Six Reasons the Volkswagen Taos is Right for You
The Volkswagen Taos caused quite the stir once it debuted and subsequently launched in a crowded subcompact SUV segment. Rather than break down all the technical reasons why drivers should opt for the Volkswagen Taos, we’d rather showcase a few things to love about the model. Read on to find out what makes the Volkswagen Taos an excellent choice in the subcompact crossover segment. Before getting into the nitty gritty details, buyers should know Volkswagen offers its Taos model in three different trim levels—S, SE, and SEL. All three trims are powered by an economical 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that generates 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.
Ample Cargo Room
While subcompact SUVs aren’t well known for offering buyers ample cargo room, the Volkswagen Taos defies the odds and gives buyers more than enough room as it sits near the top of the class. With the rear seats folded down, buyers can enjoy up to 65.9 cubic feet of cargo room.
Complimentary Maintenance Plan
Like several other competitors, Volkswagen offers complimentary maintenance plans with the purchase of a new Volkswagen vehicle. Ensuring buyers can get the best experience possible from their new vehicles, Volkswagen offers two years of maintenance or up to 20,000 miles, whichever comes first. Complimentary maintenance includes oil changes, tire rotations, top offs and more.
Optional 4Motion All-wheel Drive
While this feature is an optional upgrade, Volkswagen Taos SUVs equipped with the 4Motion all-wheel drive powertrain offer drivers up to four driving modes. Driving modes include customizable on- and off-road options. Traditionally, subcompact SUVs tend to avoid all-wheel drive altogether, meaning the Volkswagen Taos is ahead of the pack thanks to this available powertrain.
Safety First
Advanced safety tech features are some of the most sought after features when it comes to purchasing a new vehicle. The 2023 Volkswagen Taos is no exception and includes Emergency Assist, a system capable of monitoring the driver and bringing the Taos to a halt if the system believes the driver to be incapacitated. The system is optional on the base S trim, but comes standard on the SE and SEL trims.
Bonafide European Driving Manners
Buyers looking for an SUV that’s different from American, Korean, and Japanese crossovers should look no further than the Volkswagen Taos. It remains the only German entry into the subcompact segment, making the Taos unique as the only SUV with European driving manners.
Design Borrowed From Audi
With features such as a Digital Cockpit, Volkswagen is borrowing from sister-brand Audi and adding a few luxurious touches to the Taos. Sharing advanced tech, platforms and other features is possible for the two brands because both are part of Volkswagen Group. Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit is a user-configurable feature complete with an all-digital instrument cluster.
