The All New Volkswagen Taos

Updates introduced for the previous model year improve durability and efficiency, including revised internal components, a larger intercooler, and a modified turbo housing. 

EPA estimates reach up to 31 mpg combined for front-wheel-drive models, making Taos a strong option for buyers balancing power and fuel economy in the compact SUV class.

Higher trims add features such as the 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro, navigation, wireless charging up to 15W, and a premium eight-speaker VW audio system on SEL models. 

USB-C ports with 45-watt fast charging, available SiriusXM® with 360L, and VW connected services help keep drivers and passengers connected on daily commutes or longer trips.

Models like the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-30 are frequent alternatives buyers consider alongside the Taos-HR-V offers a more traditional non-turbo 2.0-liter engine and available AWD, while the CX-30 tends to be praised for handling and a more engaging drive feel. 

The Subaru Crosstrek, with its rugged styling and standard AWD, also draws attention for buyers who prioritize traction and outdoor capability. 

These compact SUVs compete on price, fuel economy, cargo and tech features in the same general range as Taos.
