rear cargo area. Front-wheel drive is available alongside 4MOTION all-wheel drive. The model suits buyers who value cabin width and road-trip space more than maximum seating capacity, though its size remains closer to a midsize SUV than a compact crossover.
