What to Weigh Before Buying

Trim selection changes the Atlas Cross Sport's engine configuration, fuel economy, towing capacity, and fuel requirement. Four-cylinder trims offer 235 horsepower and 2,000 pounds of maximum towing where specified, while V6 trims provide 276 horsepower and can reach 5,000 pounds of maximum towing on designated trims.

Consider how often towing matters, whether premium unleaded recommended or regular unleaded better suits the chosen trim, and how the $32,755-to-$50,025 MSRP range fits the purchase plan. The five-seat layout and 40.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats also make this SUV worth comparing with other midsize crossovers, including the Ford Edge, by seating layout, powertrain choice, and towing needs rather than price alone.
