Here is How to Choose Between the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas and the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport

If you want a large SUV, you have probably noticed both the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas and the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport but you might not know what differentiates the two models since they share their mechanical elements and a part of their styling.

The Atlas prioritizes practicality

The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas benefits from its third row of seats to offer seating for six or seven passengers instead of five in the Atlas Cross Sport. This allows you to easily transport your whole family or all of your friends, but also means you can fold both of the seat rows to make use of a very large loading space that can accommodate up to 2,741 liters of cargo. Even with all of the seats in use, the Atlas has 583 liters of space and you can configure the interior in a large number of ways to be able to carry lots of cargo and multiple passengers at the same time.

The Atlas Cross Sport prioritizes the style

If you want a large SUV that is stylish and dynamic with an appearance that will make it stand out on the road, the Atlas Cross Sport is for you. By adopting a lower roofline and an angled rear glass, the Atlas Cross Sport takes on a look that is similar to coupes. This makes it more distinctive than the Atlas and most of its competition.

Both share the same modern powertrains

No matter which one you choose between the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas and the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, you will benefit from a choice of two refined and powerful drivetrains. The standard engine in both models is a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder that delivers 235 horsepower and 259 ft-lb of torque while the optional engine is a 3.6L V6 that produces 276 horsepower and 266 ft-lb of torque.
