2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Consumer Reviews

The look of the vehicle is awesome! It is also a very comfortable vehicle. However, it is not reliable! I have had problems with the breaks, airbags, harness, coolant engine system, electrical radio malfunction(it doesn't work), and it is very noisy. I had new tires put on and now it sounds like the (cv) joints are about to break loose. It has given me nothing but problems. I would never purchase another one.

Excellent, comfortable vehicle. Very stable on the highway and great gas mileage for the size. No mechanical problems in three years!

Love it but the windows are broken and it’s an 2023 only a year old. When I go to roll them up, they go down. Extremely annoying they can’t have working windows on a new car especially for the money you spend. Other than that it’s good.

The ride is awesome, like siting on a luxurious couch as you watch the world flys past your windows, the new technology it almost drives itself, when you shift to sport mode it easy to forget how large this vehicle is, as it handles like a true sports car,

I owned a 2022 Atlas SEL Premium and this is my second Atlas. I love the style, interior space, comfort and reliability. Two Atlas in 5 years and never had one single issue, really impressed with VW quality. Safety features and standard gadgets are incredible and something that you wont find in other cars with the same price range like Toyota, Hyundai or Kia, you feel more like in an Audi or BMW. Something that could be better and I don't like is the fuel economy, around 18 mpg mostly city and jump to 22 mpg when driving highway at 75-80 mph, however this is a big heavy car. Ride quality is good and quiet, V6 engine is reliable and powerful, it feels really fast from standstill when the red light turns to green. I recommend this car to anyone looking for an SUV with style, enough space for a family and great reliability. You will smile after you own an Atlas.

Runs and handles great. 4 Cylinder Turbo is excellent power when you use premium fuel...eliminates hesitation as well...Only had a software update thus far. While not considered fuel efficient the handling, power and acceleration are excellent and has very spacious interior front and 2nd row. Great looks and great fit and finish too.

Its very unreliable the older volkswagen models are better for reliability and quality. The interior quality is very cheap your better off just getting a used audi.

I have owned my VW Atlas Cross-Sport since Nov 2021. I live in MA, where we have winters. There are several features or design flaws that drive me crazy in the winter. First, the windshield wipers don't stand up; they barely come out of the well, which makes it difficult to clean snow/ice around them. The remote start does NOT START the front defrost--that only goes on when you enter the car and turn the car on with the key--and you cannot program it to start w/ remote start. The way the door/roof is designed, even if you clean the snow off the top of the door, snow will ALWAYS fall onto the drivers seat. And if you have any snow or ice on any of the sensors, your car will annoyingly beep at you--and it's too challenging to find a way to turn it off "in the moment". Lastly, the driver has to manually put the car in AWD (or "snow") mode. Sometimes I forget to do so. Or if I do remember to turn on the AWD, and make a stop, and turn off the engine--when I restart the car, it is back in "normal" drive--so I better hope to remember to turn in back on AWD. Saying all that.....those are all nuisances that I put up with. The car does actually do well driving in the snow. And I do love the roomy interior. This car replaced an Acura MDX, and although the outside dimensions of the two cars were very similar, the interior is much for spacious (for people and cargo). I also believe the displays, controls, electronics, etc on the dashboard are very well designed as well. For this, I give the car an advantage over the MDX. However, even when I bought the car, I read a few reviews where the drivers complained about the rev/gutsiness/transmission of the car. After driving the Atlas Cross-Sport V6 for over a year now, I will agree. It is not a smooth ride; it does not shift gears nicely. Several times I thought I was getting whip-lash. If I had a re-do, and knew all about the car that I know now, I don't think I would have purchased it.
