Once again, Volkswagen has engineered a brilliant lineup of new vehicles, specifically the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport. These SUVs were built for optimal performances, all while providing exceptional comfort and safety features. If you’re interested in both of these vehicles, but not sure of how they differ, our Volkswagen dealership in Peoria can help you see how they compare.
VW Atlas
The VW Atlas starts off strong with a new turbocharged engine, with 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. In addition, it has 5,000-lb towing capacity, perfect for hauling heavy items when needed. Stay in control of your all-wheel-drive modes with the available 4MOTION® right at the center touchscreen display.
The body style of the Atlas is sleek, with an available sunroof and alloy all-season wheels. The interior is built for relaxation with available heated and ventilated front seats, three-zone automatic climate control, and available V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces.
Feel confident when you drive with a wide array of safety features including a wide lens rear-view camera, so you can have a better view of what’s behind you while in reverse. In the event of an accident where airbags deploy, the Intelligent Crash Response System kicks in, unlocking doors, turning off the fuel pump, and activating hazard lights. In other words, this SUV was built to get you where you need to be, smoothly and comfortably.
VW Atlas Cross Sport
The VW Atlas Cross Sport is very similar to the VW Atlas, as it’s equipped with the same turbocharged engine setup, available 4MOTION®, and many of the same great safety features. However, the Atlas Cross Sport does differ in space, with five-passenger seating, compared to the Atlas with seven seats available. Additionally, it’s more compact with a cargo capacity of 77.6 cu ft with the rear seats folded down, while the Atlas has 96.6 cu ft when rear seats are down. Externally, the Atlas Cross Sport has a sportier finish, go figure, which may be more appealing to some buyers.
