If you've been searching for a 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SEL Premium 4MOTION for sale in Kent, WA, your search ends here. North West Auto Empire has this striking red Atlas Cross Sport in stock and ready for a test drive — a top-trim two-row SUV that delivers European refinement, genuine all-weather capability, and a commanding presence on the road. With 55,083 miles on the odometer, this is a well-maintained example of one of Volkswagen's most capable and feature-rich crossovers, priced for buyers who want premium without the new-car premium price tag.

About This 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport

The Atlas Cross Sport is the sleeker, sportier sibling of the three-row Atlas, offering a fastback roofline and a more driver-focused stance without sacrificing interior space or capability. The SEL Premium is the highest trim level Volkswagen offered on the Atlas Cross Sport, meaning this vehicle left the factory with virtually every available feature. At just over 55,000 miles, this SUV is well within its prime ownership years — VW's 3.6-liter V6 engine and robust 4MOTION AWD system are built to go well past 150,000 miles with regular maintenance. The bold red exterior gives it real road presence, and the condition of a well-kept SEL Premium speaks for itself.

2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Performance and Engine

V6 Power Meets Intelligent AWD

Under the hood sits Volkswagen's 3.6-liter V6 engine, producing 276 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque — giving this Atlas Cross Sport confident, effortless acceleration whether you're merging onto I-5 through Kent or climbing SR-18 toward the Cascades. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual mode, gear changes are smooth, responsive, and driver-selectable when you want more control.

The 4MOTION all-wheel drive system is Volkswagen's proven electronically-controlled AWD setup, continuously monitoring road conditions and distributing torque between the front and rear axles. For Pacific Northwest drivers dealing with rain-slicked roads in the Kent Valley, icy overpasses in Auburn, or weekend trips into the Cascades, 4MOTION provides the kind of confident traction that rear-wheel and even some lesser AWD systems simply can't match.

Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Features and Interior

SEL Premium — The Highest Trim Has Everything

The SEL Premium trim represents the full expression of what Volkswagen intended for the Atlas Cross Sport. Buyers can expect a panoramic sunroof, leather-appointed seating with front-seat heating and ventilation, a heated steering wheel, and three-zone automatic climate control. The infotainment system features a large touchscreen with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto integration, while a premium sound system elevates every commute.

Driver assistance technology on the SEL Premium is comprehensive — adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear traffic alert, park distance control, and a surround-view camera system make this one of the more tech-forward vehicles in its class. The two-row layout gives rear passengers genuinely adult-sized legroom, and cargo capacity behind the second row is among the most generous in the segment.

Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say

The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport earned strong marks from owners for its comfortable ride quality, intuitive interior layout, and the confidence-inspiring nature of its AWD system in adverse weather. The 3.6-liter V6 is widely regarded as one of the more robust powerplants VW has offered in the U.S. market — it's the same engine family used across multiple VW and Audi platforms and has a well-documented track record of longevity.

As with any Volkswagen, staying current on oil changes, transmission fluid, and DSG or automatic transmission service intervals is important. At 55,083 miles, this Atlas Cross Sport is past its initial break-in period and entering what many technicians consider the most reliable phase of a vehicle's life — past the point of early manufacturing gremlins but still well short of high-wear territory. Buyers coming from domestic trucks or Japanese crossovers often note that the Atlas drives with a solidity and composure that feels a class above its price point.
