Atlas Cross Sport vs Edge: Cabin Space

2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport vs Ford Edge

SUVs are designed for versatility, so having ample room for both passengers and cargo is important when making your decision. Luckily, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport comes with plenty of space, offering seating for up to five passengers. Without interfering with the comfort of you and your riders, there is exceptional room for your belongings. You can expect 112 cubic feet of passenger volume and 77.8 cubic feet of cargo volume when the seats are folded down.

There’s no denying that the Ford Edge has an impressive interior, also offering seating for five riders. However, you’ll find that your ride won’t be quite as comfortable as what you would receive in the Volkswagen. The cargo dimensions are smaller, with only 73.4 cubic feet, making the VW Atlas Cross Sport the superior choice in regard to space and comfort.

SUV Exterior Highlights

Bold and edgy—two words that can be used to describe the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. The exterior of the Volkswagen is showstopping thanks to its sleek curves and modernly styled headlights. Plus, you’ll notice the raked roofline that accentuates the vehicles sporty design. Also enhancing the style in the Volkswagen SUV are the available 21-inch five split-spoke wheels that look sharp in profile.

While the Ford Edge is also a stylish ride, it lacks some of the features that makes the Atlas Cross Sport so eye-catching. Not to mention, you won’t find wheels as large and flashy as the competitor’s, as the Ford Edge maxes out with 20-inch wheels.

Volkswagen vs Ford: Advanced Entertainment & Connectivity Features

As a car shopper in the modern world, you’ll need a vehicle that provides features suited for the times. Luckily, you’ll find that both the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and the Ford Edge provide just that. In the Volkswagen, you’ll find some of the most popular connectivity features, like Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. You’ll also standard features like VW Car-Net®. This VW-exclusive amenity allows you to connect to a mobile app that allows you to control some of the features in your car from anywhere.

In the Ford Edge, you’ll find a similar connectivity feature to the Volkswagen Car-Net® called FordPass Connect™. This feature is a great selling point for the Edge; however, this SUV lacks additional features. While the VW Atlas Cross Sport is available with the 10-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, the Ford Edge has no fully digital instrument panel available.
