Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryUnless buyers want a luxury model, the herd of midsize two-row crossovers is thinning as buyers gravitate to three-rows. Like the Mazda CX-70 and Honda Passport, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is a two-row version of a more popular three-row crossover. However, its lowered roof and unique tail make it feel like a distinctive standalone model akin to the Nissan Murano or Chevrolet Blazer. Last refreshed for the 2024 model year, the Atlas Cross Sport is essentially unchanged for 2026 ahead of the arrival of a redesigned model for 2027. Verdict: The Atlas Cross Sport is a great value and well made, even if it's not enjoyable to drive. | |
