2024 VW Atlas Cross Sport Interior Review: Taking steps forward and backward
Volkswagen interiors are a contentious point of concern these days. The company went all-in on a new minimalistic theme that eschewed buttons, fully embraced an all-new infotainment system and generally looked futuristic. As you probably already know, it was not met with praise to say the least. From the infuriating unlit temp and volume sliders, to a slow and poorly laid out touchscreen user interface, the cabin controls were bad enough to be a dealbreaker for many. Thankfully, Volkswagen has now backtracked and is making big, largely successful changes by reintroducing buttons among other «illuminating» updates in the pursuit of making the new interiors user-friendly. Now, you might be thinking that since the2024 Volkswagen Atlas and its two-row Atlas Cross Sport sibling were significantly updated for 2024 that they'd be getting those same course-correcting updates. That'd be a no, as the Atlas launched before the first new VW introduced with its new interface, the ID.7. Still, it's a shame that other 2024 model year VWs get the new system, most notably the ID.4, and the 2024 Atlas doesn't.
