2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Atlas Cross Sport is a midsize crossover SUV that seats five. It's available in five trim levels: SE, SE with Technology, SEL, SEL R-Line and SEL Premium R-Line. All are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (269 horsepower, 273 lb-ft of torque) joined to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on the first two trim levels, but all-wheel drive is optional. All-wheel drive is standard on SEL and above trims.

SE
The base model SE starts off with:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Proximity keyless entry and push-button start
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated steering wheel with paddle shifters
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 10.25-inch digital instrument display
  • 12-inch touchscreen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • VW's Car-Net connected services including Wi-Fi access (requires enrollment and/or subscription)

Standard driver assist features on all Atlas Cross Sport models include:

  • Forward collision mitigation with pedestrian detection (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Atlas Cross Sport back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Cross Sport and the car in front)
  • Emergency assist (with adaptive cruise control and lane keeping system active, can detect an unresponsive driver and bring the Tiguan to a safe stop)
  • Safe exit alert (can prevent a passenger from opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)

SE with Technology
Adds a few extra conveniences and dash of style with:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Remote start
  • 115-volt household-style power outlet
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Manual rear seat sunshades

SEL
A more tech-savvy trim level that pushes the Atlas Cross Sport into borderline luxury territory. It adds:

  • All-wheel drive
  • Hill descent control (controls vehicle speed on steep downhill surfaces)
  • Upgraded dual-projector headlights
  • Automatic high beams
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Heated nozzles for windshield fluid
  • Leather upholstery
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Power-adjustable front passenger seat
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Integrated navigation system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Predictive adaptive cruise control (works with navigation system to adjust speed for bends, curves or fluctuating speed limits)

SEL R-Line
Takes features from the SEL and adds:

  • Sportier exterior styling
  • 20-inch alloy wheels in silver finish
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Heated rear seat
  • Stainless steel pedals

SEL Premium R-Line
The top-trim Atlas Cross Sport comes fully loaded with:

  • 21-inch wheels
  • Power-folding side mirrors
  • Upgraded diamond-quilted leather upholstery
  • Heated rear seats
  • 12-speaker premium Harman Kardon sound system
  • Park Assist (automatic steering system allowing the Atlas Cross Sport to fit into tight parallel parking spaces)
  • Surround-view camera (gives you a top-down view of the Atlas Cross Sport and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Which Atlas Cross Sport trim does Edmunds recommend?

With the wealth of new standard features and singular engine choice, the base SE is a compelling choice. But we still think it's worth upgrading to the SE with Technology. Some of its upgrades are more style than substance — larger wheels, front and rear light strips — but the power liftgate and parking sensors are mighty handy. Plus it can also be equipped with a towing package rated up to 5,000 pounds and a sunroof.
