2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport 2.0T SEL 4Motion

** CLEAN CARFAX * ONE OWNER ** The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is one of the few non-luxury SUVs that has a sense of style. VW basically took a regular Atlas, yanked out the third-row seat and added a sleeker roofline.the Cross Sport is a smart pick if you're looking for a five-seat SUV with ample accommodations. Spacious interior with straightforward cabin design Good combination of athletic handling and everyday comfort Easy-to-use infotainment systemA smaller, more stylish version of the standard Volkswagen Atlas with a raked roofline and unique design touches, the 2022 Atlas Cross Sport is yet another option in VW's expanding crossover SUV lineup. The Cross Sport is shorter in length than its three-row sibling, and it doesn't have quite as much cargo space. But the Cross Sport does set itself apart from the regular Atlas with its emphasis on style. The Cross Sport is a pleasant-driving midsize SUV. Its surprisingly agile handling and accurate steering belie the size of this large people-mover. Our test model had the V6 engine. It's responsive and it seems pretty strong. Braking performance in the Cross Sport, however, is smooth and confident.This is where the Atlas Cross Sport rises above the fold. A perfect step-in height with wide squared-off doors makes climbing in and out effortless. Once inside, you'll be impressed by the roomy interior. Dimensionally, the Honda Passport and Cross Sport are pretty comparable, but the Atlas feels just incrementally roomier despite its slightly coupe-like rear roofline. Upfront, the user interface looks a bit more sophisticated than most of the other class offerings yet remains pretty simple to use. Even the instrument cluster menu is simple to navigate and functionally useful. There's plenty of seat and steering-wheel adjustment range to suit a wide variety of drivers. The view outward is pretty expansive all around. The big side mirrors are good for giving you a clear view back, but their bulky housings can obstruct your vision a little when you need to make a turn. The rear window is a bit smaller than the one in the regular Atlas.The Atlas Cross Sport comes with many advanced driver assist aids. Most work quite well, from the well-tuned adaptive cruise control that can slow to a complete stop to useful front and rear parking sensors. But we found the blind-spot monitoring system overly conservative, warning us of vehicles that were outside the impact zone.
