The 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport is Volkswagen’s stylish mid-size SUV that is the sleeker younger brother of the full-sized, three-row Atlas. With a smaller profile coupled with an impressively powerful engine, the Atlas Cross Sport offers a peppy feel behind the wheel and is coupled with a range of technology and feature options across five trim levels. Keep reading to learn about the differences between all five and see which one is best suited to your needs.
Trim Levels of the 2023 VW Atlas Cross Sport
SE
The base-level SE trim level comes packed with standard features designed to boost your comfort behind the wheel, including LED headlights, a 10-way power driver’s seat, push-to-start technology, and Volkswagen’s suite of safety software. Some of the standard features on the SE trim include forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind spot sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert.
SE With Technology
As its name would suggest, the SE with Technology comes with a host of technology features on top of the base-level SE’s feature list. These include a standard power liftgate, an upgraded 10.25-inch touchscreen for the center console’s infotainment system, automatic dual-zone climate control, and the addition of adaptive cruise control.
SEL
The SEL-level trim comes with the addition of a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, and adaptive headlights, all of which can make driving just a bit more convenient and comfortable. The SEL also adds a few new features to the safety features included on all previous trims, the most notable of which is a semi-autonomous driving mode. While not fully self-driving, it can let make longer road trips easier by taking over much of the heavy lifting.
SEL R-Line Black
The R-Line Black takes all of the functional features included in the SEL and adds on a blacked-out aesthetic, with black trim, bumpers, doors, mirrors, and roof rails. It’s also paired with a unique set of 20-inch glossy black alloy wheels.
SEL Premium R-Line
The SEL Premium R-Line trim of the Atlas Cross Sport is the top-of-the-line option, for those looking for a comprehensive driving experience. Every feature mentioned up until the SEL is included, as is a unique leather trim, a premium 12-speaker Fender sound system, heated rear seats, and front and back parking assist functionality.
Most notably, the Premium R-Line comes with a 360-degree view HD camera that can help you navigate in tight parking spaces without worrying about dinging the sides of your car.
