1. Different Models

The Atlas has been a three-row, family-friendly crossover vehicle, competing well with all of the other crossovers on the market.

The 2020 VW Atlas has a new variant: the Atlas Cross Sport. This vehicle comes with one less seat, a smaller package, and a smaller price tag. It has 2.8 inches less legroom, a new steering wheel, and the option of a snazzy red interior, plus redesigned VW and R logos.

VW designed the Cross to compete with other five-passenger SUVs like Ford Edge and Honda Passport.

The Atlas has five different models within it, each with their own features.

It has safety features like blind-spot m monitoring and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

Unlike the 20-inch wheels of the more pricey Atlases, the S has your basic 18-inch wheels.
