VW Atlas Cross Sport Capability: Specs and Towing Capacity

When equipped with its V6 engine, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, which is enough to carry a couple of ATVs out to the trail this weekend. How does it manage such a high towing capacity for its class? It’s all about the powerful engine specs:

Both powertrains offer smooth shifts and optimized performance with their 8-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® and Sport mode. They also make 4MOTION® with Active Control all-wheel drive (AWD) available.

4MOTION® with Active Control AWD is a smart all-wheel drive system that actively monitors your roadway conditions. By automatically adjusting the torque distribution between all four wheels as needed, it improves the traction control and handling capability of your VW Atlas Cross Sport.

Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Interior

When it’s vacation time, you can trust that the VW Atlas Cross Sport’s interior has all the room you need for the whole family. Check out its interior dimensions below:

• Seating capacity: 5
• Passenger volume: 112 cubic feet
• Headroom (front/rear): 39.4/37.8 inches
• Legroom (front/rear): 41.6/40.4 inches
• Cargo volume (behind first/second row): 40.3/77.8 cubic feet

With 40.3 cubic feet of trunk space, you can really pack heavily as you head to the airport, even with all five seats filled with passengers.

Not only that, but you’ll stay entertained for the whole drive, thanks to the infotainment system. With available Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, you can play audio books for the kids or stream your favorite internet radio station through your car’s speakers. You’ll also be able to safely access your favorite smartphone apps through the available 8-inch touchscreen display in the center stack.

VW Atlas Cross Sport Safety Technology

If you’re using your VW Atlas Cross Sport to carpool to the baseball field, school, or dance class, then you’re carrying precious cargo—and you want to keep it safe the whole way. This Volkswagen SUV helps you out by making several smart safety systems standard, like:

• Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking
• Pedestrian Monitoring
• Blind Spot Monitor
• Rear Traffic Alert

Other systems are available, too, like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). This system helps you out on the highway by letting you set a preferred cruise control speed and following distance. If you encounter slower-moving cars on the highway, ACC will automatically adjust your cruise control speed to go with the flow of traffic and maintain a safe following distance.
