See the Difference for Yourself

Select a category below to learn more about how the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport compares to the Hyundai Palisade.

PERFORMANCE

Whether you’re driving through town or hitting the highway, it’s important to have a powerful and reliable powertrain running the show. While both the VW Atlas Cross Sport and the Hyundai Palisade have impressive outputs, only one can be crowned the winner.

Standard Outputs

One of the best things about the VW Atlas Cross Sport is the flexibility it provides. While some drivers might love to pick the model with the highest output, this model knows that different people have varying tastes and needs.

That’s why you can choose between two different powertrains. The standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine provides 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

Choose Your Engine

The available 3.6L V6 engine of the VW Atlas Cross Sport kicks it up a notch and offers more than 270 horsepower and up to 266 lb-ft of torque. While the Hyundai Palisade has a powerful engine, it can’t be swapped out—it’s the only engine offered.

Plus, while it can keep up with the horsepower of the VW Atlas Cross Sport, the Palisade maxes out at 262 lb-ft of torque.

INTERIOR

If you’re looking at 3-row SUVs, chances are you’ve got a big family or you often take road trips with friends. Regardless, it’s important to make sure your whole crew is having a good time as you drive to your destination. That’s why we’re peeking inside these SUVs.

Flexibility

When it comes to their cabins, both models have three rows of seating. However, the seating may be more comfortable in the VW Atlas Cross Sport for several reasons. For instance, it comes with a standard 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, while the Palisade’s standard seat has to be manually adjusted and can only be positioned six different ways.

In addition, only the VW Atlas Cross Sport has standard power-adjustable driver lumbar. The Palisade does offer this feature, but not on the base trim.

Seating Options

When it comes to the material of the seats, you’ll also see differences between the VW Atlas Cross Sport and the Hyundai Palisade. While the Palisade has cloth seats, the VW Atlas Cross Sport has V-Tex leatherette seating.

You’ll also have comfort year-round with the standard heated front seats in the VW Atlas Cross Sport. This is once again a feature that isn’t available on the base Hyundai Palisade.

TECHNOLOGY

Comfort is just one aspect that can enhance the interior. If you really want to make sure your passengers are in a good mood, take a look at the technology featured in the VW Atlas Cross Sport and the Palisade.

Connectivity Features

Technology has multiple benefits to your ride. For example, these features are important for connecting your phone in either model:

  • Apple CarPlay®
  • Android Auto™
  • Wireless Charging

Both models also have touchscreen navigation systems. They also offer available 12-speaker audio systems.

Technology To Keep You Safe

Safety is another area where you’ll find high-tech features. For instance, the VW Atlas Cross Sport offers IQ.Drive, while the Palisade has SmartSense. One feature that will certainly make driving a bit easier is the digital instrument cluster of each SUV.

In the VW Atlas Cross Sport, this is known as the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, which measures eight inches on the standard trim and can be upgraded to 10.25 inches with the VW Digital Cockpit Pro. While the Hyundai Palisade has a digital cluster, it’s rather small at just 4.2 inches.
