The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Execline is the top-trim version of VW’s stylish two-row midsize SUV. Based on the larger three-row Atlas, the Cross Sport offers a sleeker, more coupe-like profile while still delivering generous interior space, confident performance, and a long list of premium features. The Execline trim represents the most luxurious and fully equipped configuration available for this model year.
