With similar names and appearances, it may be easy to confuse the Volkswagen Atlas vs. Atlas Cross Sport. However, each of these vehicles brings something a little different to the Arlington roads, so we’re here with a comparison of the two models. We’ve outlined the most important distinctions – price, engine, and interior – so you can make an informed decision between the two. For more information on these SUVs, check out our inventory for the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport.
Price is usually one of the most important factors when choosing a vehicle to buy. The Volkswagen Cross Sport is a bit smaller than the regular Atlas, but makes up for it with a smaller price tag to match.
Both the Volkswagen and Atlas Cross Sport carry an identical 2.0L Turbocharged I-4 engine with 235 hp. They also have equal towing power, at up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity! If you want, you can upgrade either model to a 3.6L V6 engine.
The major difference in comparing the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas vs Atlas Cross Sport comes in the interior dimensions. The Atlas is a larger vehicle, so it naturally comes with a larger interior space. Check out the full dimensions of both SUVs:
