The four-cylinder Atlas Cross Sport comes with EPA fuel-economy ratings of 21 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined for the front-wheel-drive model and 18, 23, and 20 mpg, respectively, for the all-wheel-drive version.

During our test drive, we found the Cross Sport lacks the sporty driving dynamics that its fastback rear end would suggest. While we haven't tested the 235-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, that powertrain pushed the three-row VW to 60 in 7.1 seconds. Delivering a 7.5-second 60-mph time, it proved to be slightly quicker than a similarly equipped three-row Atlas. Of the two powertrains offered, we've tested only the 3.6-liter V-6 with front-wheel drive. Shoppers who plan on pulling anything with the Atlas Cross Sport will want to get the V-6 Towing package, too. And we'd probably choose the $1900 all-wheel-drive system. We'd also opt for the V-6 over the standard turbocharged four-cylinder. We'd spec the SE model and tack on the optional Technology package, which includes automatic climate control, faux-leather upholstery, passive entry, heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen.
