2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Priced from $30,545, 8 Trims Levels on Deck

The newest entry in the VW SUV lineup for the States will retail starting from $30,545 for the S variant, on top of which a destination fee of $1,020 would be added. There are in all eight trim levels available for the Cross Sport (S, SE, SE with Technology, SE with Technology R-Line, SEL, SEL R-Line, SEL Premium, SEL Premium R-Line), and the most expensive of them will set customers back at least $48,095.

Only two engine choices are available across the board, a four-cylinder unit and a V6, both mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and optionally to the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. The entry-level churns out 235 hp, while the more potent powerplant is good for 276 hp.

In its top configuration – when a special available package is equipped - the Atlas Cross Sport has been rated at 5,000 pounds of towing.

Visually, the Cross Sport looks a lot like the concept car that preceded it and was shown at the 2018 New York International Auto Show. Coming to the world as a more coupe-ish SUV when compared to the existing Atlas, the five-seater is 2.8 inches shorter and sits 2.3 inches lower.

The car provides more than enough room for all the people it can carry, with a total of 111.8 cubic feet of passenger space available. Luggage space is aplenty as well, with 40.3 cu ft available behind the second-row seats and 77.8 cu ft with the second row folded.

Depending on the version, the Cross Sport will ship with the Car-Net suite (allows smartphone control over some of the car’s systems), the VW digital cockpit and the Fender audio system with 12 speakers.

The new SUV is being built at the Chattanooga, Tennessee facility and should be on the road by the end of spring. Full details on price list and equipment can be found in the press release section below.
