4. Lots of legroom in both rows

There is plenty of room in both rows, with an especially expansive back seat.

5. Pulling power 

The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport can also tow heavy payloads, which can come in handy if you need to bring along a trailer, a fishing boat, or a couple of motorcycles on your next trip. With the 3.6L V6 engine, the Atlas Cross Sport can tow an estimated 5,000 lbs when properly equipped.

This ability is just another one in the series of different uses the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is good for and justifies the versatility label it often gets.
