2024 VW Atlas Cross Sport vs. Honda Passport and Hyundai Santa Fe

Compare Midsize Crossovers in Clifton, NJ

With its comfortable accommodations, abundant amenities, and plentiful practicality, the VW Atlas Cross Sport is an appealing option in the midsize crossover class. It's a great pick for families who don't need a third row but still want roomy seating, ample cargo capacity, and enjoyable performance. And it gets even better for the 2024 model year. A midcycle refresh gives Atlas Cross Sport a refined new look, increased standard power, and more premium features for its base trim level.

While the midsize crossover segment offers plenty of options, the 2024 Atlas Cross Sport offers a compellingly well-rounded that's tough to top. To show you what we mean, here's a quick look at how the Atlas Cross Sport surpasses two prominent class competitors-the Honda Passport and Hyundai Santa Fe.

VW Atlas Cross Sport vs. Honda Passport

• The VW Atlas Cross Sport and Honda Passport both offer spacious five-passenger accommodations. However, the Atlas Cross Sport provides a little more room to stretch out. Taller riders, in particular, will appreciate the Atlas Cross Sport, which offers more front and rear legroom.


• The 2024 Atlas Cross Sport comes standard with a 12-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for convenient and clutter-free smartphone integration. It also includes a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro instrument panel. The Honda Passport has an 8-inch touchscreen and wired smartphone integration, with no option for a larger display. It also doesn't offer a digital gauge cluster.


• The Atlas Cross Sport comes standard with heated and ventilated front seats and 10-way power driver adjustment. It also includes Travel Assist-a semi-automated hands-on driving system that combines Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Assist technologies for a more comfortable and convenient drive. The Passport has heated front seats and 8-way power driver adjustment. However, ventilated front seats are reserved for the Passport's highest trim. And while the Passport has adaptive cruise control, it doesn't offer semi-automated capability.

VW Atlas Cross Sport vs. Hyundai Santa Fe

• While the VW Atlas Cross Sport (112 cubic feet) and Hyundai Santa Fe (111.5 cubic feet) have similar passenger volumes, the Atlas Cross Sport gives occupants more personal space. Compared to the Santa Fe, the Atlas Cross Sport provides front-seat riders with 2.4 inches more shoulder room and 0.7 inches more hip room. Rear-seat passengers will enjoy an extra 2.3 and 1.7 inches more shoulder and hip room, respectively.


• The Atlas Cross Sport provides more utility with 40.3 cubic feet behind the second row-expandable to 77.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. It also boasts a 5,000-pound max tow rating when properly equipped. The Santa Fe has 36.4 cubic feet behind the second row, 72.1 behind the first, and a max tow rating of 3,500 pounds.


• The 2024 Atlas Cross Sport is powered by an upgraded 2.0-liter turbo-four engine with a stout 269 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The Santa Fe's base four-cylinder engine falls behind with 191 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque.


• Every Atlas Cross Sport includes a 12-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel. The Santa Fe has a standard 8-inch touchscreen. And while it offers an optional 10.25-inch infotainment display, it loses wireless smartphone integration.
