Now in its third year of evolution, the Atlas Cross Sport is becoming very popular in Canada. It has a very pleasing style, outstanding powertrain options, standard Tiptronic 4MOTION AWD, and safety and convenience tech to suit many tastes.
The Atlas Cross Sport is also a tough competitor. Here, we compare it to the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe.
The 2022 Atlas Cross Sport outputs more
The Cross Sport is not designed to be ordinary under the hood. Volkswagen knows your lifestyle can take you many places, from weekend adventures to outings with friends and family, so this model bumps up the horsepower.
All Atlas Cross Sport trims offer a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder that outputs 235 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. And if that's not enough, most trims offer the option of a 3.6 L that boosts horsepower to 276 and torque to 266 lb-ft. Both are paired to a state-of-the-art 8-speed automatic transmission.
The Santa Fe offers one type of powertrain per trim, so drivers have to upgrade entire models to gain access to their preferred powertrain. Some trims include a 2.5L four-cylinder that peaks at 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. With a load of cargo and friends or family, that could become a challenge. The Santa Fe also has a turbo that actually outputs slightly more horsepower than the Cross Sport's V6, but it is only available in two trims, including the top grade.
The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is roomier
Inside, the Atlas Cross Sport features a roomy cabin with comfortable appointments and technology. Standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth connectivity help you communicate and entertain safely, and a suite of driver assistance features add a peace of mind wherever you go this season.
The Cross Sport is also versatile and full of volume for cargo and passengers. Put the rear seats down for over 2,200 litres of cargo capacity. The Santa Fe is more compact in the same configuration, offering a reduced 2,041 litres. Extra space in the in the Cross Sport provides an open environment that makes trips more relaxing.
