Why the 2024 Volkswagen Taos Should Make Your Shortlist

Performance

Numbers don’t lie: The new Taos is an impressive driving machine. While some in-class competitors rely on thirsty engines, the new Taos posts a more-than-respectable estimated Fuel economy up to 28 city / 36 highway. Driving the Taos guarantees you a stable journey on any road, especially when you add in available all-wheel drive. The performance features of the Taos don’t end there. You’ll also enjoy these:

• 8-speed automatic transmission
• Front-wheel drive
• 2.0L TSI® 16-valve DOHC turbo 4-cylinder engine

Technology

What’s in the cabin is just as important to today’s CUV shoppers as what’s under the hood. Volkswagen offers available features and safety systems designed to help you avoid accidents and to protect you and passengers from harm. Smartphone integration and other connectivity features further show that the goal is to enhance the drive rather than to distract from it. The Volkswagen isn’t limited to the above technology features, though. Here are a few more:

• Side Curtain Protection® head airbags, front and rear
• Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning & Autonomous Emergency Braking w/ Pedestrian Monitoring)
• App-Connect® smartphone integration (for compatible devices) via USB

Design

It’s not easy to be as sleek as a sedan and as adaptable as an SUV, but the new Taos makes it look that way. There’s enough room for everything you need in this model thanks to a generous 66 cu ft of cargo space, and the interior is flexible so you pack the way you want. This spaciousness is only bested by premium in-cabin seating arrangements. There are additional design features and options for this model, including:

• Coming/Leaving Home feature
• Leather-wrapped gearshift knob
• Automatic, LED headlights & LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
