The Volkswagen Taos made its debut in the United States in October 2020 and has since revolutionized the car shopping experience for compact SUV buyers. Featuring the 2024 Volkswagen Taos, a more powerful, compact, and easier-to-handle SUV than its predecessor. Parallel parking on the streets of Horseshoe Bay, TX never was so simple before this new and improved Taos model. Check out all the features that make the new Volkswagen Taos stand out in the 2024 market.
Engine & Performance
While you might think a small SUV will have a small engine, the VW Taos engine delivers more power than you might guess. It comes with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 184 pounds of torque and 158 horsepower. With an engine like this, you can expect the VW Taos to go from zero to 60 in just a few seconds.
The Taos comes with 4MOTION all-wheel drive. This divides the power evenly between the front and back of the SUV to give you more traction and keep your wheels from spinning. The seven-speed automatic transmission gives you an easy way to shift between settings. This transmission works great with driving modes like snow and off-road.
Interior
Compact SUVs are smaller in size compared to their larger counterparts, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces and navigate through city traffic. They strike a balance between spaciousness and agility, making them suitable for urban driving in places like Killeen, TX.
Buying the new Taos gives you the choice between a base model or one of the trims with leather accents and a heated steering wheel. Inside is more headroom and legroom than other subcompact SUVs have, as well as more cargo room. The front-wheel drive Taos lets you fold the rear seats and get 65.9 cubic feet of storage room, while the all-wheel drive model has slightly less cargo space to make room for more capabilities. Other available features include heated leather seats, ventilated seats, a 12-volt power outlet, and a panoramic sunroof. All the new Taos SUVs have seating for five.
Tech
Buying a new VW Taos gives you a digital cockpit that makes driving a little more fun. You can even pick what information you want to see as you drive. Right under your control panel is a small area offering optional wireless charging compatible with most devices. You'll get a free trial of SiriusXM® as well as App Connect, which helps you use your phone on your touchscreen. The Taos has a 6.5-inch touchscreen with the base trim, but you can opt for an eight-inch touchscreen by purchasing a higher trim. Both work with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. You can download the VW Car-Net® Hotspot to create a Wi-Fi hotspot, too.
Safety
Download VW Car-Net® Safe & Secure to get some extra protection for your VW Taos. Though it requires a subscription, it gives you remote access to your SUV and helps you find parking spots. It even sends you help if you happen to break down. IQ.DRIVE also comes standard, with a host of safety features like Rear Traffic Alert, Active Blind Spot Monitor, Lane Assist, and Driver Assist. With the new VW Taos, you'll also have access to driver assistance tools like Light Assist and Dynamic Road Sign Display.
