Updated modern looks, refreshed and refined interior amenities, added standard goodies and a one-size-fits-all motor defines the specifications of 2024 Volkswagen<\/a>\u2019s biggest SUVs, the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport.<\/a><\/p>\n

Just-announced pricing for the Atlas<\/a> will start at $37,725 MSRP, with a $1,350 destination charge bringing it to $39,075. The 2024 Atlas Cross Sport<\/a> opens at $38,065 including destination. The top-of-the-line Atlas SEL Premium R-Line models are priced at $53,805 with destination, while the Atlas Cross Sport SEL Premium R-Line is set at $52,795.<\/p>\n

Considering the upgrades, one would expect that those prices have increased. And they have: The Atlas will start at $1,270 more than the 2023 model, And the Cross Sport base price is up $960. The destination fee will be up $55.<\/p>\n

The three-row Atlas, now in its seventh year, was followed in 2020 by Cross Sport, so it\u2019s about time for some refreshment.<\/p>\n

One notable maneuver this time around by Volkswagen is a change under the hood. While the outgoing models were available with either a 235-hp turbo four<\/a> or a 276-hp 3.6-liter V-6<\/a>, the 2024 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport can be had with only one engine: a new 269-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four. Front-wheel drive is still standard, and all-wheel drive is optional.<\/p>\n

The interiors of both SUVs received the lion\u2019s share of attention from VW<\/a>\u2019s designers. The dash and center console are wrapped in faux leather, and trim that flows into the dash panel. A new ambient lighting system is optional. The infotainment system features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and all Atlases feature a wireless smartphone charging pad and at least six fast-charging USB-C ports.<\/p>\n

Cockpit-wise, the new models now give occupants a heated steering wheel with shift paddles, ventilated front seats and a height-adjustable passenger seat as standard equipment. Top-of-range models feature quilted leather seats with a diamond stitching pattern.<\/p>\n

Introduced only a few weeks ago at the New York Auto Show<\/a> was the all-wheel-drive Atlas Peak Edition,<\/a> what we called an \u201cexercise in mobile design accoutrements.\u201d Due for launch this summer, the Peak, priced at $50,435 ($51,785 including destination), is dressed up with 18-inch black alloy wheels with all-terrain tires<\/a>; silver underbody cladding; black roof rails; blackout exterior detailing; Peak Edition badging; unique interior color<\/a> and decor; leatherette seating surfaces; and stainless steel pedal caps.<\/p>\n

The Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport are expected to begin hitting U.S. dealers<\/a> in quarter three of 2023. A list of trims and specifications is available here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
