2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport

The 2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport has five trims. The SE features 18-inch alloy wheels, while the SE with Technology and SEL sport 20-inch alloys. The SEL R-Line Black and SEL Premium R-Line boast 21-inch two-tone machined alloy wheels. LED lighting, including headlights, daytime running lights, and taillights, comes standard across the range. Roof rails vary by trim, with a silver finish on the SE and SE with Technology, black on the SEL R-Line Black, and chrome on the SEL and SEL Premium R-Line. The SEL and above include an illuminated light bar in the grille and a power tilting/sliding panoramic sunroof. The R-Line trims enhance sportiness with their special bumpers and side skirts.

All 2025 Atlas Cross Sport trims feature a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 269 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth shifts and optimal power delivery. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while the all-weather 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system is available across the lineup. When properly equipped, the Atlas Cross Sport can tow 5,000 pounds.

The Atlas Cross Sport accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds. Drive mode selection offers normal for balanced everyday performance, sport for enhanced throttle response and steering, eco for maximized fuel efficiency, and individual for personalized settings. Models with 4MOTION gain additional off-road and snow modes, optimizing traction control and power delivery for unpaved surfaces and winter conditions. The 5,000-pound towing capacity pulls boats, trailers, and recreational equipment.

The 15-inch center touchscreen is the focal point, featuring an intuitive user interface, high-resolution graphics, customizable layouts, and voice control capabilities. The SEL trims and above receive a 12.3-inch Digital Cockpit Pro with customizable displays and driver information features. All models include Climatronic dual-zone automatic climate control and App-Connect with wireless charging and smartphone integration. The SEL and above add leather seating surfaces and ambient lighting with 30 atmosphere-enhancing color choices. While heated front seats come standard, the SEL Premium R-Line exclusively adds ventilation. The cabin accommodates five passengers and, with the rear seats folded, 77.6 cubic feet of cargo space.

The IQ.DRIVE suite equips every Atlas Cross Sport with vital safety technology. Active blind-spot monitoring alerts you to vehicles in blind spots and provides steering assistance to avoid collisions. Forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking warns of potential frontal collisions and can apply the brakes. Lane assist helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane, and emergency assist stops it if you become unresponsive. The SE with Technology and higher add adaptive cruise control with stop & go, which maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic. The SEL Premium R-Line includes an area view 360-degree camera system, which provides a bird's-eye view of the vehicle's surroundings for easier parking and maneuvering. Park distance control, which uses sensors to alert you of nearby obstacles when parking, comes standard on the SEL trim and above. The Car-Net Safe & Secure Plan provides five years of services, including automatic crash notification, emergency assistance, and stolen vehicle locator.
