At Neil Huffman Volkswagen, we are always glad to help our customers find the vehicle that best fits their needs, whether they are looking for a used sedan under $15,000 or a new SUV at a great price.
Making the right choice, however, can sometimes be difficult, as there can often be a number of factors influencing the choice of one vehicle over the other.
This year, we have helped many customers choose between two of the most highly-anticipated SUVs released this year: the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas and the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.
Two great options, but the difference between these two SUVs go beyond the addition of the name “Cross Sport.” There is certainly more to it than the name, as you will see below.
Which Car Is Right for You?
Before going into the precise details, here is the main difference that you should be aware of: The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas is larger, and is fit to play the role of a family-size SUV, boasting three rows.
The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, on the other hand, is a mid-size SUV with two rows, and so will appeal to drivers who want a safe and high-performing SUV without the extra size.
Fold the seats down of the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas, and you get 96 cubic feet of space for storage. Fold the seats down of the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, and you get 77 cubic feet, which is certainly enough space for a long-distance trip.
The differences do not just stop at the lifestyle of the driver, as there are other key things to consider.
The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport has the edge in fuel economy, no doubt due to its smaller size, getting 20 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas gets 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway.
However, there are still plenty of similarities between the two: 18-inch wheels, smart windshield wipers that can detect rain, and an infotainment system boasting seamless Bluetooth audio streaming and two charging ports for phones, are just a few of the similarities.
As far as performance goes, both vehicles have a 2L 4-cylinder turbo engine that reaches 235 horsepower and 258 lb/ft torque. On higher trim levels, you can get a 3.6L V6 engine that hits a stellar 276 horsepower and 266 lb/ft torque.
Overall, both the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas and the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport are great vehicles for anyone looking for a great SUV.
We recommend that buyers looking for a bigger, roomier vehicle, better fit for families, to spring for the former, and that buyers looking for something more compact and sportier to go for the latter.
Either way, you will be making a great choice at Neil Huffman Volkswagen!
