Volkswagen Unveils 2027 Atlas Cross Sport and ID. Buzz Camping Edition

Volkswagen has confirmed significant updates to its 2027 vehicle lineup, including the introduction of a redesigned Atlas Cross Sport and the return of the ID. Buzz with a new camping-focused trim.

Atlas Cross Sport: Modern Design and Advanced Tech

The redesigned Atlas Cross Sport is set to debut later in 2025 and will likely be priced lower than its seven-seat Atlas counterpart. While Volkswagen has not disclosed extensive details, the model is expected to share design and interior features with the standard Atlas.

Under the hood, the Atlas Cross Sport is expected to feature a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 282 hp (210 kW / 286 PS) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of torque. It will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations.
