Dont expect everything to work

Frustrated owner, 06/13/2022
2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SE w/Technology 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

I traded in my 2020 Silverado for the Cross Sport because it seemed like a nice vehicle and 5K lb towing capacity is standard (no extra package needed). The car drives will and has some nice features like digital cockpit, infotainment, wireless charging etc; and it does tow my 3,500 lb boat nicely. But, its a very frustrating vehicle.... three days after I picked it up the infotainment system went dark. So many things are operated through that system, its a big deal. The dealer service team was no help (they are really bad) but I did my own research and found out how to do a soft reset; that worked. Then, a week later (that car is now two weeks old) as I am pulling out of my driveway memorial day weekend, 5:30 am for a 350 mile holiday weekend, the engine lite comes on. the Manual says not to drive it but I am not canceling my vacation because of this brand new car so I departed. three days later the light went out on its own and has not come back on. Again the dealer is no help. they want to keep the car for a week, with no courtesy vehicle, just to see if there is an error code; unbelievable. I contacted VW, they are less help than the dealer. some of the safety features dont work at they should, again, very frustrating... So, its a nice car but I have zero confidence in it. When its working, its a nice car. Proceed with caution if you are thinking of buying one. Or Buy two if you need reliable transportation.

Update: it’s still not a Sports Car!

UPDATE: it’s been a year and I still love this car for its roominess and spunky attitude. Now the dirty: it was annoying to learn of the wire harness recall of which my vehicle did not appear to have those issues after inspection and dealer fix (primarily due to the climate we live in). And another recall for yet another issue, that didn’t seem as urgent as the first. So, I’m waiting for a push or my next service appointment. 2nd the only thing that is really annoying is the infotainment system. The User Interface is not as mature as one would expect. In fact, there are far more intelligent systems out there. After 10 mos of ownership, the apple play bt would get confused and bounce pack and forth from the car to my AirPods (if they were not in the case). Or general radio/media controls would simply freeze up and I’d need to restart the entire vehicle. Strange little things. Or the BT would play in stereo one moment and simply switch to mono a few yards later and switch back. These are small annoying instances experienced in the last two months - simply annoying things that happen from time to time. But overall not a deal breaker. First, knowing this is NOT a Sports Car, it never claimed it was. I had no expectations for quick pick-up. But it does respond when it counts!! It drives as it should, a utility vehicle with sporty/stylish lines. I've read all many reviews claiming the disappointment in acceleration. And honestly, most suv's I've driven NEVER drove like sports cars. They are far too heavy and cumbersome to do so. It does have enough pick up where it matters. Now, to the part I love - its roomy!! There is space for everything!! Carseats, strollers, and trips to Costco. AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE!! We didn't go with the special badging option, that was to frivolous. We could see where folks might have issues with the technology - frankly we figured it out quickly and it's actually very advanced for normal consumers. We're impressed - So far, so good, we're grandparents who refuse to drive a minivan! UPDATE: from my first review - we still love the car!! Despite the recall for the door harness that seems to effect those in “wetter” climates. We live in a dryer climate, and are less likely to have the issues in the recall, so we wait for a fix. Despite all of that - the car still is a favorite of ours. Spacious and Stylish, it can and does turn heads of the Audi Q8 owners. It reminds us of the less techie version without the high end finishes. And we’re actually ok with that.

Why did I get rid of my Outback Wilderness???

My wife and I made the decision to pair down to 1 vehicle to save money and be more aware of how much needless driving we do. We looked at a number of SUV's that would align to our lifestyle. We landed on the VW Atlas Cross Sport. I will start with it is a beautiful and very solid vehicle. Infotainment is no more confusing than anyone else's and it takes time to learn but not too bad. Interior is lovely and not leather which I love. I don't need or want leather so the V-Tex is awesome. That's about where it stops. we have just about 400 miles on it and the following things have gone south. Passenger side rear window refuses to close. Takes several tries to get it up and stay up. there was an exhaust shield rattle that was found to be incorrectly installed and was loose. Car would not start. Pressed the start button 15 or so times before it started. Car would not restart after I stopped at a light and the auto shut off engaged. There is now a rattle in the passenger's rear door. All of this in 400 miles. I have owned literally 25 cars in my 33 years of driving and the only other one to give me trouble like this was my 1997 VW Golf. I have owned 7 Subaru's since 2012 and every one of them was well built, reliable and never gave me an ounce of trouble. To think I gave that up for this. I would say it's safe to assume that the VW will be leaving my life before it see's 1000 miles and I am confident it will be the last time I buy this brand. Such a shame.

First this is the Off Road mode is great and augments the other adjustable AWD drive modes. The acceleration is just as good as most of its competitor's with one exception...It uses REGULARE GAS to achieve Real world MPG ! The exterior is very sporty even though the VW group has 3 other versions like the Q8, the Porsche and the Uris Lamborghini. Same shape but less luxurious and a lot less money. I have the SE Tec with the 6 cylinder and 4 motion. This is not a small vehicle, it's the same size as 2021 MDX and just about a second slower with 5000lbs towing capacity. Pretty good for a vehicle that runs on REGULAR GAS!

8+ warranty repairs in first 1500 miles

New 2024 Atlas. Cross Sport, 2 replaced driving lights, Navigation system has stopped working twice, drivers side door allowed water intrusion during rain. In total 8 warranty repairs with still no functional daytime driving lights or working navigation system. The car has less than 1500 miles and is by far the worst car I have ever owned. Avoid the 2024 Atlas Cross Sport at all costs.

I ordered a ACS, after test driving one and loving it. However when mine came in, I immediately noticed some fit and finish issues. I also noticed it drove different than what I test drove. A piece on the center console is not installed properly and it’s been to the service department 3 times due to vibrations and shaking in the steering wheel. Unfortunately it seems the vehicles VW makes in TN have quality control issues. Some are great and some not so much. Trading it back in after 2K miles.

Buyer beware new Cross Sport repairs

Disappointed VW customer, 09/09/2023

Bought a New 2024 VW Cross Sport 8/22/2023. It had an error code the first day driving home from the dealership. Daytime running lights and misaligned drivers door. 16 of 19 days out of service and no resolution yet. The dealerships cannot re-adjust the door and VW warranty wants me to take the car to a body shop to have the repairs done. The car has 364 total miles. Also the body shops suggested by VW are all over 400 miles away round trip with no compensation or loaner car while the body shops attempt to fix a new car. Best advice don't set yourself up for extreme disappointment. First and last VW!

Best ride and looks in the segment. Don’t buy

Excellent ride, best in segment under 50k. I would not suggest buying, owning this out of warranty seems like a nightmare. I have already had the following done in warranty: Replaced entire passenger side mirror housing because it was coming undone Replaced component of the start stop system because it was turning the car back on with my foot on the break at a stop. I have also noticed that engine shuts off when I go from R to D quickly. It will be a sad day to sell my sexy Beast but I don’t think owning it out of warranty is not a good idea. I’m at 20k miles and I actually drove it across country coast to coast with no problem. Bucket seats are where it’s at and are on par with full size truck seats. Width is almost as wide as full size truck segment. Quiet and composed ride. No body roll, great on corners and feels very safe. Rides better with nitrogen in the tires. V6 engine is plenty fine for me but I also don’t tow. Nice experience but also my last VW because of the lack of quality and long term reliability. Also these depreciate like a rock.

Great look and nice ride but poor reliability

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.

I will skip the "admiration" part of the vehicle description. We bought our vehicle brand new from the dealership in Canada. It had no issues and ran smoothly first 5,000 km. It's almost 8,000km on the odometer at the moment. For this period of time we've had issues with media system (the system switches to mute voluntarily while driving and turns back to normal only after reset), rattling plastic part over the driver's head (seriously? this is a CAN80K car), defect brakes, malfunctioning outside sensors, squeaking outside mirror... Every time the dealer requests to "replicate" the issue referring to the VW requirements. I've already spent hours working from the dealership waiting room. Hopefully they will improve in the future.

Out of the door from the dealership I discovered that the Bluetooth connect and disconnect every min once also the current location of the car is totally off as result the directions are not correct. The navigation system of the car if you do not use the apple car play is also off for the location of the car and as result gives wrong directions. I took it back to the dear ship twice could not fix it they are waiting for VW to tell them what to do. Do not buy the car

Just got this in the SE w/ Technology trim. It’s a significant upgrade to the 2022 which I just traded in. The inside is completely new and has a ton of standard features and tech that you would usually have to “trim up” for. I got this over the Jeep GC initially and never looked back. It’s really spacious inside and gets great gas mileage. It’s got a sporty look to it. Especially with the black wheels.

I just rented a 2022 Cross Sport and drove it 2000 miles to Tennessee and back to NY. This vehicle handles like it's on rails in rain or shine. I disagree with Edmunds' assessment that it runs out of steam at high speeds. It goes like a striped ape at high speed and feels like it could do so all day long. I do agree that it does not have the best acceleration from a dead stop. On my trip, I got over 30 mpg average for the whole trip. If I had the money and I was in the market for a new vehicle, I would buy this one. I give it 4 1/2 stars.

R Line Black v6 4 Motion

2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SEL R-Line Black 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful

Previous VW was V6 Touareg. Was T boned and totalled so looked for VW replacement, but TREG no longer sold in USA. Went for 2023 2 row R-Line V6 with tiptronic, same engine and gear shifter as TREG . Did not want push button gear shift sold in the 2024. Benefit.. it runs on regular not premium like the TREG did, so much cheaper to drive. Completed a 2800 mile round trip down to tip of Florida and back to IL and three months later completed a 4800 mile round trip out to Vancouver and back. Averaged 26 mpg on both. Roomy interior, comfortable ride, lots of space for passengers and cargo. No issues with electrical system as described for earlier versions, especially the 2021 reviews. Note with tiptronic, this VW drove exceptionally well on high mountain roads... dropped out of auto and into hand shifting for climbing and decents... used engine braking downhill instead of ruining my brake shoes. Headlights were fine for night driving. Safety features all worked fine. I am still under 20k miles on this Cross Sport, so its early days in car's life but thus far it has performed very well. Not as sporty as the TREG nor does it have equivalent off road capability, but for how i drive now, its a fine road car... long wheelbase, good ride, nice suspension. Hope it continues to do well. Gets lots of comments as people like its looks and color - a candy apple red. Only comlaint, it is so wide i had to get a new garage door to get in... i had measured the door opening and had VW's dimensions, but those did not include the stalks of the folded mirrors which gave me about 2" clearance per side... ok to get in, not so hot to back out !!!! No idea it was that much bigger than my TREG. Conclusion : its a very solid VW and i would buy it again based on performance thus far.

Atlas cross sport fits my needs for a good size 2 row suv. In 2024 Vw revamped the interior taking it to the next level. Best value trim is the se with tech pkg I like the sunroof and black wheels Puts this vehicle at a reasonable price compared to the completion. Ride is smooth and light with a great driving experience compared to many competitors that have a heavy truck like ride. Very pleased with 4 cylinder engine as well as the entire vehicle. It’s a perfect fit for my needs

Purchased new with 35 miles. Currently 14k, and has already leaked oil twice, turns off when in reverse(dealer applied update hopefully this fixes it), and just little quality issues(sunvisor screw fell out dealer had to order special part) and the audio system leaves a lot to be desired. However this is a super comfy suv. I can drive for 8 hours until the seats start to get uncomfortable, its ride quality is excellent, and is super quiet going down the road. I chose the v6 over the new for 24 4 cylinder because it’s much smoother and has a proven reliability record. This will be my first and last vw until they make them a little better and will buy something from a more reputable brand.

Cannot speak for reliability yet. Have owned vehicle for one week and could not be more impressed. I find base model to be all that I need. Great acceleration, spacious seating for 4, averaging 24mpg mixed driving,manageable tech. And vehicle looks really cool inside and out. One downside is biggest suv I have ever owned and challenge to park in tight spaces. But overall strong performance and great value for dollar.

WHY DID I BUY VW AGAIN!!!!

My wife and I decided to downsize to one vehicle to save money and reduce unnecessary driving. After considering several SUVs, we chose the VW Atlas Cross Sport. Initially, we were impressed with the "beautiful and very solid vehicle" and its "lovely" V-Tex interior, which I preferred over leather. However, problems began quickly, with multiple issues arising within the first 400 miles. The passenger rear window "refuses to close" without repeated attempts, there was an exhaust shield rattle due to improper installation, and the car struggled to start—sometimes requiring "15 or so" presses of the start button. The auto stop-start feature failed at a traffic light, and a new rattle developed in the rear door. With these problems so early on, I regretted switching from my reliable Subaru, as I’ve never had such issues in my 33 years of driving. After the initial car was replaced with the same model, the second Cross Sport was "a nightmare right out of the gate." The front bumper was damaged and poorly covered with touch-up paint, which cost me $1,800 to fix properly. Other issues followed: the driver's window was scratched, parking sensors failed, windows malfunctioned, the infotainment system frequently froze, the console cover broke twice, and the headlights, which have been replaced multiple times, "DO NOT calibrate." Additionally, the backup camera and headlight control module needed replacing. With two cars in 10 months and a long list of recurring problems, I believe VW needs to take a hard look at their production and quality control processes. I don't want to spend every week at the dealership for repairs, which is "a problem" for any consumer.

The Atlas Cross Sport premium R line SEL has every option you could need/use, and it doesn’t really need anything more, We are one year into our third VW, having had and EOS and a CC. The only recall was an over the air upgrade to the infotainment system.First service (included) was uneventful. The technology, I drive, parking assist, 360 camera all are great features. The car play app can be frustrating..it is too smart..and will sync more than one phone at a time,

Uncomfortable Forces Distracted Driving

Lacks firm lumbar support and instead of keeping eyes on the road they're on the infotainment system fidgeting with the radio and climate controls. Assist systems are a disappointment. Hard to stay smack dab in the middle of a lane when looking at a screen so often which would be unnecessary if good old-fashioined knobs and other intuitive and sensible and safe controls were available. Went too far patterning this car after one that is autonomous - if such a concept will every be safe. The Tiguan is attractive and a cut above the rest aesthetically and was comfortable and easy to drive before it became futuristic. The Cross Sport is scarcely distinguishable from the other mid-sized SUVs. Doesn't squarely fit into SUV category anymore with the reduced 6.3" ground clearance down from 8". The Tiguan has more. Rear space on the Cross Sport is nice but that doesn't help with driving. It's nuts having to scroll through menus while driving. This is it for me with the VW. Back to the drawing board to revisit all other brands. There's a constant draft coming from the always-open footwell passage on the driver's right side that can't be managed. This adds to the discomfort and constant adjustment of temps and settings. Only one setting that keeps the A/C off - in the winter no less. The 2024 Cross Sport is the worst car I ever sat in. Anxious for offers to buy out my lease.

Amazing technology in this vehicle with an8.0-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth works flawlessly. Beautiful styling with 20-inch alloy wheels and LED headlights/ taillights. Adaptive cruise control with automatic braking, and parking sensors for front andback, lane departure and assist are fabulous. The vehicle is very spacious. Yes, would like to have more pep...but overall great.

Just purchased Premium fully loaded model. Went back to an SUV from a sports vehicle due to my dog and needing more space. This vehicle hits the spot on all needs. It is high up but driving it so far has been smooth and still learning all the bells and whistles. Have never been a fan of VW but since they also make Audi, I did not want to spend alot for a larger vehicle that met my needs. Overall, so far, I am please. Best part is that it runs on regular gas so saving almost a dollar a gallon is amazing. Gets about 430 miles to a full tank. Good comfort and sound system. still trying to figure out all the extra bells and whistles.

My wife and I bought a new 2024 Atlas Cross sport with 11 miles on it when we left the dealership. Two days later her Information screen when blurry and had lines running through it like a 1980's TV trying to get reception. We were told by the dealership there is not a fix for that yet and they are hoping to fix it with a software update in the future with no time line on when that might be, but you can do a hard reset on the screen and that should fix it for now and when it does it again, just do another hard reset. After owning the Atlas for a week and having less the 1,000 miles on it we get an engine warning light that comes on. We immediately call the dealership and let them know and they tell us that we need to bring it in and have it looked at. After it being in the dealerships shop for a week, they replace and injector and tell us we are good to go. We drive it again for less than another week and we get the same engine warning light that comes on. We call the dealership again and they tell us to bring it back to them. This time the car has been there for 5 days and they have been going back and forth with VW manufacture trying to figure out what the issue could be. Finally on day 5 we receive a text message from the service department telling us they found metal shavings in the oil pan and they have ordered us a new engine, new turbo and all the oil lines. They tell us they will replace it all and that the engine and turbo are at least 4 weeks out! The dealership we bought the car from has been wonderful as far as helping us and giving us a rental vehicle now both times our car has been in the shop, HOWEVER this thing has been a HUNK of Junk and for $47,000 it is not worth the money. No one should have these types of issues from a vehicle bought in this day and age.

It is a great car with lots of room, drives like a car, handles a little rough around curves, It could be a little easier to navigate the touch screen, and the nobs for the stereo are rather small. I would recommend this vehicle!

My Atlas Cross Sport brakes make squealing, squeaking, and screeching noises. They sound similar to when brake pads are almost at the end of their lifespan, but the dealership says this is normal in these cars. Weird, huh! Another problem is that sometimes I feel a strong chemical odor coming from the front sunshades, mainly when I put them down and to the side. I have owned this car for 2 years and 5 months, recently, the dealership had to change both front headlamps because the LED daylights were not working. They had to remove the front bumper to change the headlights.

It looks Beefy but it's actually very agile. It's what I love about it. However there are just one option, I which I could have added. Memory seats! Seriously it's the only option I wanted. Otherwise the car is perfect, though it took a little while to get used to its size!! And I also carry around a foldup ladder and windshield cleaner. In far too short to reach my glass! Still wouldn't change the fact that it shares the same DNA as an Lamborghini Urus, Bentley SUV, Porsche Cayanne/Macan and Audi A8...

"Like" Space, Interior finishes & Ride height along with compliant handling and power delivered from the Turbo four. "Dislike" Phone app for additional features that requires permission to sell generated info to "Third Parties"...at + 8000 mi. now and comfortably settled with most of this major purchase"Except" a failure by VW to provide simple access (lighted buttons & knobs) to operate infotainment climate / music controls.I Actually feel stress when trying to access these functions while driving because eyes must be removed from the road.Touch screens are cool but not while driving ...

We bought a 2023 Atlas Sel R line and liked it so well, we bought a 2024 atlas cross sport SEL R line. Very impressive sporty interior and every bit as much power as the V6. Traded in an Audi Q5 and liked this car better. More room, heavier and more quiet.

It is the second atlas bought new in 2018 and was an excellent vehicle miss the six but the turbo four is just as good apples quite well for the size and feels just as strong well built but the non light controls below the info center is disappointing very comfortable but would make the info center more user friendly decent sound from the speakers not soectaular but decent seat would be nice if massage but all in all I like it
