Meet the New 2022 VW Taos

Volkswagen’s Taos is the German marque’s exciting new entry into the compact crossover segment. This slick-looking SUV offers surprisingly generous space, great gas mileage, and a robust turbocharged powertrain with available all-wheel drive. Here’s your introduction to the all-new 2022 VW Taos!

Basics About the 2022 VW Taos

Engine and Transmission

Motivating the Taos is VW’s newly developed 1.5L TSI 160 engine with turbo power and dual overhead camshafts. Much of the 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque it produces is available at lower revs, so there’s plenty of get-up-and-go when you need it most. Front-wheel drive models pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission while all-wheel drive versions come with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.

The Taos is perfect for daily commuting and those long errand days thanks to an impressive fuel economy of up to an EPA-rated 36 MPG highway.

Available All-Wheel Drive

Every trim comes with the option of choosing the 4Motion all-wheel drive system. Compared with typical AWD systems, it further enhances engine efficiency by diverting appropriate power precisely at the moment any wheel slip is detected. While driving in harsh conditions, you can rest easy knowing that 4Motion is always active and ready. Its multi-plate clutch provides maximum traction through its intelligent power distribution.

Interior and Amenities

Inside the Taos is a well-designed and attractive interior cabin with exquisite build quality, easily accessible controls, and an extensive list of options. Despite its smaller size, there’s an exceptional amount of space with rear passengers enjoying 39.8 inches of headroom and 37.9 inches of legroom. When the rear seats are folded down, you can take advantage of up to 65.9 cubic feet of cargo space.

Available CloudTex or leather upholstery will keep riders cozy on longer trips while available dual-zone climate control with filtration keeps the air fresh. You’ll be able to enhance the mood with the available panoramic sunroof and customizable ambient lighting. For owners with an active outdoor lifestyle, the Taos can also be equipped durable and easy-wash Monster Mats and a high-quality polyester rear seat cover.

Technology

With the VW Digital Cockpit and its available Pro version, the traditional instrument panel has been replaced with a high-resolution screen that makes it easier than ever for the driver to receive information. For example, the driver can customize the screen’s layout to emphasize speed, vehicle stats, or the navigation map.

Either a 6.5-inch or 8-inch touchscreen is used to access the vehicle’s ultra-responsive infotainment system, which is capable of integrating with your smartphone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Fantastic options include SiriusXM radio with 360L, a premium sound system by BeatsAudio, and mobile internet access through the VW Car-Net Wi-Fi hotspot.

Whether you’re dropping off the kids at school or taking the family on a cross-country tour, the VW Taos is ready with its outstanding performance and versatility. Its handsome styling makes it stand out from other vehicles on the road and serves as a reminder of its rugged capability. Get in touch with Tom Bush Volkswagen and schedule your test drive today!
