Rejuvenated 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport: A Blend of Luxury and Performance

Volkswagen Canada has raised the curtain on the pricing details for the revamped 2024 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport. The Atlas and its sportier sibling, the Atlas Cross Sport, will come to the Canadian market with a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $49,995 and $48,895, respectively, a testimony to Volkswagen's commitment to offering value-packed, feature-rich vehicles.


The 2024 models carry a distinctive ethos, a harmonious blend of elegant design and premium materials, rendering the Atlas family a significant interior uplift. The Atlas comes packed with high-end comfort features as standard, such as three-zone Climatronic, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel, ensuring drivers and passengers ride in comfort and style.


Under the hood, the 2024 Atlas family presents an enticing prospect. The previous four-cylinder and VR6 engines have been replaced by a more fuel-efficient and powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged TSI engine. The engine offers 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, available over a broader rev range for enhanced drivability and acceleration. Moreover, an eight-speed automatic transmission and Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system come standard across all models, ensuring an engaging driving experience and a solid road presence.


The model line-up for both vehicles is diverse, with the Atlas offering four trims, including the new, ruggedly appealing Peak Edition, while the Cross Sport offers three. The Peak Edition, joining the facelifted MY24 Atlas lineup, brings a wealth of unique interior and exterior features to the table, ensuring a distinctive road presence and a sophisticated cabin ambiance.


Both Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport have maintained the successful underpinnings of their predecessors, accentuated with the added spacious and plush interior of the 2024 models. The interior is adorned with premium materials such as a leatherette-trimmed soft-touch dash and center console, while top-of-range models boast quilted leather seats with a diamond stitch pattern. The door treatment and décor flow seamlessly from front to back, mirroring in the second row. Ambient lighting with a stunning choice of 30 colours enhances the sophisticated design, further enhancing the cabin experience.


Volkswagen has elevated the comfort quotient, making heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and a height-adjustable passenger seat standard across the Atlas lineup, while a redesigned center console boasts a convenient storage cubby underneath.


The seven-seater Atlas lineup further boasts the Peak Edition trim line, a notable addition for 2024. The Peak Edition exudes charisma with its unique interior and exterior details, body cladding elements, and black-out exterior details. The MSRP of the Atlas Peak Edition begins at $53,995, offering standard features like 18-inch black alloy wheels, unique interior colour and décor, and illuminated exterior styling elements.


Volkswagen expects to bring the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport to Canadian dealerships in Q3 of 2023, making the much-anticipated wait for these refreshed SUVs almost over.


In conclusion, the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport bring a renewed energy to the Canadian automotive market with a combination of power, luxury, and innovative design, all packed into an attractive price bracket.
