Finding your next SUV is easy, thanks to Volkswagen’s fantastic 2020 lineup. But which one is better for your family and lifestyle: the Atlas or the Atlas Cross Sport? Here are a few of their key differences:

Interior Space

The biggest difference between the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas and the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is their sizes. The Atlas is a three-row SUV that seats seven passengers and the Atlas Cross Sport is a two-row five-seater.

Here is a good way to remember which is which: the Cross Sport is more like a crossover. The 2020 Atlas Cross Sport is the first of its kind, giving SUV drivers another great option to choose from.

Power

The 2020 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport come with the same engine options: a 235-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 258 pound-feet of torque or a 3.6-liter V-6 that produces 276 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Both have the option to upgrade to a 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. Though the differences between the two models may be different come the 2021 model year, the 2020 models are fairly identical when it comes to capability.

As you can see, the biggest decision you must make when deciding between these two models is how much cargo and passenger space you want for your travels.
