Refreshed Volkswagen 2024 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport Pricing and Trim Details

Volkswagen Canada has announced pricing details for its refreshed 2024 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models. The redesigned SUVs are set to provide refined elegance, boosted performance, and a more engaging driving experience.

Starting at an MSRP of $49,995 for the Atlas and $48,895 for the Atlas Cross Sport, the new iterations boast major interior enhancements and a more potent turbocharged engine. The 2024 Atlas family is solely powered by a four-cylinder turbocharged, direct-injection TSI engine, generating 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This improved engine offers a broader torque range, thus enhancing drivability and acceleration, and is expected to deliver better fuel economy. Standard equipment across the range includes an eight-speed automatic transmission and Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system.

The Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport interiors witness a significant transformation for 2024. Both models introduce premium materials, including a leatherette-trimmed soft-touch dash and center console, quilted leather seats on top-range models, and innovative backlit dash décor. A redesigned center console with a storage cubby, heated steering wheel with shift paddles, ventilated front seats, and three-zone Climatronic automatic climate control enhance comfort features.

The Atlas model offers four trim levels, introducing a new Peak Edition, while the Atlas Cross Sport comes in three trims. The seven-seater Atlas gets a substantial boost with the new Peak Edition, which presents unique interior and exterior details such as unique wheels, all-terrain tires, black-out exterior details, and signature interior design.

Trim levels vary in their offerings, from the standard 18-inch machined aluminum-alloy wheels, LED headlights, and a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment display in the Atlas Comfortline, to the unique 18-inch black alloy wheels with all-terrain tires and 30-colour ambient lighting in the Peak Edition. The Highline and Execline R-Line trims build on these features, adding leather seat trim, a panoramic sunroof, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system among other upgrades.

For the Atlas Cross Sport models, offerings are similar to their Atlas counterparts, except for the absence of third-row seating. The Atlas Cross Sport Comfortline starts at $48,895, the Highline at $55,895, and the Execline R-Line at $58,895.

All trims feature the IQ.DRIVE package, which includes a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems. The revamped models will hit Canadian dealerships by Q3 of 2023, marking a new chapter in the Atlas family's evolution. The fresh design elements, enhanced performance, and feature-packed trims are anticipated to build upon the SUVs' success, offering consumers a comprehensive and captivating package.
