The 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport

Under the hood of every 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is a refined 2.0L TSI® turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This powertrain produces a rewarding 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, delivering a zippy off-the-line experience that makes merging onto Interstate 43 easier than ever. Every model features a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission designed to optimize fuel efficiency during your Milwaukee commute.

For those prioritizing all-weather capability, the available 4MOTION® with Active Control all-wheel-drive system is a necessity for Wisconsin snow. This system allow you to toggle between driving modes, including a dedicated Off-road mode for adventurous excursions. Additionally, the Atlas Cross Sport is highly capable for active lifestyles, offering a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

The interior of the 2026 Atlas Cross Sport is designed around passenger functionality and sophisticated comfort. It features a spacious two-row cabin that accommodates five passengers with ease, offering a generous 40.4 inches of rear-seat legroom so even taller passengers can enjoy the ride. Utility is a standout feature; this SUV provides up to 77.6 cubic feet of total cargo space with the rear seats folded flat, making it practical for everything from gear-heavy road trips to grocery runs.

Premium materials are used throughout the cabin to elevate the everyday driving experience.

To ensure a comfortable temperature year-round, standard features include Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control and heated and ventilated front seats for those warm Milwaukee summers.

The 2026 Atlas Cross Sport continues its legacy with a sharp exterior that emphasizes its athletic identity and improved aerodynamics. The front fascia is striking, featuring a redesigned grille with standard LED projector headlights and an available integrated light bar that connects the headlights for a distinctive high-tech signature. The sleek, coupe-like roofline sets it apart from larger SUVs, offering a more aggressive stance on the roads of Glendale.

At the rear, the VW stands out with standard LED taillights and an available illuminated rear logo. Depending on the trim level, the car can be equipped with various wheel designs, ranging from standard 18-inch alloy wheels to aggressive 21-inch alloy wheels on the SEL Premium R-Line for a sportier stance.
