What it is

The 2027 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport 4motion is an SUV classified by the EPA as a Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD. It uses gasoline and all-wheel drive.

Power comes from a 2.0 L four-cylinder turbo engine paired with an automatic S8 transmission.

The numbers

Its defining EPA figure is 24 combined MPG. The rating breaks down to 21 MPG in city driving and 28 MPG on the highway.

Those figures show how fuel use changes with driving conditions: stop-and-go city trips return fewer miles per gallon than steady highway travel.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates annual gasoline cost at $2,800. Your actual total will depend on how much city and highway driving you do and how far you drive.

Tailpipe carbon dioxide is rated at 373 grams per mile.

How it compares

Its 24 combined MPG can be considered alongside its 21 city and 28 highway ratings. Those separate figures give a clearer match for your own driving mix.

Who it suits

This SUV fits drivers who want gasoline power and all-wheel drive in one vehicle, and who can plan around an EPA-rated $2,800 yearly fuel cost.

It makes the most sense when your driving includes both city streets and highways, since separate ratings are provided for each.

Trade-offs

All-wheel drive and a turbocharged engine come with a 24 combined MPG rating rather than a higher fuel-economy figure. City driving is rated at 21 MPG, below the 28 MPG highway figure.

The gasoline powertrain has an EPA annual fuel-cost estimate of $2,800 and tailpipe emissions of 373 grams per mile.

Verdict

Choose the 2027 Atlas Cross Sport 4motion if an SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbo four-cylinder, and an automatic transmission matches your needs. Budget around $2,800 per year for gasoline under the EPA estimate. Its 24 combined MPG is the headline number, while 21 city and 28 highway help set expectations for different routes.
