The 2024 Volkswagen Taos received the prestigious Car and Driver Editor’s Choice award. Explore the five best reasons to bring home this cool compact SUV now.
1. Generous Space
The Taos has plenty of room to stretch out, with class-leading passenger and cargo space. You’ll find comfortable seating for five and nearly 28 cubic feet behind the rear seats. Second-row passengers have almost 38 inches of legroom: only slightly less than the larger VW Tiguan.
The 60/40 split-folding second row lets you expand the trunk to a maximum of 66 cubic feet. Roof rails are available to give you even more room for your gear. Customize this car with smart available accessories like a kayak carrier.
2. Fun Driving Dynamics
The Taos features a peppy turbo-four that gets 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission. You’ll also get impressive fuel economy of up to 36 highway miles per gallon. This crossover comes standard with electric power steering and an efficient engine stop-start feature.
The Taos comes with standard front-wheel or available 4MOTION all-wheel drive. The latter incorporates Active Control with selectable On-Road, Off-Road, Snow, and Off-Road Custom modes. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with an upgraded rear suspension is also available. Stick with the standard 17-inch wheels or enhance your experience with available 18-inch or 19-inch wheels.
3. Standard IQ.DRIVE
Every Taos model comes with the IQ.DRIVE package of driver assistance tech. This feature suite includes Lane Assist, Emergency Assist, Front Assist, Rear Traffic Alert, Active Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Travel Assist. Available driver assistance features on higher Taos trims include Light Assist, Parking Distance Control, and Dynamic Road Sign Display.
4. Up-to-the-Minute Tech
The Taos showcases an 8-inch Digital Cockpit instrument display paired with either a 6.5-inch or 8-inch touchscreen. You’ll have standard App-Connect, which gives you access to your smartphone with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and dual front USB ports. HD radio, wireless charging, and dual rear USB ports are also available.
5. Premium Cabin Amenities
The Taos is well-appointed with standard interior features like two-tone cloth SofTex upholstery, a heated steering wheel, push-button start, and a leather-wrapped shift knob. Higher trims add upgrades such as full SofTex or leather upholstery, ambient interior LED lighting, heated and power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power panoramic sunroof. Keyless access and remote start are also available. Don’t miss the Taos if you want a versatile, value-packed small SUV. Consider the new-for-2024 SE Black trim to add sophisticated styling elements like blue interior contrast stitching and black spoiler, mirror caps, A-pillar, and roof.
