Introducing the Refreshed 2025 Volkswagen Taos: Bold Design, Advanced Technology, and More Power

As we move into 2025, Volkswagen continues to impress with the latest updates to the Taos, offering Duluth drivers a compact SUV that’s as stylish as it is capable. Now available with a refreshed exterior, upgraded technology, and enhanced performance, the 2025 Volkswagen Taos sets a new standard for affordable, fun-to-drive SUVs. Let’s take a closer look at what makes the latest Taos stand out.

A Bold New Look

The 2025 Volkswagen Taos features a bolder front-end design, creating a more expressive and sophisticated appearance. Updates to the exterior include a redesigned bumper and grille, complete with an available light bar. The standard LED projector headlights add a touch of modernity to the front, while the connected taillights and illuminated Volkswagen logo at the rear give the Taos a distinctive, upscale look.

For those who want to make a statement on the road, the Taos now comes in three stunning new colors: Bright Moss Green, Monterey Blue Pearl, and Monument Gray. The refreshed design is complemented by new wheel options, including 17-inch alloys for the S model, 18-inch alloys for the SE, and sleek 19-inch wheels for the SEL. If you’re a fan of the sporty SE Black trim introduced last year, you’ll be glad to know it continues in 2025, featuring unique black roof and trim accents, available in both front-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations.

A Tech-Enhanced Interior

Step inside the 2025 Taos, and you’ll find an even more refined and tech-savvy cabin. A redesigned dashboard now houses a sleek 8-inch floating infotainment display, standard across all models. For drivers seeking a touch of luxury, the SE trim and above offer touch controls for the Climatronic® HVAC system, adding a modern flair to the interior controls.

In terms of comfort, the cabin is quieter than ever, thanks to new acoustic dampening treatments that reduce road noise, making your drives around Duluth more peaceful. The base S model features two-tone black and grey cloth upholstery, while the SE and SE Black trims offer CloudTex and cloth materials in various two-tone options. For a touch of elegance, the SEL trim comes equipped with leather seats, now available in a striking new dark blue hue alongside the classic two-tone black and grey combination.

More Power Under the Hood

The 2025 Taos is not just about looks—it packs more punch under the hood too. The updated 1.5-liter turbocharged engine now delivers 174 horsepower, up from 158 in previous models. This power boost is thanks to refined hardware, including new piston rings, a larger intercooler, and updated fuel injectors, all designed to maximize performance and efficiency.

To make the driving experience even smoother, all-wheel-drive models are now paired with a conventional eight-speed automatic transmission, replacing the seven-speed dual-clutch option from earlier versions. Whether you’re cruising through the city or taking on the highways around Minnesota, the 2025 Taos offers a responsive and enjoyable ride.

Advanced Safety with IQ.DRIVE®

Volkswagen continues to prioritize safety, equipping every 2025 Taos with their sophisticated IQ.DRIVE® suite of driver assistance features. From semi-automated driving assistance with Travel Assist to Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking, the Taos helps keep you safe on the road. Other features include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Lane Assist, and Active Blind Spot Monitoring.

Additionally, the Taos now offers front and rear Park Distance Control, providing guidance when parking in tight spaces—perfect for navigating downtown Duluth’s busy streets.

The refreshed 2025 Volkswagen Taos is set to arrive at VW of Duluth by the end of the year. Whether you’re drawn in by its bold new styling, upgraded tech, or enhanced performance, this compact SUV is ready to meet all your driving needs.
