Volkswagen enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to with the arrival of the redesigned 2027 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport. These popular SUVs are receiving comprehensive updates that elevate their performance, design, and technology to compete with the best in the segment. Whether you're looking for a spacious three-row family hauler or a sportier two-row option, the 2027 lineup promises to deliver exciting improvements across the board.
Redesigned Exterior
The 2027 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport embodies a refined athletic profile that emphasizes its sporty character. With a shorter overall length and reduced rear overhang compared to its predecessor, the Atlas Cross Sport delivers a more dynamic appearance while maintaining its distinctive two-row configuration. The steeply raked rear roof pillars and lower roofline continue to set it apart from the three-row Atlas. Drivers in Okemos, MI will appreciate the fresh new color options joining the palette, including Dark Sage Metallic, Blackberry Metallic, and Sandstone, giving buyers more ways to personalize their SUV.
The three-row Atlas maintains its masterful presence on the road with proportions that accommodate families who need maximum passenger capacity. Both models benefit from updated front and rear fascias that bring a contemporary look to the Volkswagen SUV lineup.
Enhanced Performance
Both the VW Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 282 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This represents a significant boost of 13 horsepower over the previous generation, ensuring confident acceleration on highways around Lansing, MI.
An eight-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth, efficient gear changes, while buyers can choose between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive depending on their needs. For those who require towing capability, both the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport can haul up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, making them excellent choices for pulling boats, trailers, or recreational equipment.
Progressive Technology and Connectivity
Inside the cabin, technology takes center stage with a standard 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display, while an available 15.0-inch screen provides even easier viewing. A configurable 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster keeps important information directly in your line of sight, so you can stay focused on the road in East Lansing, MI. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity allow effortless smartphone integration without cables.
The audio experience ranges from a standard nine-speaker stereo to an available premium 14-speaker Harman Kardon system. A new center console-mounted dial controls volume, drive modes, and ambient lighting synchronization, adding an intuitive element to the driving experience. Simultaneous wireless charging for two phones ensures everyone stays connected on longer journeys. A premium subscription service bundles Wi-Fi hotspot capability supporting up to four devices, premium navigation, access to over 30,000 radio stations and one million podcasts.
Comprehensive Safety Features
Volkswagen equips every 2027 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport with its IQ.Drive suite of driver-assistance technologies. Standard features include automated emergency braking with forward-collision warning, lane-centering assist, and blind-spot monitoring. Shoppers in Holt, MI seeking additional assurance can opt for higher trim levels with adaptive cruise control and a head-up display.
Interior Comfort and Cargo Space
Both Atlas models continue to prioritize passenger comfort with spacious seating arrangements. A 12-way adjustable driver's seat comes standard, while upper trims offer massaging front seats and adjustable thigh support for the driver. The Cross Sport accommodates five passengers comfortably, while the three-row Atlas provides seating for seven.
