2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Trims Comparison
2020 Atlas Cross Sport trim level differences
The 2020 Atlas Cross Sport is offered in a rather confusing array of trim levels. Essentially there are three main trim levels: S, SE and SEL. In addition to those, VW offers variants with the Technology, Premium and R-Line labels. Engine choices are either a 235-horsepower four-cylinder engine or a 276-hp V6. All-wheel drive (Volkswagen refers to it as 4Motion) is also an option. Feature highlights include:
Which 2020 Atlas Cross Sport trim does Edmunds recommend?
Our choice from the Atlas Cross Sport's significant range would be the SE with Technology. This midlevel trim will get you all of the Cross Sport's desirable features from the lower trim levels and adds on a few desirable extras, such as traffic-adaptive cruise control. Acceleration from the four-cylinder and V6 engines is similar, so there's little reason to pay more to get the V6.
