History
Volkswagen unveiled the Atlas in 2016 in California, aiming at the family SUV segment with its large three-row layout and spaciousness. The Cross Sport variant was introduced in 2020 to cater to buyers seeking a sportier look and a two-row interior, thereby shortening the overall length. A significant update arrived in 2024, removing the VR6 engine in favor of a sole 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine and adding a 12-inch central touchscreen along with a modernized interior design. The 2027 model advances these developments further with a fully redesigned cabin and a modernized exterior, marking a clear new phase in the Atlas Cross Sport’s lifecycle.
