VW Atlas Cross Sport Exterior Review

The Atlas Cross Sport features a bold front end with unique headlamps and a dynamic grill pattern. The Cross Sport has an illuminated exterior light bar with a glowing Volkswagen emblem on the front and rear. It's one of the cooler design elements we've seen in a while. The styling is finished off with roof rails that come in black for Cross Sport SE Trims or silver for Cross Sport SEL trim packages. The Atlas Cross Sport length comes in at 195.5 inches. This is one of the largest Volkswagen SUV models which has a big effect on the available space in the interior.

Atlas vs. Atlas Cross Sport

It may be a little confusing to tell the difference between the Atlas and the Atlas Cross Sport, but there are some key differences. The Atlas is suited for a large family with seven seats. The Atlas Cross Sport is likely to be suited for people who don't need as much space and want the sportier styling of the Cross Sport. The Cross Sport is 5 inches shorter than the Atlas and sits slightly lower with a more sloped back end. The Atlas Cross Sport Price is generally less than the Atlas price.
