The VW Taos: Picking the Perfect Trim Package

2022 Volkswagen Taos

Breaking Down the Different Trim Levels on the 2022 Volkswagen Taos

If you’ve ever browsed new or used cars for sale, you’ve probably heard the term “trim package” used once or twice during the shopping process. For those not familiar with that term, a trim package refers to the equipment and features that come with the car. To cite an example of that, the ever-popular Volkswagen Tiguan comes in five distinct trim levels. The VW Atlas and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport have multiple trim levels as well. Trim levels are a way for consumers to get the features and benefits they want out of a car without paying for things they don’t foresee needing. As you’d expect, the higher the trim level, the higher the price. Regarding the all-new 2022 Volkswagen Taos, the same formula with trims applies as the other vehicles previously mentioned. The Taos comes in three distinct trim levels, starting with the base model S, then elevating to the SE, and then topping out with the ultra-luxurious SEL trim level that includes everything. So that you can get familiar with trim levels and the difference between them, we’re going to break down all three for the 2022 VW Taos starting with the S and then working our way up to the SEL. We’ll make sure to note when a feature is included that wasn’t included on a previous version so it’s nice and easy to track.
