Today I review the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Execline. Unusually for non-luxury SUVs, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport has a sense of style. VW essentially took a standard Atlas, removed the third row of seats, and added a more streamlined roofline.
Although the VW Atlas is a reliable option for increasing families, what if you don’t require quite that much space? The 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is your answer. A two-row vehicle with less seating is the answer. Despite being 5.2 inches shorter in length and 2.3 inches shorter in height, the Atlas Cross Sport’s sleek tapering rear roofline gives the appearance that it is an even smaller SUV.
With the Atlas Cross Sport, Volkswagen succeeded in creating the chiseled mass of an SUV it had set out to create. The Chevrolet Blazer appears overstyled and the Honda Passport a tad silly. There is a contented equilibrium between the two. A midsize crossover SUV with room for up to five passengers is the Atlas Cross Sport. Trendline, Comfortline, Highline, and Execline are the four trim levels that are offered for the vehicle in 2023.
Two engines are offered for the Cross Sport. A 3.6-liter V6 with 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Both vehicles come standard with all-wheel drive and paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
