Meet the Redesigned 2025 Volkswagen Taos

You can purchase the 2025 Volkswagen Taos in four trim: the S, SE, SE Black, and SEL. The redesigned front bumper, grille, and LED headlights will garner attention. Standard exterior features include rain-sensing windshield wipers, black roof rails, foldable power-adjustable side mirrors, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Higher trims add heated washer nozzles, silver roof rails, heated side mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, and 18- or 19-inch wheels. The Taos’s range of exterior color options includes Monterey Blue Pearl, Platinum Gray Metallic, Pyrite Silver Metallic, Deep Black Pearl, and Pure White, each guaranteed to turn heads on the road.

Performance and Powertrains

Each trim level features a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 177 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard and matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission for a smooth drive. All-wheel drive (AWD) is available for better traction and control over various surfaces and features a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. You’ll enjoy the EPA-estimated 36 mpg for highway driving and 28 mpg on city streets, keeping you on the road and away from the pumps longer.

Volkswagen Taos Exterior Dimensions

The height and wheelbase dimensions vary based on the drivetrain: the FWD model features a 64.4-inch height and retains the 105.9-inch wheelbase, while the 4MOTION AWD version stands slightly taller at 65.1 inches with a somewhat shorter 105.5-inch wheelbase.

Upgrades for higher trims include heated and power-adjustable front seats, keyless entry, wireless charging, six-speaker stereo, and additional USB ports.

The Volkswagen Taos may have compact exterior dimensions, but its interior is spacious and versatile. This SUV comfortably seats five occupants and offers up to 99.5 cubic feet of passenger volume in models without a sunroof, with only a slight reduction of 2.8 cubic feet when a sunroof is added. Cargo space in the 2024 Taos is equally notable. FWD models provide 27.9 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats upright and 65.9 cubic feet when folded.

Comparative Analysis With Main Competitors

Let’s compare the Volkswagen Taos’s cargo and passenger space against its top competitors.

Volkswagen Taos vs. Mazda CX-30

One of the Volkswagen Taos’s standout advantages is its superior interior space. With 99.5 cubic feet of passenger volume and 27.9 cubic feet of cargo space, it significantly outshines the Mazda CX-30, which offers 94.1 cubic feet of passenger volume and 20.2 cubic feet of cargo capacity. This added space provides rear passengers with more legroom and offers greater utility for luggage, gear, and daily essentials as you drive around Clearwater, Florida.

Volkswagen Taos vs. Buick Envista

The Volkswagen Taos excels in interior space, offering 27.9 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row and up to 65.9 cubic feet with the seats folded down. This far surpasses the Envista’s 20.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity. With its smart design and efficient packaging, the Taos provides more headroom and rear legroom. While the Envista emphasizes a sleek, coupe-inspired aesthetic, the Taos perfectly balances style and practicality, ensuring greater functionality for you and your passengers.
