Volkswagen unveils the 2027 Atlas Cross Sport, its two-row version of the Atlas line, featuring a refreshed exterior and interior design. Car and Driver and Jalopnik both describe the update as an evolution of what drivers already expect from the model, aligning the Cross Sport with the recently redesigned Atlas.
Under the hood, the 2027 Cross Sport keeps the same basic powertrain approach: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is the only engine option. Car and Driver reports notable tuning changes, including a power increase of 13 horsepower and improvements to fuel economy. Jalopnik focuses more on the overall appeal and the predictability of the redesign rather than detailing powertrain specifications. Together, the coverage portrays the 2027 model as a refinement—new styling and calibrations—rather than a major departure from the previous generation.
