2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
A two-row midsize SUV with a sloping roofline, a 269-hp turbocharged engine, and room for five with 77.6 cu ft of cargo space behind the front seats.4
The Atlas, reshaped for five
The Atlas Cross Sport takes the platform of Volkswagen's three-row Atlas and gives it two rows, a lower coupe-style roofline, and a more athletic stance. What you get is a midsize SUV with a genuinely roomy rear seat, a large cargo area, and styling that stands apart in a Georgetown parking lot.
Every 2026 Atlas Cross Sport uses the same 2.0L turbocharged engine and 8-speed automatic, and every trim includes IQ.DRIVE® driver assistance.3 Five trims let you choose how far you go on comfort, technology, and style, from the SE through the SEL Premium R-Line.
Named a 2026 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK.6 Available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive, standard on SEL trims and above.

Turbo response for Texas highways
The 2.0L TSI® four-cylinder makes 269 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, so merging onto I-35 or passing on SH-130 takes little effort. An 8-speed automatic with Tiptronic® manual shifting keeps the engine in its sweet spot.
Front-wheel drive is standard on SE and SE with Technology. 4MOTION® all-wheel drive is available on those trims and standard from SEL up, sending power where traction is best in rain or on loose surfaces.
Two rows, plenty of room
Dropping the third row frees up generous legroom for rear passengers and a deep cargo floor behind them. Fold the rear seat and the space grows to 77.6 cu ft, enough for sports gear, camping equipment, or a weekend Home Depot run.4
Higher trims add leather seating surfaces, a panoramic sunroof, heated rear seats, and customizable ambient lighting.
Tech that stays out of your way
A digital instrument display and a large center touchscreen put navigation, media, and vehicle settings in easy reach. Wireless App-Connect links compatible phones without a cable, and a wireless charging pad keeps them topped up.7
The myVW app adds connected services such as remote lock and unlock and last parked location, and remote start on equipped trims.10
IQ.DRIVE® on every trim
IQ.DRIVE® combines several driver assistance systems into one suite. Travel Assist can help with steering, braking, and acceleration on the highway, working with Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Assist. You remain responsible for driving at all times.3
The SEL Premium R-Line adds Area View and Park Assist to make tight parking spots in downtown Austin or Round Rock easier.3
