The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is Practical and Efficient

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is a very efficient and practical subcompact SUV that gives you the space, the technologies and the fuel economy you want.

A very practical side

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos benefits from the one of the largest cabins in the subcompact SUV segment, which makes it more comfortable and more practical than its competitors. Indeed, the Toas offers you up to 790 liters of cargo space when the rear seats are in use, which gives you the ability to transport five passengers and their luggage. If you need to carry very long items, such as skis, there is a convenient pass-through behind the center armrest. For bulkier loads, the rear seat folds in a 60/40 split in order to reveal up to 1,866 liters of cargo space.

To make driving on slippery roads safer, the 2022 Volkswagen Taos is available with the competent 4Motion all-wheel drive system that uses sensors to detect wheelspin and engage the rear axle only when it is needed, thus reducing wear and fuel consumption.

A very efficient package

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles of its category due to its modern powertrains and advanced technologies. The Taos is powered by a new, 1.5L turbocharged engine that delivers 158 horsepower and 184 ft-lb of torque. In addition to being one of the most powerful engine in its class, it benefits from the most torque and it reaches its maximum figure at a low 1,750 engine rpms, which makes from quick and smooth accelerations and a more dynamic feel around town.

Furthermore, this engine is paired to a choice of two advanced transmissions: the standard 8-speed automatic or the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic that is included with all-wheel drive. Both of these units are engineered to make the most of the engine, allowing it to burn only 6.6 L/100 km on the highway.
