My Cross sport is amazing. It has a ton of space for us , our 2 kids, the 2 dogs and all the stuff that coms with them. We have had it for 6 months so far not one problem. It has some of the coolest tec. and safety features I cant believe we ever lived with out them!!! I will never put my kids in anything else

Purchased in May 2020 and it’s needed a new steering rack, new sway bar links, new AC Schrader valves, 3 air bag modules and a new transmission after two separate leaks all in under 10,000 miles. Other owners have reported very similar issues. Look elsewhere as there are much more reliable vehicles at this price point.

Great vehicle - most reviews online are misleading

I have driven most of the vehicles in the competition and this is far better than the Honda. Acceleration is not a problem. Interiors are far better than platicy Pallisade

Great look and nice ride but poor reliability

Art, Ft Lauderdale, FL / DC, 03/29/2023
2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SEL R-Line Black 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful

Bought a 2022 cross sport v6 Sel r line July 2022. By August noticed the start stop system was not functioning properly, it would start back up at a light with my foot firmly on the break after 4 seconds flat like clock work. This is not the way any start stop system is designed to work. Took it to dealer multiple times and got impatient and traded in for a 2023 cross sport r line sel. Jokes on me cause this new one also has issues (decides to shut the engine off when I aggressively go from D to R or shut off when I was creeping over a speed bump at about 1mph cause it couldn’t figure out whether to engage start stop. I really love the look and drive of the car but I do not trust it. I will enjoy the atlas until I sell it and then will never buy another vw product again. The reliability is such a joke. Also, my 2011 Camry had a better stock sound system than the Atlas. However, to some the look, drive and energy of this car will be worth the headache and in many ways it is cause it really does drive well and is smooth and is a sexy car. However that comes at a cost, under warranty right now but paying with my time and stress levels that something will break. I cannot in good faith recommend this car to anyone who is looking for reliability or dependability. If you’re good w the pay to play model and want the German drive feel then it’s a great car. If you want something to rely on stay far far away! I’ve had 2 now. On a side note regarding the driving character it dominates the road with a wide body ride, is an absolute legend in south Florida downpour rain, feel very safe.

Nice ride for very tall people

I brought the Cross Sport simply because at 6’8 tall there were no other two row SUV’s I could fit in. The car rides nice and has adequate power for a turbo 4. I love all the technology and it’s pretty easy to learn how everything works. My only complaint is the radio. I think VW should’ve made the Fender audio an option. I love my music and the radio is below average. Other than that I’d highly recommend this car.
