Compared with the 2027 Volkswagen Atlas 7-seater, the Cross Sport is 5.4 inches shorter at 195.6 in overall, thanks to the dramatically raked coupe-like rear pillars. It is also 2.1 inches lower.
The engine in the Atlas Cross Sport is the most powerful ever fitted to the model. The latest evo5 version of the EA888 turbocharged and direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder TSI powerplant is essentially an all-new engine employing a variable geometry turbocharger. It now makes 282 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque yet is anticipated to provide better fuel economy despite a 13-hp bump in output over the previous engine.
This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual shifting. Front-wheel drive is standard, and Volkswagen’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system is available across the lineup. A hybrid variant is planned to arrive with the midcycle refresh. Towing capacity remains at 5,000 pounds for models with a factory-installed trailer hitch.
Further details, specifications, and pricing will be announced prior to launch in early 2027.
Since the beginning, the Atlas Cross Sport has been proudly assembled alongside the Atlas 7-seater at Volkswagen’s factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where about 4,000 people are employed. The Atlas family is hugely important to Volkswagen’s lineup and currently comprise around a third of Volkswagen’s U.S. sales.
