When you step into our showroom at Leesburg Volkswagen, one of the first things we point out is how well-balanced the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport feels. The base curb weight is around 4,341 pounds. Of course, weight can vary depending on whether the vehicle is front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and depending on the trim and added equipment. A model with AWD and extra features will weigh a bit more but still will handle crisply.

Because of that curb weight, the Atlas Cross Sport delivers a solid feel on the road without being too heavy for everyday driving. It also contributes to its towing capacity when properly equipped, while still maintaining decent fuel efficiency and handling.

• Curb weight approx. 4,341 lbs
• Variation by drivetrain (FWD vs AWD) and trim
• Weight supports confident road manners and towing capability

We measure the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport at about 195.5 inches in overall length. That length gives you a strong presence on the road while still being maneuverable enough for parking lots and tighter city environments. Because the Cross Sport is built with two rows instead of three, we can keep the length more compact compared to the full Atlas, which helps with agility without sacrificing cargo space too much.

Whether pulling into your driveway, navigating parking structures, or lining up in traffic, we find that this length hits a sweet spot—giving you versatility without feeling oversized.

• Overall length approx. 195.5 in
• Shorter than the full three-row Atlas, offering better maneuverability
• Length helps balance interior space and exterior practicality

From side to side (excluding mirrors), the width of the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is roughly 78.3 inches. That helps give the cabin good shoulder room for both front and second-row occupants. With mirrors, the overall width expands, so when you’re thinking about garage space or tight parking, remember the mirrors will extend beyond the body width.

This width contributes to a stable feel in corners and highway driving. In addition, the stance helps balance comfort and control, so it doesn’t feel overly bulky despite its SUV proportions.

• Width without mirrors approx. 78.3 in
• Mirror width adds extra footprint for parking-garage consideration
• Offers generous shoulder room for occupants

When you come in to Leesburg Volkswagen and sit inside the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, you’ll notice it offers seating for up to five people. We offer two rows only—driver plus front passenger in the first row, and three across in the second row. The design emphasizes comfort for those five occupants, with roomy front legroom and second-row room for adults or kids.

Since there is no third row, we trade that extra seat row for increased cargo flexibility. The folded-seat storage options allow you to maximize space without losing seating when you need it. That makes the Cross Sport ideal if you prioritize passenger comfort and cargo usability over maximum seating count.

• Seats up to 5 passengers
• Two rows of seating
• Good front and second-row room for adult passengers
• Fold-flat rear seats for added storage flexibility
