Volkswagen just launched the Taos, a new two-row subcompact SUV. While small in stature, the Taos is big on value, with bold design, smart packaging, and high-end features. The Taos will bring Volkswagen’s philosophy of affordable refinement to the extra-small SUV class that will launch in the summer of 2021.
The Taos, has similar lines to the Tiguan and is 9.3 inches shorter.
There will be three trim levels: S, SE, and SEL. The Taos will be powered by VW’s new 1.5-liter EA211 turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It has 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque paired with either 8-speed automatic and FWD or 7-speed DSG® dual- clutch automatic transmission and 4Motion® all-wheel drive.
The Taos will be loaded with Volkswagen’s The IQ.DRIVE® suite of driver assistance technology. Available on every Taos model, featuring Forward Collision Warning with Autonomous Braking (Front Assist), Active Blind Spot Monitor, Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist), Adaptive Cruise Control with a Stop and Go feature, Travel Assist and Emergency Assist. High Beam Control (Light Assist), the Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), and Park Distance Control are also available.
The Taos will be available in eight colors and four wheel designs—17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are standard, with two 18-inch wheels (machined or black finish) and 19-inch wheels available—and a panoramic sunroof is optional.
Features will include automatic headlights and push-button start; KESSY® keyless access is available, along with an 8-way power driver seat, dual-zone Climatronic® climate control, rain-sensing wipers, a heated leatherette steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, heated side mirrors and heated washer nozzles.
Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit configurable instrument cluster comes standard, as does Volkswagen Car-Net with in-car WiFi capability when you subscribe to a data plan. The MIB3 infotainment system with wireless charging and wireless App-Connect for compatible devices is available from mid-level trims and is paired with an 8-inch touchscreen with voice control, SiriusXM® satellite radio (three-month trial), and available navigation. Top trims add 10-color ambient lighting and a premium BeatsAudio® sound system with 8 speakers.
