@stephenhendricks1035 жыл бұрын
I'm a fan of this size crossover. I'd disagree somewhat, however, that it's "underserved." The "tweener" mainstream midsize crossover category (188'-192" in length) includes the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Ford Edge, the KIA Sorento, the Honda Passport, the Chevy Blazer, the Subaru Outback, the Grand Cherokee, the long version of the Wrangler, and the Nissan Murano. Assuming the Cross Sport is almost six inches shorter than the Atlas, it will be at the top of this group in terms of size. That makes 10 "Goldilocks" size vehicles. They're a fairly diverse group but they also share a number of attributes. Most offer standard or optional V6 engines. (The Santa Fe and the Outback are exceptions with 4 bangers only and the Edge's V6 is a twin scroll turbo.) Most offer traditional geared transmissions. (The Outback and Murano have CVT's.) In terms of styling and intended mission the group covers a fairly wide range. The Jeeps offer some serious off-road ability. The Murano makes little pretense of being anything other than a stylish highway cruiser. Others fall somewhere between those poles. When we were shopping last year we drove most of the vehicles in the tweener category along with several larger three row crossovers including the VW Atlas. For our small family (two adults, a teenager, and a large dog) it was just too large and cumbersome in suburban traffic especially when we need to hang a bike rack behind the rear bumper that extends the length by 18" to 24". We could have opted for one of the two row vehicles but we find the occasional use (and surprisingly accommodating) third row of seats in the Sorento to be very convenient when we have to chauffeur a gaggle of teenagers or need room for six or seven passengers for a local trip and would otherwise have to use two vehicles. Bottom line. Welcome to the party for the Atlas Cross Sport. It joins several excellent choices. I suspect it will do well.

VW has found repeatedly that Americans simply aren't willing to pay the price Europeans do for VW vehicles. Top trim GTI's in Europe have MSRP's over $50,000 at current exchange rates. The well regarded Tiguan was seen as too small and too pricey in the US. Ditto for the European Passat. And the same story for the Touareg. In each case sales improved in the US when larger, cheaper replacements were introduced.
