VW hasn’t nonetheless clued us into all the selections and deals for the 2021 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport, but the fundamental principles will continue to be the very same from final calendar year.
The 2021 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport will be readily available in S, SE, SEL trim with a handful of tech, top quality, and R-Line deals incorporating many creature comforts and colourful accents scattered through. The foundation Atlas prices $32,565 in the foundation configuration and can reach up towards about $fifty,000 completely loaded. The Atlas Cross Sport is mainly identical, apart from for a couple modest discrepancies, and prices about $1,000 fewer than a comparably outfitted Atlas.
It is a seven for features thanks to good machines in every single edition which includes the foundation Atlas S and it will get yet another level for a 4-calendar year/fifty,000-mile warranty that is nonetheless generous amongst opponents.
The foundation Atlas S will get a 6.5-inch touchscreen for infotainment, lively protection features (included above), fabric upholstery, 18-inch wheels, and 3 rows of seats (two in the Atlas Cross Sport).
The best SEL goes further more with an 8.-inch touchscreen, driver-support features, synthetic leather-based upholstery, twenty-inch wheels, 3-zone automated local weather regulate, top quality audio, panoramic sunroof, readily available captain’s chairs, wireless smartphone charger, and remote start off.
