Curious about the difference between the Volkswagen Atlas vs. Atlas Cross Sport? You’re not alone! Many drivers from the Chula Vista and La Mesa area have this same question when they’re shopping our showroom. In short, the Atlas Cross Sport is a smaller version of the Atlas, so it also has a lower starting price. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or your busy family, Kearny Mesa Volkswagen can help you determine whether the Atlas or Atlas Cross Sport should go home with you! Check out the chart above for an overview, and compare them in detail, below.
The heart of the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport is the same: a 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine with 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. You will also be able to tow up to 2,000 pounds with either model! Front-wheel drive is the standard drivetrain on both vehicles, but you can upgrade to 4MOTION® all-wheel drive with either option. Additionally, both the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport earn a FWD fuel economy of 21 MPG city/25 MPG highway.
There isn’t a huge price disparity between the Volkswagen Atlas vs. Atlas Cross Sport, and that’s because their interior features are largely the same. Choose either version and you will get a Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, heated front seats, leatherette seating surfaces, and more to make your Encinitas drives more enjoyable.
If the features and performance of the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport are the same, why is the Atlas Cross Sport more affordable? The reason for the lower entry price is because the Atlas Cross Sport is a smaller vehicle than the Atlas. The standard VW Atlas interior offers 7-person seating, while the Atlas Cross Sport interior has 5-person seating. The larger Atlas also provides a larger cargo area; compare the Atlas vs. Atlas Cross Sport dimensions for more information:
