Really solid reviews (including your description of the engine). My wife has had the Cross Sport for over a month and her gas mileage has been much better than you found. She just drove a 250 mile round trip and including her time in town the Atlas provided 26 mpg. 🤷♂️
I sat in it today at a dealership in Toronto. The interior is great and i played around with the touch screen and had no issues using it. Its on my short list.
I recommend you do the 0 to 60 test with the shifter in sport mode in addition to the drive mode in sport. I rented a Cross Sport V6 4 Motion last weekend. Quite a difference when the transmission is in sport mode.
I must agree. Your structure of the review is exactly how I think. First the motor, then interior, then the drive. You cover alot if points quickly but with detail. Great work. Still a little disappointed in the dash pocket being removed from this model.
Dude you scored this pretty damn high for something that others slam. I'm surprised. I will say i enjoyed driving it. I wish it was a little more powerful. V6 non turbo but what can you do. Will it last for 100k? thats my wonder. And really at the end of the day do i want a GAS guzzler? I wish it got at least 23 in city, 30 on highway and about 26 overall but its crazy low if you say its hitting 17 mpg URGH! I
The 2.0t has torque and only a few horses less than the VR6 - whether it's fully loaded or not. I've heard that the turbo isn't even boosting very hard when all of the torque is on tap. Is your concern about power or something else?
It is always the question how the manufacturers handle recalls. VW in this case got to know that there MIGHT has been a contamination during the bearing production (these bearings are made buy a supplier, so maybe other manufactures bought them as well?). So they are recalling it now instead of waiting a couple years after warranty expired. So for me it is a positive sign even though it is annoying.
Is the Cross Sport infotainment any different than the GTI? Every review I watch hates the GTI’s infotainment but is OK with Cross Sport but it seems like they are the same?

Beautiful blue paint color, completely agree

Great review. The only midsize 2-row competitor that comes to mind is the Honda Passport.
Love your work
Thank you!

good review, thanks.
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video I'm waiting for the ID7 and I'm not a big fan of vw thanks for the presentation
would buy one if they threw in the golf r engine with their dsg. maybe they will in the future
We have a 22 base Atlas thinking we should trade it in for a top of the line one

watched again :)
How were the ventilated seats? I hear that all Atlas models have it standard now.
Lol SOL with the small turbo 4. Just imagine if it’s fully loaded or towing. I’ll stay with NA 6 cylinder. Great review nonetheless.

@@MarcChevalier his main concern is that this suv is not good for drag racing, towing 5k pounds, go figure.
I’ve been averaging 26 mpg
Presenter: Curious what do you drive right now? And would you buy this over a 2024 Ford mustang?
This vehicle should have a V8 for 17 mpg. Tahoe gets same fuel economy. I'd really like this truck with a V8 or a turbo v6.
you can put a small person in the center storage !
jk I know he said small purse
I like it except the all touch screen :/
Weird thing is the 2024 atlas already is having a recall for some of their 2024 models :/
Not really weird. Recalls are a normal part of life.
Nawww. Touch screen is a gimmick and recalls are always a red flag, especially this early!

I don't believe those are chrome roof rails, satin finish?
Love it.
Any Atlas over 6,000 gvw ?

The overlay is the same. The hardware performance has been improved. I got used to the menu and sliders very quickly.
is this US vesion of european Touareg?
No
You're handsome
Thank you!
