Performance
With its sporty design, expect no less than incredible performance when you drive the Atlas Cross Sport. Two engines are available, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 235 horsepower and a stronger 276-horsepower 3.6-liter V6. Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which shifts quietly at all speeds.
Both front-wheel and all-wheel-drive powertrains are available, so whether you're cruising around Dublin or exploring off-road trails, this vehicle handles well in both scenarios. Choosing the all-wheel-drive setup gives you the 4Motion multi-mode terrain management system, which has different modes specifically for handling snow, highways and off-road driving. As for towing, you can haul a trailer with up to 5,000 pounds of cargo on it when opting for the V6 engine.
Design
The cabin has been designed with both style and comfort in mind and offers features such as heated, power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control and stitched door panels. There's plenty of space available, as well, with 40.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and a 60/40 split-folding seat that can be quickly adapted to accommodate either passengers or cargo.
With a four-door design, the exterior of the vehicle has sleek curves from front to back that give it a stylish, modern look that's enhanced by its distinctive LED lighting and wide grille. With multiple trim levels available, the SEL R-Line Black option is a clear standout, as it comes with darker-looking features for a more aggressive appearance, including blacked-out mirror caps and black accents around the headlights and taillights.
Technology
For entertainment needs, both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration comes standard with the vehicle's infotainment system, allowing you to connect smartphones to it wirelessly while controlling music, phone calls and apps with either voice commands or the full-color touchscreen display.
The available navigation feature also allows for voice control, so you can keep your hands on the steering wheel while getting turn-by-turn directions around Fort Valley or when driving through unfamiliar areas. If anyone in the cabin needs to check their emails, they can do so with the optional Wi-Fi hotspot feature, which can be used with multiple devices at the same time.
Safety
To make travel throughout the Warner Robins area safer, a suite of safety features come standard with the Atlas Cross Sport, including Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning and Blind Spot Monitoring, both of which can alert you to other vehicles nearby to avoid collisions.
For longer drives, when you want to take some pressure off your legs, the available adaptive cruise control feature can take over braking and accelerating to adapt the vehicle's speed to the flow of traffic while also maintaining your preferred speed when possible. Parking lots can be safer, too, with available rear and front parking sensors, which can sound audible alerts when you're approaching or reversing toward other vehicles at lower speeds.
