Bold style, premium comfort, and everyday practicality.

We’re talking about the 2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, of course. 

At Carolina Volkswagen in Charlotte, NC, we know you want a vehicle that does more than get you from point A to point B. You want a vehicle that’s comfortable, equipped with all the latest tech and safety features, and has room for the entire family. 

Luckily, the newly refreshed Atlas Cross Sport checks all the boxes with sleek exterior updates, a tech-packed interior, and the versatility you want. Whether you’re navigating I-77, exploring Uptown Charlotte, or heading out to the mountains, the 2025 Atlas Cross Sport stands out with confident performance and head-turning design. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this Volkswagen SUV a standout in its class.

2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Performance

The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine that produces 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive comes standard on SE and SE Technology trims, while the 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive system is optional for these trims and standard on upper trims. When properly equipped, this two-row crossover boasts a max towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. 

Luxury Features 

The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport stands out with generous standard features that elevate every drive. Before you even step inside the vehicle, the proximity keyless entry system offers seamless access. Once inside, the premium feel of V-Tex upholstery provides unmatched comfort, while both the driver and front passenger can enjoy heated and ventilated seats. The heated steering wheel adds an extra touch of luxury, especially on colder days. In addition, the dual-zone automatic climate control allows both the driver and front passenger to set their preferred temperatures.

Beyond these impressive base features, the Atlas Cross Sport offers a wide range of available upgrades. The hands-free liftgate provides added convenience when your hands are full, while the remote start feature allows you to get the engine running and the climate control activated before even stepping inside. The panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with natural light, creating an airy and open atmosphere. With the driver memory function, you can save your preferred seating and mirror positions, ensuring the perfect driving setup every time. 

Rear passengers will appreciate the availability of heated seats, adding to their comfort during colder months. Power-folding mirrors add practicality in tight parking spaces, and the option of leather upholstery provides even more sophistication.

Infotainment and Safety 

The VW Atlas Cross Sport is equipped with a range of user-friendly tech. Standard features include the customizable 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro and a 12-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for effortless smartphone integration. A standard wireless charging pad allows you to keep your devices charged without cable clutter.

Staying focused on the road is paramount, so the Atlas Cross Sport offers extensive driver assistance features. Upper trim levels add a 360-degree camera, automated parking assist, and a head-up display. Regardless of the trim you choose, all models come equipped with VW IQ.DRIVE, a suite of standard technologies:

  • Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning/Autonomous Emergency Braking) with Pedestrian and Cyclist Monitoring
  • Side Assist (Blind-spot monitoring / lane-change system)
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Adaptive Cruise Control with Travel Assist
  • Safe Exit Warning System
  • Lane Assist
  • Emergency Assist (safely stops the vehicle if the driver is unresponsive)
