It’s been a bad week for VW’s secrets department but this time the leak is of a production version of the Atlas Cross Sport.

It should be said, here, that while Chattanooga supplies most of the world with Atlases, China makes its own. So it’s not 100% certain (even if this photo is legit) that this is the Atlas Cross Sport and not mildly different China-only Teramont variant.
