What is the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport?
The Atlas Cross Sport is a five-seat SUV with a sloping roof, part of Volkswagen’s larger North American SUV range. It has the broad shape of a family vehicle, with two rows of seats and room for passengers and luggage.
The first generation, code CA1, began in 2020. For the 2024 model year, Volkswagen refreshed the styling and cabin and introduced a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine in place of the earlier four-cylinder and VR6 choices.
Engines and power
The petrol range has included 2.0-litre and 3.6-litre engines in the United States and Canada. EU registration figures include a 2.0-litre engine rated at 175 kW (238 PS), a 3.6-litre at 206 kW (280 PS), and a later 2.0-litre at 201 kW (273 PS).
Fuel consumption and where it was sold
The best combined EPA rating is 24 MPG. The lowest listed EPA consumption is 9.8 L/100 km; in Canada, the lowest listed figure is 10.3 L/100 km on the NRCan 5-cycle test. These results use different procedures: EPA and Canada’s 5-cycle tests differ from each other and from Europe’s WLTP and NEDC tests.
The model appears in US EPA figures from 2020 to 2027 and Canadian NRCan figures from 2020 to 2026. EU registration figures cover 2020 to 2024, with 147 registrations across those years.
