How the 2023 Volkswagen Taos Compares to Other Crossovers

Smooth surfaces and subtle curves adorn the VW Taos, a stylish, compact SUV that doesn’t need to go big to be bold. Pack up the roomy interior of Taos and take it where you want. From tennis courts and golf courses to mountaintops and ski slopes, it has the versatility you want out of your CUV. The Taos display is a true breakthrough. Instead of the traditional instrument cluster, information can be displayed digitally in high resolution. Available customization with the VW Digital Cockpit Pro allows you to select what’s displayed, from speed and travel time to route guidance, assistance systems, and elevation. Its innovative features include enhanced sound. Available SiriusXM with 360L⁠ curates a personalized experience for every driver and when amplified by the available BeatsAudio®, a producer’s dream, a ride in your new VW becomes a studio session

The Taos is designed to make your daily driving experience a joy, and with the available 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive and a turbocharged engine, it’s ready to handle the not so everyday, too. Because driving conditions aren’t always perfect, the 4MOTION® AWD is there to distribute power between the front and rear wheels as needed to help optimize traction, stability, and your happiness and safety. With the turn of a dial, you can switch between four different available all-wheel-drive modes to the one that fits your current driving situation: Snow Mode, On-Road Mode, Off-Road Mode and Off-Road Custom Mode. When you need to bring on a smile in 0 to 60, the Taos and its 1.5L turbocharged engine with 158 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque delivers the right kind of eye-widening power you need. You’ll love zipping around in your Taos thanks to the dynamic capability of the available 7-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission that readies each gear for fast, smooth, and efficient shifting. Safety is a core value to VW and we are sure it is the same for you. While we can’t predict everything you might encounter, we can and do spend long hours trying to help you prepare for it. That is why Taos comes with an array of safety features with what is most important in mind–you and your passengers.

Taos, made with you and your happiness in mind. Enjoy.
