2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Features

With its sleek, coupe-like profile, spacious interior, and generous cargo volume, the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport will appeal to modern families who are after a sporty midsize SUV that’s capable yet affordable. For 2022, VW now sells the Atlas Cross Sport with a standard digital cockpit and simplified the lineup by dropping the S and SE Tech R-Line. In their place, a new SEL R-Line Black model has been introduced, leaving the SE as the entry-level model.

The reshuffling also means buyers now get an 8.0-inch digital gauge display as standard, while Atlas Cross Sport models equipped with both the Technology package and available V6 engine also now come with a trailer hitch receiver. The Atlas Cross Sport SEL now has all-wheel drive and 20-inch wheels as standard, while a new-for-2022 SEL R-Line Black trim differentiates itself from the rest of the lineup with a blacked-out exterior trim and black-painted wheels.
