2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Trims Comparison

Which 2025 Atlas Cross Sport trim does Edmunds recommend?

The SE with Technology is the best value of the Cross Sport lineup. Some of its upgrades are more style than substance, but the sunshades, power liftgate and parking sensors are nice touches, and the household-style outlet is useful for charging thirsty devices like laptops or powering things like air compressors.

2025 Atlas Cross Sport trim level differences

The 2025 Atlas Cross Sport is a midsize crossover SUV that seats five. It's available in five trim levels: SE, SE with Technology, SEL, SEL R-Line Black and SEL Premium R-Line. All are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (269 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque) joined to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on the first two trim levels, but all-wheel drive is optional. All-wheel drive is standard on SEL and above trims.

SE
The base model SE starts off with:

  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Roof rails
  • Proximity keyless entry and push-button start
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated steering wheel wrapped in synthetic leather
  • 10.5-inch digital instrument display
  • 12-inch touchscreen
  • Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Six-speaker sound system

Standard driver assist features on all Atlas Cross Sport models include:

  • Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Atlas Cross Sport back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Cross Sport and the car in front)

SE with Technology
Adds a few extra conveniences and dash of style with:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Upgraded LED exterior lighting
  • Trailer hitch
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Remote start
  • 115-volt household-style power outlet
  • Manual rear seat sunshades

SEL
A more tech-savvy trim level that pushes the Atlas Cross Sport into borderline luxury territory. It adds:

  • Upgraded headlights
  • Hill descent control (controls vehicle speed on steep downhill surfaces)
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Leather upholstery
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • 30-color ambient interior lighting
  • Integrated navigation system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Predictive adaptive cruise control (works with navigation system to adjust speed for bends, curves or fluctuating speed limits)

SEL R-Line Black
Takes features from the SEL and adds:

  • Black 20-inch alloy wheels
  • Black exterior trim and roof rails
  • Unique R-Line bumper design
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Heated rear seats
  • Unique interior trim

SEL Premium R-Line
The top-trim Atlas Cross Sport ditches the black exterior trappings but includes the R-Line Black's extra features. To them it adds:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Power-folding side mirrors
  • Upgraded diamond-quilted leather upholstery
  • Massaging front seats
  • Harman Kardon premium sound system
  • Park Assist (automatic steering system that allows the Atlas Cross Sport to fit into tight parallel parking spaces)
  • Surround-view camera (gives you a top-down view of the Atlas Cross Sport and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
