2020 Volkswagen Atlas and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport LP: Mid-Size SUVs With Room And Packed With Features

The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas is a mid-size SUV with third row seating and large cargo space. Atlas will do everything you need it to do – and more. The Atlas Cross Sport is a smaller, 2-row version for those who don’t need all the seating, but still want interior room and flexible cargo space.

Atlas has three rows of seating, offering a comfortable and roomy ride for up to seven adults, while Atlas Cross Sport has two rows and room for five. Flexible seating options and arrangements in both Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport offer plenty of seating space and room for odd-shaped cargo --with still plenty of elbow room in the back. Wide door openings make for easy access, while big windows and the available panoramic sunroof offer wide open viewing throughout the cabin.

Base Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport SUVs offer cloth upholstery seating, a 6.5-inch touchscreen for infotainment, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, active safety features, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Every Atlas includes automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitors, and rear cross-traffic alerts. Active lane control and adaptive cruise control are also available.

The Atlas SE and Atlas Cross Sport SE add automatic climate control, a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen, more USB ports in the rear seats, and easy-clean synthetic leather upholstery.  The SEL with Premium package includes a digital instrument cluster, heated and cooled front seats, and premium leather upholstery. The Digital Dashboard is customizable, and the settings can be saved for each driver. With up to four driver profiles, Atlas can keep your favorite radio stations, temperature settings, seating position and more.

Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport also offer other conveniences like multiple cupholders in every row, USB ports in each seating row, remote start, three-zone climate control (two-zone in Atlas Cross Sport) and an overhead camera view that lets you to see everything around you. You can also choose between a hands-free or remote-powered liftgate and remote start options, adding luxury and convenience to your SUV choice.

Equipped for non-stop entertainment, your family can ride while rocking out to the optional Fender 450-Watt stereo system or take in a movie on the high-definition monitor. And with Volkswagen Car-Net® App-Connect, you can easily stream and view your favorite movie, podcast or other media.

The Atlas also has 96.8 cubic feet of cargo room (77.8 cubic feet in Atlas Cross Sport), and with the flexible seating options, your family and their stuff can be carried in virtually any configuration needed. Plus, when properly equipped, Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport can tow up to 5,000 lbs. with the 276 horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine.

And, of course, Volkswagen is all about safety. Featuring an NHSTA 5-Star Safety Rating, the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport are packed with safety features. Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport include a rear-view camera system, seven stability-enhancing systems including Electronic Brake Distribution and Electronic Stability Control. They also feature Volkswagen’s exclusive Intelligent Crash Response System®, that stops the fuel flow, unlocks the doors and turns on the hazard lights in case of a crash.

Driver Assist is available with any technology package, adding to driver confidence by providing Blind Spot Monitoring, Light Assist, Lane Assist, Parking Assist and Front Assist, which monitors traffic and alerts you if you get too close to the vehicle in front of you.
