The class president. The big man on campus. The valedictorian. Like the social circles of a high school, Volkswagen is recognized by its tradition and its namesake. Whether or not you’ve driven VW yet, you’ve surely seen one from afar—or maybe even up close around Toms River, Brick, or Freehold, NJ.
The German-made car company needs no formal introduction, but one of their SUVs deserves the spotlight. The Toms River VW team crafted a 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport review for your viewing and informative pleasure. Take a peek and see how the VW Atlas Cross Sport can improve your daily routine.
Drive Smoother Than Ever BeforeWith the power of VW, you’re given an all-access pass for precise driving, handling and performance. For example, the available 4MOTION® functionality gives you the choice of four different all-wheel drive modes to fit your driving situation: Snow, On-Road, Off-Road, and Off-Road Custom Mode.
Better yet, its engine’s capabilities begin big and only get bigger. The standard 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine achieves 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If you’re wanting to opt for a heftier driving experience, the available 3.6-liter V6 engine is right up your alley. If you do, you’ll have 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque available.
All the while you’re enjoying your day away from home, the VW Atlas Cross Sport boasts a respectable EPA-estimated 21 city/24 highway MPG.1 The foliage of New Jersey awaits you around every corner, and the VW gas tank strives to keep you going without reservation.
Re-Imagined Interior Propels ComfortYour drive to the grocery store is no longer ordinary. With the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, your travels—big or small—are now under the guise of next-generation futurism. This available feature transforms your instrument panel to invoke a full-screen view of… well, anything. Customize it to display your speed, your estimated travel time, or even the local elevation.
Equally mesmerizing is the 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display. Compatible with services like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, the high-resolution display is a premium approach to the tried-and-true hands-free driver assist feature.
Each of these technological features is enjoyed not just by your eyes or ears, but by your level of comfort, too. Sporting heated front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and 60/40 split folding rear seating, your arms and legs have plenty of room to go about their stretching business.
One of the greatest aspects of the VW Atlas Cross Sport is its approach to advanced safety and driver assist features. When you’re behind the wheel of the SUV, an array of technological tools will be chugging at all times to help keep you and your passengers safe. Some of those features include:
VW offers the available IQ.DRIVE®, a comprehensive safety package fine-tuned to your driving habits—and those sharing the road with you. These features use hands-on semi-autonomous capabilities to help keep you protected, such as:
Also included as part of the VW Atlas Cross Sport is Volkswagen Car-Net®, a mobile app compatible with iOS and Android devices. When synced with your VW, you’re able to take advantage of a suite of standard features to further improve your driving experience.
