Introducing the 2025 Volkswagen Taos: Compact SUV with Big Features

Power and Performance

Propping up the Taos’ hood reveals a 1.5L turbo four-cylinder engine that pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Along with a healthy output of 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, the engine uses auto start/stop technology to deliver an EPA-rated fuel economy of up to 36 MPG highway. It’s a fantastic balance between power and efficiency.

When it comes to achieving responsive and nimble handling, the Taos is no slouch, either. That’s thanks to its MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension, which has been tuned to be rigid enough for excellent stability while being able to provide a plush riding experience. For unbelievable traction in slippery or rugged conditions, buyers can opt for the 4MOTION AWD system.

Passenger Cabin

The Taos is Volkswagen’s smallest SUV, but there’s plenty of room for passengers and cargo inside its sleek, ultra-modern interior. Front and rear legroom is an impressive 40.1 and 37.9 inches, respectively, plus you’ll find close to 28 cubic feet of space in the cargo hold. While premium cloth-wrapped seats are standard on the base Taos S, CloudTex leatherette or genuine leather upholstery is available on higher trims.

A heated steering wheel is featured on every Taos, and most trims are equipped with a Climatronic Touch dual-zone climate control system with air filtration and heated front seats. With so many top-notch features like these, you’ll have an easy timing staying cozy in any type of weather.

Technology

Drivers will be able to view a wealth of information, from vehicle stats to navigation directions, with the help of the Taos’ VW Digital Cockpit. This system comes in the form of a fully digital and highly configurable instrument panel. Complementing it is an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen that allows you to access smartphone integration and Bluetooth connectivity. Along with a total of three USB-C ports, almost every Taos features a wireless charging station.

Safety

Even in its most basic form, the Taos boasts a slew of standard driver assists. This includes forward collisions warnings with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts. In the event of an unavoidable collision, a comprehensive airbag system with side curtain airbags and an airbag restraint system for front passengers provides great peace of mind.
