The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport delivers unparalleled styling and performance. But what also makes it a Canadian favourite is the fact that it takes everything Volkswagen has developed in terms of driving dynamics and integrates it into a spacious, family-friendly SUV.
With advanced technologies and an unbeatable warranty, the Atlas Cross Sport is the perfect balance between versatility and driving dynamics in a stylish package that takes care of your family on the road.
Here, we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport with the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe.
More base performance and standard all-wheel drive in the 2022 Atlas Cross Sport
The Atlas Cross Sport lets you choose between two powerful powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder unit with an output of 235 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The base engine in the Santa Fe is far behind, with only 191 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque.
The second engine choice is VW’s 3.6-litre V6 engine with an output of 276 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque, which is very similar to the Santa Fe’s most powerful engine option.
The Atlas Cross Sport has a very strong advantage with its standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. This is essential to overcome Canada’s harshest winters, but it also gives drivers an edge in terms of handling and driving dynamics. The Santa Fe’s base model doesn’t have standard AWD.
Space, comfort and tech inside the 2022 Atlas Cross Sport
The Atlas Cross Sport keeps your family in mind with plenty of space for passengers and cargo. With 1,141 litres of cargo volume when the cabin is full of passengers and 2,203 litres when the 2nd row is flat, you will never have to leave anything behind with the Cross Sport.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is much more limited in this regard, with only 1,032 litres of space behind the rear seats and 2,041 litres when filled with passengers.
The Atlas Cross Sport goes above and beyond to provide your family with the latest in terms of safety and technologies. It offers the IQ.Drive safety package, Car-Net remote services and the Fender premium audio system, among many other features that surpass anything you will find in the Santa Fe.
