Mid-Michigan driving behind the wheel of a 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is an energetic and versatile experience. Much like its 2022 counterpart, the elements of the crossover SUV have been largely kept similar. Several upgrades have been made across the range of 2023 Atlas Cross Sport models to help it stand out from its 2022 iteration. What hasn't changed is the reliable and entertaining ride everyone in the vehicle will have when they get to cruise around in this established vehicle.  

Performance 

Fans of the 2022 Atlas Cross Sport will appreciate knowing that the vibrant 2.0L four-cylinder engine makes its return as the standard engine for the 2023 Atlas Cross Sport. This means drivers get full access to 235 horsepower for every task they set their minds to. Coupled with the returning eight-speed automatic transmission, every second of acceleration is seamless. The 3.6L V6 engine that offers 276 horsepower also comes back as an optional powertrain choice. Standard FWD handling returns for the 2023 model year crossover SUV, with 4Motion® AWD also remaining a drivetrain option for interested mid-Michigan customers.  

Interior Features 

While Volkswagen has kept the 2023 Atlas Cross Sport relatively unchanged from its 2022 iteration, customers looking at the SE w/ Technology package option will notice a new feature available to them. Drivers who operate this version of the crossover SUV will get the welcome high-tech addition of the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. This diverse display for relevant driver information comes in the form of a 10.3-inch display in front of the driver for quick access. Otherwise, passengers of the 2023 Atlas Cross Sport will adore the familiar loaded cabin that the 2022 model year Volkswagen also provided.  

Safety Features 

For reliable protection in any mid-Michigan driving situation, the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport contains the same wide array of standard driver-assistance technology as the 2022 model year did. For example, Front Assist returns to combine both Autonomous Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning into one convenient package. Comparable protection for the road behind the 2023 Atlas Cross Sport is covered through the combination of Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert systems. For customers who want to make their 2023 Atlas Cross Sport the ultimate vacation taker across the state, they can opt for a model equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control technology as well.
