  • For the latest Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport pricing and information:
    www.kbb.com/vo...
    If you stopped the video right now “5-seat Atlas” would give you an essential understanding of the Cross Sport. By ditching the Atlas’s 3rd row, the Cross Sport loses 5.2 inches of overall length while retaining the same 117.3-inch wheelbase. What’s left is super spacious. Cargo space is a stellar 40.3 cubic feet aft of the second row and 77.8 cu.-ft. with the seats folded. For a 2-row midsize SUV, that’s stellar.
    Another bragging point is the rear-seat legroom. With the front seat placed for me, the ultimate average human, I fit behind myself with room to spare.
    Incidentally, VW is hugely proud that the Atlas has 11 cupholders. To me, 11 cupholders for 5 occupants feels like an unhealthy ratio but reach your own conlusion.
    Material quality on our ornate SEL Premium R-Line subject is lovely up high. Though the lower you poke the harder the surface and the presence of actual stitching draws attention to the fake stitching embossed on the dash. Nonetheless, our car’s dark burgundy and black leather add a swanky touch to the commendably comfortable and supportive seats.
    For the pilot in command, visibility is slightly inhibited but workable. One thing we’ve noticed driving the Atlas is its lively handling. Thankfully that quality has carried over to the Cross Sport.
    Compared to the larger Atlas the Cross Sport steers with a livelier feel.
    As is now common, you can also activate Sport Mode for more emotive steering, throttle and transmission behaviors. There’s also an eco mode that we’ll just ignore along with off-road and snow modes. As for ride compliance, the Cross Sport dulls road imperfections with grace while shielding occupants in a serene cabin.
    For engine choices you’ve got a base 2-liter 4-cylinder (235hp, 258 lb-ft) that other Blue Book testers have described as “course sounding but sprightly”. Good use of the word “sprightly”, team! There’s also a 3.6L V6 (276hp, 266 lb-ft) reserved for higher trims. With either engine all-wheel drive costs $1,900. Chose the V6 and you can tow up to 5,000 lbs. Fuel economy is underwhelming for the segment, peaking at 21city/24hwy with the front-drive 2.0L and dropping to 16city/22hwy in the all-wheel drive V6. Our tester is the V6 and while it pulls with reasonable enthusiasm when asked, the 8-speed automatic behaves displeasingly at a standard pace.
    Off the line, the transmission holds onto to 2nd too long and its shifts are hardly transparent.
    Another area of scrutiny is the price. With blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and a 6.5-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a base Cross Sport S trim costs less than $32,000 including destination charges. Luxuriate in Cross Sport options like keyless access, 21-inch wheels, a foot-activated liftgate, plus a 360-degree camera system offering a vast array of useful views shown on an 8-inch infotainment display, and you can spec an SEL Premium R-Line, like this exact model, to more than $51k; a sum unachievable by many of its competitors. I’ll also note that VW’s 6-year warranty has been ditched for 2020. It’s now a 4-year 50k warranty plus 2 years of free maintenance.
    So, the powertrain could use some refining, it’s not particularly efficient, and a lack of buying restraint summons eye-popping MSRPs. But the Atlas Cross Sport is also roomy, rides nice, and wraps its buyer in a distinct style.
    If you like the Volkswagen Atlas but abhor the notion of traveling with more than 4 friends, the Cross Sport is your slightly coupier alternative. And now, everyone simultaneously shout how you feel about Cross Sport’s styling.

    Have had a ‘21 V6 SELP Cross sport for a month. The only place the hard plastics matters or is noticeable is where your knee hits the console. Consistently Getting 21 mpg mixed.18-19 city and 24-25 hwy. Given the fact it’s closer in size to a full size than a mid size SUV that’s not bad. Have driven on 2,4 and 6 lane hwy in traffic and power isn’t an issue. Tech works great and is easy to use. was a big reason I bought it. It’s a handsome SUV that’s very usable.

    Not my favorite among the midsize crossovers. But for those who (a) neither need nor want a third row; (b) want the relatively large cargo space (both total and behind the second row) in the Cross Sport compared to other midsize 2 row SUV's; and prefer the coupe like styling of the Cross Sport compared to the Atlas, it may be an appealing choice. A point to keep in mind is that the Cross Sport is an especially large 2 row SUV. While its competitors range from about 188" to 192", the Cross Sport comes in a 195.5". That puts it in the category of 3 row rivals that range from 195" to 203".

    @stephenhendricks103 4 года назад +6

    VW has received a considerable amount of criticism for the reduction of their bumper-to-bumper warranty from 6 years to 4 years in their current models. So purely from a PR perspective it was a mistake (imo). On the other hand, from a consumer standpoint the inclusion of two years of standard service/maintenance that's now included it's arguably a considerably better deal. Consider, for example, that only a tiny minority of owners ever redeem a warranty claim in years five and six of a warranty. Not only do all manufacturers require that all service and maintenance requirements be performed on time over the course of ownership, the percentage of owners who experience a warranty covered repair in the fifth and sixth years of ownership is minuscule, well under 2% of owners of any brand. On the other hand, annual maintenance and service runs an average of $300 per year for a VW SUV. That's a $600 savings that virtually every purchaser receives. A rational consumer might well prefer a 100% guarantee of a $600 savings vs the unknown potential of a warranty claim after four years that at least 98% of owners will never receive.

      Not really. Different platform/underpinnings. The Atlas uses a transversely-mounted engine and corresponding drivetrain, while the Q8 uses a longitudinally-mounted engine and a rear-biased AWD system. You will find a lot more expensive materials in the underpinnings of the Q8, like greater use of forged aluminum, etc. But, if you ignore the more expensive construction, higher output engines, and luxury features, sure, same thing.

      You make a good point, but I think there's a difference between good quality and looking luxurious.

VW is better put together despite cheaper materials.

  • @mikeinva8
    @mikeinva8 4 года назад +1

    I test drove this car this past weekend and it handled great very smooth ride and great feel behind the wheel, but there are two major drawbacks that will prevent me from even considering it. First the roof line is way too low when getting into the car, the seat must be put all the way down in order for a 5 foot 10 person to get in without hitting his head and to make things worse Volkswagen did not give the seats easy in easy out activation meaning they do not lower automatically when you turn the car off. So basically you need to adjust the sea every time you get in and out, without re-adjusting the seat, I could not get out of the car and that is also a major safety issue how is this ever passed safety is beyond me. In a SUV I like to ride with the seat high, is that not the point of a SUV. The second issue is with the digital cockpit Display, why they would put eight point type in something you need to see clearly is beyond believe. It is incredibly difficult to read illumination at maximum is barely readable. Two major flaws makes this a no go for me.
