For 2024 Volkswagen has freshened the Atlas Cross Sport, dropping the V6 engine in the process.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is now the sole engine choice, and receiving a bump up to 269 hp, but we only got 20 mpg overall with the freshened Atlas, which is not so great.
The freshening also brings an electronic gear selector and very confusing, distracting controls.
The Cross Sport is a roomy, five-passenger SUV, and it drives well unless you get the 21-inch wheels and tires that degrade ride comfort.
The ride is decent with the standard wheels and tires, and handling is responsive.
