Refined and nicely equipped accommodations, capable driving dynamics, and bold yet sophisticated styling make Volkswagen SUVs appealing choices in their segments. The VW Taos delivers all the attributes owners love about their VW SUV, distilling it into a nimbler package with smaller space requirements. One of the most recent additions to the VW lineup, the Taos is a compact crossover with surprisingly spacious accommodations, flexible cargo capacity, and impressive efficiency.

The VW Taos is a great pick for New Jersey drivers seeking excellent daily-driver practicality in a conveniently sized package. And it's available here at Ciocca Volkswagen of Flemington.

Performance

The VW Taos turns its wheels with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine making 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. A quick and precise eight-speed automatic transmission keeps power in the ideal rev range for optimal responsiveness and efficiency. Purposeful suspension tuning keeps the Taos settled through curves and corners while neatly absorbing road imperfections for a smooth ride. Are you seeking a utility vehicle with enhanced handling and control for all New Jersey seasons? VW's 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system can be optioned on any trim level and comes bundled with upgraded multilink rear suspension and a sportier seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Accommodations and Practicality

The VW Taos's smaller exterior belies a roomy interior with plentiful passenger space. Occupants will have ample headroom and legroom in both rows and seats that provide comfort to outlast the miles. Numerous amenities are available to bolster the cabin experience, including leatherette or leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a panoramic sunroof.

One of the primary factors for choosing an SUV is the extra cargo space, and the Taos delivers impressively. It offers excellent practicality, retaining 28 cubic feet for your luggage, gear, and errands with all seats in use. When you need to prioritize storage capacity, you can fold the rear seats to more than double the cargo area to 66 cubic feet.

Technology and Safety Features

The VW Taos makes it easy to stay connected safely and conveniently with Volkswagen's App-Connect infotainment system. Base models have a 6.5-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration for seamless access to hands-free communications, Google or Apple Maps, streaming media, and more. Or you can enjoy completely cable-free connectivity in either of the higher tiers thanks to wireless App-Connect smartphone integration and a wireless charging pad. S and SE trims have a VW Digital Cockpit, displaying important driving metrics on the crisp and stylish 8-inch digital gauge cluster. Step up to the SEL trim, and you'll get the Digital Cockpit Pro, a 10.25-inch instrument panel fully customizable to your viewing preferences.

While there's no replacement for attentive driving, it's nice to know your vehicle's got your back. Volkswagen's IQ.DRIVE technologies leverage front and rear radar, a front-facing camera, and multiple ultrasound sensors to monitor the vehicle's surroundings, helping the driver better detect and respond to potential hazards. Beginning with the 2023 model year, all Taos models equip VW's Front Assist collision mitigation system with pedestrian monitoring. The standard Blind Spot Monitor alerts you to potentially unseen vehicles when changing lanes, and Rear Traffic Alert makes it easier to reverse out of a tight parking space by alerting you to vehicles approaching from either side. Even more driving aids are available for the Taos S and standard in all other trims via the IQ.DRIVE Package, which adds:

• Lane Assist (Lane-departure warning and mitigation)
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
• Active Blind-Spot Monitor (blind spot lane-change intervention)
• Emergency Assist
• Travel Assist (hands-on semi-automated driving system)
