2023 Atlas Cross Sport

Big on style

The 2023 Atlas Cross Sport sure knows how to make an entrance. Combining the capability of an SUV with the sleek and sporty lines of a coupe, this bold, showstopping SUVW is in a class all its own.
Two distinct flavours of R-Line styling really complete the look, including the coveted R-Line Black package available on the Highline trim, with brushed stainless steel pedals, a leather-wrapped heated sport steering wheel, and massive 20″ Trenton black alloy wheels. On the Comfortline trim, interior finishes don’t take a back seat either, thanks to standard leatherette seats for maximum comfort and style.
Looks aren’t everything, of course. Fortunately, the Atlas Cross Sport isn’t just big on style. It’s big on space, too. With comfortable seating for up to five adults and more than 2,203L of cargo space with the seats folded down, there’s room for everyone and everything. Whether it’s a weekend at the cottage or a week at the ski slopes, Atlas Cross Sport has more than enough space to keep things comfortable.

Form meets functional SUV

When it comes to capability, the Atlas Cross Sportreally turns heads. The available 3.6L engine provides a full 276 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. Pair that power with the towing receiver and available tow hitch, and Atlas Cross Sport can easily haul up to 5,000 lbs of anything from trailers, to boats, to campers. Chart your course using the customizable and intuitive available Digital Cockpit Pro to make finding your next destination a breeze, and then trust the standard4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive to make sure you get there, no matter the conditions.
Plus now you can tap into cutting-edge convenience, with 4 years of complimentary access to the Car-Net® app, included on Comfortline trims and up*. Take advantage of more than 20 smartphone-enabled ways to connect to your VW. Use remote start to preheat your engine and lock and unlock your doors from virtually anywhere, or open last parked location to find your Atlas Cross Sport, whether you’re in the middle of nowhere or the middle of the mall parking lot. Atlas Cross Sport also features an advanced suite of available safety and driver assistance features**, including Adaptive Cruise Control to make stop-start traffic a breeze, or Area View 360° which offers a bird’s eye view of your Atlas Cross Sport, proving it looks great from any angle. The stunning 2023 Atlas Cross Sport is loaded with intuitive tech both inside and out. The only thing that might take a little getting used to is all the attention you’ll get.
