Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport keeps an estimated 53% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #460 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport retains an estimated 53% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #460 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class by 11 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport sheds about 8% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $38,300 it falls to around $20,222 by year five — a five-year loss near $18,078, about $9.91 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
