Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport than in the Volkswagen ID.4. The Volkswagen ID.4 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Dimensions
Since the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is much wider than the Volkswagen ID.4, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport has a significantly larger turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is clearly the choice over the Volkswagen ID.4 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen ID.4.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and the Volkswagen ID.4. The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volkswagen ID.4.
