Three Things to Know about the 2022 Volkswagen Taos

Brand new for 2022, Volkswagen introduces the Taos, an exciting all-new compact SUV that provides a standout design, plenty of space for its size, and precise German engineering. It comfortably seats five and includes plenty of versatile cargo volume to adapt the Taos to every trip. Here, we discuss three of the most important things to know about the Taos. 

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos delivers fuel economy and response

The Taos features a new 1.5-litre turbocharged engine that generates 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Standard 17 or available 18 and 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels channel the power to the ground.

Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive will be available in the model lineup, providing buyers with more drivetrain options. FWD models feature an 8-speed transmission, and AWD models receive a quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. 

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is on top of technology

Each Taos model comes standard with the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit instrument panel. It is a fully customizable high-resolution display that offers much more than traditional readouts. This leads to an optional 8-inch infotainment (6.5-inch standard) screen that bundles vehicle functions, connectivity, entertainment, and more. 

Taos also features safety technologies such as Forward Collision Warning with Autonomous Braking (Front Assist), Active Blind Spot Monitor, Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist), Adaptive Cruise Control, High Beam Control, an Adaptive Front-Lighting System, and Park Distance Control. This extends a peace of mind on every journey. 

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is compact, yet roomy

To compare, the Tiguan is 236 mm longer than Taos. However, that doesn't stop Taos from having 2,817 litres of passenger volume and up to 1,877 litres of cargo volume. Behind the rear seats, you'll find 796 litres. This provides your family the flexibility it needs for its daily lifestyle. 

The Taos adds comfort with standard heated front seats and more safety with LED exterior lighting. Drivers will also be able to benefit from features and amenities such as heated/ventilated front seats, wireless smartphone charging, navigation, 10-colour ambient lighting, 8-speaker BeatsAudio premium sound system and panoramic sunroof and many more features.
