Both models offer spacious interiors, advanced features, and strong performance that make them perfect for families and adventurers around Sioux City, IA. Let's take a closer look at what sets these capable SUVs apart.
Volkswagen Atlas
Performance and Drivability
The Volkswagen Atlas provides a versatile driving experience with two engine options: a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four delivering 235 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, and an available 3.6-liter V6 with 276 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifts. The Atlas also offers the 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive system, enhancing traction and stability. With selectable driving modes—Eco, Normal, Sport, and Custom—you can tailor performance to your preferences. The Atlas handles well for its size, offering a composed ride with minimal body roll and a suspension system that absorbs bumps effectively.
Interior and Exterior Design
The Volkswagen Atlas features a bold exterior with a wide grille, LED headlights, and available 20-inch alloy wheels. Its spacious three-row interior can comfortably seat up to seven passengers, with ample legroom in all rows. The second and third rows fold flat, expanding cargo space to 96.8 cubic feet. Inside, the Atlas uses high-quality materials, including available leather upholstery, with a design that prioritizes functionality. A panoramic sunroof and features like heated and ventilated front seats add to the comfort. The Atlas offers a practical yet refined interior and a striking exterior that emphasizes its versatility on the roads of Le Mars.
Technology
The Atlas is equipped with a comprehensive suite of technology. The standard infotainment system includes a 6.5-inch touchscreen, with most trims featuring an 8.0-inch display with the MIB3 interface, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Safety features include Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE advanced driver assistance technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping System, and Front Assist. The available Area View Camera system offers a 360-degree view, making parking around Norfolk easier and safer.
Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
Performance and Drivability
The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport shares its engine options with the Atlas—a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four and a 3.6-liter V6. However, the Cross Sport offers a more agile driving experience due to its shorter length and lower roofline, enhancing its sporty feel. The 8.0-speed automatic transmission complements the vehicle's dynamic character, while the 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system ensures stability in various conditions. The Atlas Cross Sport’s lower center of gravity improves handling, making it more responsive and nimble around Vermillion, with a suspension that balances comfort and sportiness.
Interior and Exterior Design
The Atlas Cross Sport boasts a more aggressive design, with a raked roofline and a bold front fascia featuring a three-bar chrome grille. The two-row interior comfortably seats five passengers, with ample space and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat that expands cargo capacity to 77.8 cubic feet. The cabin features high-quality materials and a driver-focused layout, with available leather upholstery and a panoramic sunroof. The design emphasizes a sporty, modern aesthetic while maintaining practicality.
Technology
The Atlas Cross Sport includes the latest in Volkswagen technology, with a standard 6.5-inch touchscreen and the MIB3 system on higher trims, supporting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth® connectivity. The available 12-speaker Fender Premium Audio System enhances the in-car experience.
