What to Know About the 2025 Volkswagen Atlas & Atlas Cross Sport
The Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport are two midsize SUVs from Volkswagen of Old Saybrook that can dominate the road or the trail. The Volkswagen Atlas is a three-row model that can accommodate up to seven passengers, while the Atlas Cross Sport removes the third row and increases the ground clearance for better off-road travel. These crossovers can meet any driver's needs, so if you want to learn more about these models, continue reading or shop at our Volkswagen dealership near Guilford, CT, and Middletown today.
2025 Volkswagen Atlas
The 2025 Volkswagen Atlas was completely refreshed last year, and there are a few additional changes for the new model year, including a few more standard features. On the exterior, the new look includes:
- A redesign of the front fascia
- A new set of headlights
- New wheel designs, with the R-Line getting 21-inch wheels
All models will get the new and improved 12-inch infotainment screen with a voice assistant powered by artificial intelligence, and a wireless charging pad for smartphones is now standard on all models.
Performance
The 2025 Atlas has a single engine option for simplicity, offering the standard 269-horsepower, turbocharged inline-four engine with an eight-speed transmission and front-wheel drive. You can opt for all-wheel drive for added handling, traction, and grip. Every 2025 VW Atlas can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
While the Atlas's fuel economy isn't groundbreaking for its class, it is better than average. The four-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive is the most efficient setup, as it gets an estimated 20/27 miles per gallon. Opting for all-wheel drive will drop the fuel economy to 19/26 miles per gallon.
Technology & Safety
No matter which Atlas trim you choose, you'll be treated to plenty of great tech. The touchscreen interface is intuitive and very responsive. Standard technology features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, a six-speaker sound system, wireless charging, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and two USB ports.
To keep you safe on your journeys around East Haven and Waterford, CT, the Atlas comes with advanced standard and optional driver-assistance technology. Forward collision mitigation and a blind-spot monitor are standard, while higher trims see adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera installed.
2025 Volkswagen Atlas CrossSport
The newest VW Atlas Cross Sport is also still fresh from a major refresh, including a redesigned front and rear end with updated headlights and taillights. Inside, the cabin is enhanced with more upscale materials, and a long list of features to improve comfort are now standard across the board. A new trim joins the lineup this year called the SEL-R Blackline, which is essentially a blacked-out version of the high-end sporty model if you like the stealthy look. Every Atlas Cross Sport owner will enjoy the luxuries of heated & ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and adjustable ambient lighting.
Performance
Under the hood, every Atlas Cross Sport, regardless of trim, is powered by an improved 2.0-liter inline-four that pumps out 269 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Like the three-row Atlas, the Atlas Cross Sport can tow up to 5,000 pounds. With an eight-speed automatic transmission and two drivetrain options, the Atlas Cross Sport is rated for 20/27 mpg with front-wheel drive or 19/26 mpg with all-wheel drive.
Technology & Safety
All Atlas Cross Sports have a 10.3-inch configurable instrument display and a 12.0-inch touchscreen display for a modern cabin experience. Standard technology features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration and optional navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. Keeping devices charged and ready is a breeze, with no less than six available USB-C ports, fast-charging capabilities, and an eight-port option, which makes it a desirable upgrade.
No matter where you go, be it on or off-road, the Atlas Cross Sport will keep you safe. All Atlas Cross Sports come with automated emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring. But if you want more advanced driver-assistance features, like lane-keeping assist or a surround-view camera, you'll have to go with one of the higher trims.
