For those looking for a versatile and sporty compact SUV option in the Central Michigan region, choose the Atlas Cross Sport and experience a satisfying all-around driving experience in 2024. 

Performance 
 

Much like its larger Atlas counterpart, the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport delivers excellent on-demand performance for around-town travel and vast trips on the highway. The turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine in the Volkswagen generates 269 horsepower of invigorating performance throughout the mid-Michigan region. Meanwhile, the standard Chevy Blazer is also equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine. However, this engine only delivers 228 horsepower for a noticeable reduction in power. Transmissions are different as well with the Volkswagen boasting an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the Chevrolet has a nine-speed automatic transmission. Both compact SUVs are fitted with standard FWD handling, while interested customers can also opt for AWD maneuverability on select trims of either vehicle.  

Interior Features 

While both compact SUVs have seating for five, the Volkswagen offers more overall passenger space for everyone in the vehicle to appreciate. With 112 cubic feet of passenger space compared to the 107.8 cubic feet in the Blazer, all occupants of the Atlas Cross Sport have extra personal room for better arm and leg stretching on long trips. Comfort amenities in the Volkswagen also provide greater all-around capabilities to meet any mid-Michigan season. Heated front seating is present in both vehicles, but the Atlas Cross Sport also adds heated functionality to the steering wheel and ventilation to the front seating for complete climate-controlled excellence. Both vehicles are equipped with vast infotainment systems that offer a welcome blend of convenient and entertaining applications for any trip across Central Michigan. Among the premium features that are accessible from both systems are coveted options such as SiriusXM® radio capability and connectivity to smartphone applications such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for compatible devices.  

 
Safety Features 

Contending with the busy city traffic that is present throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region in communities such as Midland and Saginaw is made even easier with driver-assistance technology found in both vehicles. Features such as Front Assist in the Atlas Cross Sport and Automatic Emergency Braking in the Blazer allow drivers to have extra peace of mind that they are actively protected against potential collisions from in front of the SUVs. Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist are valuable tools to help keep the respective compact SUVs in their intended spots on the road. Standard Blind Spot Monitoring technology is present in the Atlas Cross Sport which is an available addition on the baseline Blazer.
