Compare the 2025 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SE vs SEL - Orlando, FL

The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport makes a stylish return for the 2025 model year, offering two well-equipped trims: the SE and SEL. Both provide a comfortable and refined driving experience with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and everyday usability. While similar in many ways, each trim offers unique highlights worth exploring before you choose the right one for you.

Performance

Under the hood, both the SE and SEL trims are powered by a turbocharged engine producing 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This setup is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth gear changes across the lineup. What sets the SEL apart is its standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive with active control, offering enhanced stability and traction. While the SE delivers confident performance on its own, the SEL adds an extra layer of control for varying road conditions.

Appearance

Volkswagen continues its tradition of giving even entry-level buyers excellent design and value. The SE trim includes 18-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires, automatic LED headlights and daytime running lights, and sleek silver roof rails. Meanwhile, the SEL trim elevates the exterior with 20-inch machined alloy wheels, a panoramic sliding sunroof, and an integrated trailer hitch. Both trims showcase the modern, athletic design of the Atlas Cross Sport, including stylish accents like a blacked-out grille with LED surround lighting and privacy-tinted rear windows.

Features

Inside, the Atlas Cross Sport delivers premium comfort and advanced tech. The SE features V-Tex leatherette seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated and ventilated front seats. The SEL enhances the interior with genuine leather upholstery, a 12-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation, and a heated second-row bench. Both trims come standard with a suite of driver assistance technologies such as Front Assist, Lane Assist, Emergency Assist, and Travel Assist. Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit Pro also comes standard, giving you a customizable digital display for key driving data. For added convenience, the SEL includes Park Distance Control for both the front and rear.
