The 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport is a Sleeker Looking Atlas That Could Replace Your Old Touareg

[@Pinkpolo85]

I love when Alex is here because he shows so much personality!!!! He has such a great sense of humor that we don't get to see on his channel!!!

I just bought one two weeks ago and I'm in love with it! I chose the midnight blue exterior and peanut butter leather interior. I have the R-Line series with a V6 engine and my rims are black. Gorgeous vehicle and such a smooth ride!

How is suspension? Stiff or soft.

[@markherbert1524]

Not sure why I keep watching these videos. We bought a 2021 VW Atlas Cross Sport this past Wednesday. Love, LOve, LOVE IT !!!!!! We got ours in Tourmaline blue, BEAUTIFUL COLOR !!!! As far as the “fake” exhaust tips, the salesman said that if the exhaust did come out the opening, it would discolor the chrome around the opening. Well, the exhaust discharges right behind where the “fake” openings are, so there will probably be discoloration eventually. JMHO.

I want one but the fuel economy is pretty bad. Upgrading from my 2014 camry, I want an SUV

[@JohnnyUkeOfficial]

How's the reliability so far?

[@DMCarReviews]

Love it! Looks gorgeous. You can definitely tell the plastic, trim, and many other touches are straight out of the Audi Q5 (which is awesome). Tune the 2.0T with an APR+ tune, and get over 300hp/300tq, while being covered under a powertrain warranty. A regular stage 1 tune will probably yield around 320hp/340tq.

[@garynembhard7433]

I agree with u. The Touareg was nice, but not a chance that happens. It wasn't well received in North America. Our market won't pay 60k for a VW. That's why this Atlas exists. They did the same thing with the Passat.

[@DMCarReviews]

@@garynembhard7433 If anyone has ever driven or been in the new Touareg, it's nicer than an Audi Q8, no joke! In Europe and Russia, the price tag goes up to $105,000-$110,000 for the higher trims.

[@garynembhard7433]

@@DMCarReviews the only European made VWs we see in North America these days are the Golf R and the Arteon. I haven't seen not one commercial ad for an Arteon, which leads me to question it's marketing, or if they're selling! VW occupies a weird space in North America. The moment they're priced over 40k USD, we put it against the Audi, which will always be more expensive.

[@DMCarReviews]

@@garynembhard7433 Not really. What about the Tiguan, which is in both USA and Germany? The new Jetta, Tiguan, Teramont (Atlas), are found in most Eastern European countries, Canada, Mexico, and more. Each country has a different set of popular models. The only car which America lacks is the Touareg. In Europe it can cost over $100,000 well equipped. They offer the Audi Q8 as an alternative. I would still likely take the Touareg, but it's not a big deal. The Passat in Europe is more fancy and powerful on top trims, along with a very high price tag, which would put it up against the A4/A5 here. We still get one of the more powerful versions, unlike Europe, where most Passats are small diesels, or 1.4T, 1.8T gasoline engines. Only reason we don't get all these models are because of stupid brand snobs! It is the only reason why Lexus and Infiniti exist, because in Japan, there is only Toyota and Nissan, and people don't have a badge obsession, unlike other countries.

[@FrankW1029]

@@garynembhard7433 pretty much this... because Americans associates everything with BRAND image. The Touareg and the actual Passat are built on much more expensive platform. the NMS Passat are still on the basic old platform dates back to 2005.

You guys are the best! Always great reviews! I am torn between the Telluride and the Cross Sport. I drove both. I liked the Telluride better.

[@KKMDStyle]

For the record, the VW Touareg was not discontinued. It is still in production however it is no longer sold in the US. If you look at the design that is for sale in Europe, China, etc., the new interior for the AUDI Q7, Q8 and Cross Sport was inspired by the Touareg.

[@raheemismail1554]

Getting a base or mid level trim on the V6 will be just fine. 37K and they'll still give a significant number of incentives and discounts. That said the incentive in buying a VW was completely shot for me when they stopped the 6 years/72K miles warranty.

[@noone1704]

In Europe there's a new model Tuareg and is way more premium than the Atlas, it's more expensive but it's Audi level quality especially the interior, this looks a bit cheap in comparison.

[@PhillyFan20]

We seem to get crappier versions of their cars in the US. There's cars that VW and the other major German brands produce that we can only dream about. At least Audi was nice enough to throw us a bone with the RS6.

[@keaneder]

@Alec Empire Agreed we need to keep price reasonable and quality high. will we be more expensive yes. but we also have a name to uphold and Volkswagen will never sacrifice quality to gain the majority of consumers. because those customers usually come threw our doors eventually because they are sick of the brand they came from.

12:22: This engine does have direct injection. It's a further improved version (that first came available on the Audi Q7 in 2005) from the original VR6 that launched in the 90s. The FSI branding in the technical details VW provides is another clue. They only use that badge for cars that posses the actual technology. So it's not for marketing purposes.

[@zoso73]

I've owned two Touaregs. Yes, sadly, discontinued here in the US. The US market has a hard time getting their arms around a high-quality car with a VW badge priced at $55K. They flock to a $60K Audi Q7 instead. That's what killed the Touareg.

[@publicneucence]

@@zoso73 well really it was the atlas that killed the touareg after the atlas came out sells when down for the touareg cause they were wanting the 3 row suv

[@zoso73]

@@publicneucence VW decided to discontinue selling the Touareg in the U.S. with the 2016 model year, so the last U.S. Touareg sales were in 2017. The first Atlases in the U.S. were model year 2018 selling in Fall 2017. So, it wasn't the Atlas that killed the Touareg in the U.S. It was the Touareg being a luxury-level VW that the excessively badge-conscious U.S. market wasn't willing to pay almost-Audi money ($45Kish to $55Kish) on that meant sluggish Touareg sales. VW needed a longer, wider, more "American" large-size SUV to attract American buyers that will are much more willing to drop non-Audit money ($35K to $45K) for what they perceive as a non-premium VW badge.
