The 2025 Volkswagen Taos is an SUV with a healthy dose of swagger. From its vibrant and energetic exterior to the advanced technology that keeps occupants safe in a collision, it’s an SUV that takes its safety as seriously as it takes its fun.
4 Reasons Drivers Love the 2025 Volkswagen Taos
1. Perky Performance
The 2025 Taos received a serious performance upgrade over the 2024 model year. The new turbocharged 1.5-liter engine sees a 19-horsepower boost, climbing from 2024’s 158 horsepower all the way up to the 2025’s 177 horsepower. That means more power, more fun, and more adventure.
Pair that boosted motor with a standard 8-speed automatic transmission and the available 4MOTION AWD technology, and the Taos can take the fun even further off the beaten path. And with a fuel economy of up to 28 mpg city / 36 mpg highway, the Taos helps drivers pinch their pennies at the gas station.
2. Standout Style
The Taos is an SUV with a spunky soul and the looks to match. The refreshed exterior includes a newly redesigned grille and an available LED bar that unites the headlamps for a sleek look. The Taos is also available in exciting colors, including a vibrant green and electrifying bright blue.
Inside, the cabin is high-tech and comfortable. Displays are bright and easy to use, and the leatherette-wrapped steering wheel is heated in every trim for added comfort on cold mornings. Wireless charging is standard on most trims and luscious leather upholstery is available for those who crave a sensuous seating experience.
3. Superb Safety Suite
The 2025 Taos is always on the lookout for those who ride inside. It sports an impressive six standard stability-enhancing systems like Electronic Brake-Pressure Distribution and Electronic Stability Control to help optimize driving dynamics and keep you firmly in control. VW’s advanced IQ.DRIVE driver-assist suite also includes technologies like Lane Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control to make highway miles safer and easier.
Standard pre-collision braking helps avoid collisions, but should a crash occur, the Taos is just getting warmed up. Standard automatic post-collision braking can bring the Taos to a stop quickly and safely. VW’s Intelligent Crash Response System takes smart actions to help occupants remain safe, turning off the fuel pump to prevent fires, engaging hazard lights to prevent additional crashes, and automatically unlocking the doors to make it easy for occupants to get out or for rescuers to get in.
4. Impressive Cargo Capacity
The interior of the Taos is nice and roomy, making it a great vehicle for those with tall teens or whose friends like to hitch a ride. With the back seat upright, not only do rear-seat passengers get over 37 inches of legroom to stretch their legs, but the Taos can also accommodate up to 27.9 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
