If you're in the market for a subcompact or compact-sized SUV, you may have noticed that a newcomer has made its way into the Volkswagen product family. The Taos fills a gap in the lineup and is already winning over customers at a rapid pace.
A good buy, then, the Volkswagen Taos? Here are three arguments that help us understand the craze for this model.
The format
What is striking about the Taos is its size. In the introduction, we referred to buyers who might be looking for a sub-compact or compact SUV. And therein lies the nuance. The Taos falls somewhere in between. It's roomier than a subcompact model, but a little smaller than a compact model.
This translates into a frankly impressive maximum cargo volume of 1,866 liters with the seats down. That's the lot of many compact SUVs.
Fuel economy
You've seen the gas prices, as we have. And it doesn't look like it's going to get any better anytime soon. That's another reality that makes the Taos a natural choice, as it's powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine that consumes as little as 6.6 L/100 km on the highway (front-wheel drive model).
Honestly, it's hard to beat that. As a bonus, the little engine offers 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, so you're never at a loss for power.
Volkswagen driving
While there are plenty of SUVs in the subcompact and compact categories, you can count on the fingers of one hand those that offer some driving pleasure. With the Tiguan, you have to understand that it's an automatic, because the Volkswagen DNA is very present with this product.
Connectivity
Finally, because the Taos is the most recent product developed by Volkswagen, it benefits from the latest advances in technology. This is not to be overlooked as we increasingly connect (wirelessly in this case) our devices to our vehicles in order to take advantage of multiple functions when we are on the road.
The Volkswagen Taos is a great addition to the Volkswagen family of products. Positioned below the Tiguan, which has grown in size since its last redesign, and above the Golf GTI and R, it fills a gap in the lineup.
