After a week in a VR6 4Motion, I averaged 20.6 MPG in primarily suburban commuting. At the other end of the ratings is the VR6 4Motion model at 17/23/19 MPG. EPA-estimated fuel economy is best for the 4-cylinder front wheel drive model at 21/24/22 MPG (city/highway/combined).

When the Atlas Cross Sport arrived with a full 19.5-gallon gas tank, it offered up 355 miles of range. Additionally, the sloped roofline and larger C-pillar in the Atlas Cross Sport will create some blind spots, thankfully built-in 360-degree cameras will aid in driving. Visibility will vary depending on the driver, it does have a large front end/hood that may take some getting used to for shorter drivers. Around town, braking and acceleration both felt good. With their good looks, you will sacrifice some smoothness. Standard 18" tires will cushion the road much more than the larger 21" ones that come on the highest trim levels. Do note that the tire size will impact the overall feel of the vehicle. There is minimal body lean in quick turns and it always felt grounded.Īt high speeds on the highway, road noise was minimal and the vehicle was easily controlled. I particularly enjoy driving Volkswagens for their handling and the Atlas Cross Sport did not disappoint.

The ride is firm like many Volkswagens, but absorbs road imperfections well. The 8-speed transmission shifts into appropriate gears with ease and has good acceleration from a standstill. I distinctly recall the three-row Atlas feeling sluggish in acceleration which is not the case in the Cross Sport. Unlike the full-size Atlas, the lighter weight Cross Sport feels appropriately powered, especially in the VR6. Atlas Cross Sport models equipped with the VR6 engine and a factory-installed trailer hitch offer a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs., while all other models with a dealer or port-installed trailer hitch allow a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. With either engine, power is sent through an eight-speed automatic transmission that pairs with either front wheel drive or VW's 4Motion all-wheel drive. SE with Technology and higher trims come with a 3.6-liter VR6 engine that delivers 276 horsepower and 266 lb. Two powertrains are available, the base 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder TSI produces 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and comes standard on S and SE models. Competition includes vehicles like the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Edge, Honda Passport, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Kia Sorento, Nissan Murano, and Toyota 4Runner. Base front-wheel drive S models start at $30,855 while top of the line SEL Premium R-Line models with 4Motion all-wheel drive start at $51,615. Beyond that base, you can add Technology, R-Line, and Premium packages to configure your Atlas Cross Sport. It comes in three primary trims known as S, SE, and SEL.

The Atlas Cross Sport shares the same wheel base as the Atlas, but the overall length is reduced by about 3 inches. With a solid base under its belt, two years later Volkswagen introduced us to the Atlas Cross Sport, a smaller five-passenger version of the same vehicle. When the Volkswagen Atlas arrived for the 2018 model year as VW's new mid-size three-row crossover it was accepted with open arms and received a lot of praise.
