Volkswagen Taos FAQs
What is the VW Taos?
The Volkswagen Taos is a five-passenger compact SUV and the smallest SUV in the Volkswagen lineup, positioned below the Tiguan and the Atlas. Every Taos is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 174 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and 4MOTION all-wheel drive is available. The Taos is offered in S, SE, and SEL trims, with appearance-focused versions such as SE Black available in some model years. IQ.DRIVE driver assistance technology, the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, and wireless App-Connect for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the lineup.
What's the difference between the VW Taos and VW Tiguan?
The Tiguan is the larger of the two SUVs. It is roughly eight inches longer than the Taos and uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, while the Taos uses a smaller turbocharged 1.5-liter engine. Both are two-row SUVs that seat five people, and both offer 4MOTION all-wheel drive. The Tiguan holds more cargo with the rear seats folded and offers a broader list of available comfort and technology features, including a larger center touchscreen. The Taos has a shorter overall length, which makes it easier to park and maneuver in tight spaces, and it carries a lower starting point in the lineup. Shoppers who need seating for more than five should look at the Volkswagen Atlas.
What's the difference between the VW Taos S, SE, and SEL trims?
All Taos trims share the same turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and eight-speed automatic transmission, so the differences come down to wheels, comfort features, and technology. The S is the entry trim and includes alloy wheels, LED headlights, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless App-Connect, the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, and the full IQ.DRIVE suite of driver assistance features. The SE steps up to larger wheels and adds convenience equipment such as heated front seats, remote start, keyless access with push-button start, and a power driver seat. The SEL is the top trim and adds items such as leather seating surfaces, heated and ventilated front seats, a larger digital driver display, a panoramic sunroof, a premium audio system, and standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive is standard on S and SE, with 4MOTION offered as an option on both.
How much cargo space does the VW Taos have?
Front-wheel-drive Taos models offer 27.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 65.9 cubic feet with the second row folded down. Models equipped with 4MOTION all-wheel drive offer 24.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 60.2 cubic feet with the second row folded, because the rear driveline components take up a small amount of underfloor space. The rear seatbacks split and fold in a 60/40 configuration, so longer items can be carried while a rear passenger stays seated.
Does the VW Taos have all-wheel drive?
Yes. 4MOTION all-wheel drive is available on the Taos and comes standard on the SEL trim. On the S and SE trims, front-wheel drive is standard and 4MOTION is an available option. The system operates primarily in front-wheel drive during normal driving and sends torque to the rear wheels when it detects wheel slip or conditions that call for added traction. Choosing 4MOTION also changes the transmission calibration and slightly reduces cargo volume compared with a front-wheel-drive Taos.
Who is the VW Taos best suited for?
The Taos fits commuters, small families, and first-time SUV buyers who want SUV seating height and cargo flexibility without a large vehicle footprint. Its compact length is an advantage in the parking garages, street parking, and older lots common around Hardeeville, and the available 4MOTION all-wheel drive adds traction for wet roads, snow, and gravel. The Taos is also a practical choice for shoppers cross-shopping vehicles like the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Mazda CX-30. Drivers who regularly carry more than five passengers, tow, or need maximum cargo volume are usually better served by the Volkswagen Tiguan or Atlas.
Are lease offers available for the VW Taos?
Yes. Lease and finance offers on the Volkswagen Taos are available and change regularly as Volkswagen releases new national and regional programs. Current offers can be found on the Volkswagen Taos specials page, which is updated as programs change. Terms and eligibility depend on model year, trim, credit approval, and region, so contact AutoNation Volkswagen Hilton Head to confirm which offers apply to the vehicle you are considering. Additional offers that are not advertised online may also be available.
What should I do if I see the VW Taos I want online?
Call the sales team at AutoNation Volkswagen Hilton Head to confirm the vehicle is still available and to schedule a test drive. Have the stock number or VIN from the listing ready, since inventory moves quickly and specific trims and colors are not always in stock. Before your appointment, you can get pre-qualified for financing and get a quote on your current vehicle online. Completing both steps in advance means your trade value and financing terms are already in hand when you arrive, which shortens the time spent at the dealership.
