We're not impressed. Are you? The all-new 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport never had a chance against the new 2024 Honda CR-V, which is surprising considering its much higher starting MSRP.1,2 The Honda CR-V is the only one of the two that offers a hybrid powertrain: a 2.0-liter direct-injection Atkinson engine paired with an electric motor and e-CVT. Both SUVs offer all-wheel drive on higher trims, but we'd like to point out a major flaw in the power tailgate on the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. Its optional Hands-free Easy Open and Close remote power rear liftgate may sound fancy, but it lacks one thing: a programmable height setting. The Honda CR-V model's optional power tailgate can be configured to the driver's height, ensuring no discrimination against taller drivers (for example, the tailgate will open higher to prevent a head smack in the middle of a parking lot). And finally, the maximum cargo volume between the two SUVs is negligible, but there's a 4,000-mile difference between coverage in complimentary maintenance,3,4 which, for perspective, can equal a round-trip from coast to coast of the United States. We think we'll go with the new 2024 Honda CR-V.
