Volkswagen expands Basecamp® accessory line

  • Line now includes custom body kit and unique wheels for Atlas Cross Sport models in addition to Atlas
  • Accessories originally inspired by the Atlas Basecamp concept vehicle and available for Atlas models since 2020
  • Components complement the adaptability of the Atlas family of vehicles

Volkswagen of America, Inc. is pleased to introduce the Basecamp® accessory line for Atlas Cross Sport models, building on the line that has been available for Atlas since 2020. Available individually, or as a complete Basecamp® kit, these custom body-cladding elements create a more rugged overland look. The accessory line also includes unique off-road inspired wheels, that when equipped with all-terrain tires, bolster the versatility of the already capable Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport.

“As consumers and dealers continue to seek SUVs with rugged appearance characteristics, we will continue to offer accessory options that allow them to further personalize their Volkswagen SUV,” said Petar Danilovic, Senior Vice President of Product Marketing and Strategy at Volkswagen of America. “It made sense to expand the line to include Atlas Cross Sport alongside Atlas and the Taos Basecamp styling program.”

First introduced in 2020, the Basecamp accessory line was developed from design elements of the Atlas Basecamp concept, unveiled at the 2019 New York International Auto Show. Produced by Air Design, the Basecamp styling package for Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models includes a two-tone textured black and satin silver front valance, textured matte black flares with integrated splashguards, satin silver side door rocker panels, and satin silver rear valance with trailer hitch access. (The styling package is not recommended for models equipped without a trailer hitch and is not compatible with R-Line trims and Peak Edition models). The complete Atlas kit comes with exclusive front quarter-panel-mounted Basecamp badges that are not offered separately (not available for Atlas Cross Sport.)  

The Basecamp styling components full kit for Atlas has an MSRP of $2,650. For customers that prefer à la carte, the MSRPs are as follows: front valance $680 rear valance $680, side door skid plates $769, and fender flares $645.

Both accessory lines also include the unique 17-inch Traverse MX wheels produced specifically for Volkswagen by fifteen52.  These wheels are available in two colors—frosted graphite and radiant silver—at an MSRP of $315 each. Volkswagen of America recommends 245/70R17 all-terrain tires to complement the design.
