One of the main reasons drivers can count on the VW Atlas Cross Sport is its engine power. This vehicle offers outstanding performance with a standard 2.0L turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine. Hit the gas and you can generate up to 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque thanks to this engine’s turbocharging technology.

If you’re planning on towing, you’re going to want to have the help of a larger engine by your side. Upgrade to the available 3.6L V6 engine and you can produce up to 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Overall, this engine gives drivers enough power to tow up to 5,000 pounds behind them when the vehicle is properly equipped.

To give you great control and confidence when hauling cargo, you can even equip your SUV with the available 4MOTION® with Active Control all-wheel drive system. This feature dynamically reacts to changes in traction to adjust the torque to your wheels accordingly. If you want to have more traction while pulling a trailer, you’ll want the peace of mind this feature has to offer.
