All trims of the VW Atlas come standard with all-wheel drive. Additionally, since the introduction of the Peak Edition trim in the VW Atlas Canada last year, it has taken on a more adventurous character with off‐road tires mounted on 18‑inch black rims.
Furthermore, the interior of the VW Atlas provides ample space for all passengers. Well designed, the two SUVs display a fundamental difference worth mentioning.
While the midsize SUV from VW Canada accommodates three rows of seats, the Atlas Cross Sport offers two. The former can welcome up to 7 passengers, whereas the latter comfortably seats 5, with plenty of room. Depending on your needs, you will choose one or the other.
In either case, you benefit from a spacious cargo area that allows you to load numerous grocery bags or your luggage.
The 2025 VW Atlas is versatile and inviting with its very comfortable seats ‒ even more so in the Execline trim. Finally, the interior presentation is refined, as is the vehicle’s overall build quality.
In terms of dimensions, the differences are as follows:

As can be observed, the 2025 VW Atlas is longer and taller than the 2025 VW Atlas Cross Sport.
Both versions of the Atlas share similar engine specifications. Both models are powered by the new 2.0‑L turbocharged 4‑cylinder engine that produces 269 horsepower and 273 lb‑ft of torque.
The German manufacturer remains formidable with its winning formula on both models: a standard offered 4Motion AWD system and an 8‑speed automatic transmission. You will be well served in both summer and winter conditions.
Finally, the following data show the combined fuel consumption numbers for the 2025 Atlas and 2025 Atlas Cross Sport:
|

In short, the two German midsize SUVs remain economical at the pump, given their dimensions.
You will be surprised to learn that the 2025 VW Atlas boasts a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lb. The capacity is the same for the Atlas Cross Sport.
This means you can tow your boat or even your trailer, which can make your family vacation one to remember this summer!

Both 2025 VW Atlas feature several on-board technologies. Among these, you will find:
The 2025 VW Atlas, with a starting price of $54 388, and the 2025 VW Atlas Cross Sport, with an initial price of $53 288, are two well‑sized, capable, and versatile SUVs offering plenty of space. Should you opt for the Atlas, it will be easy to accommodate a larger family. On the other hand, choosing the Atlas Cross Sport will deliver a sportier driving experience.
In either case, you are getting a refined SUV loaded with on-board features and performance.
