Why You Need to Get Behind the Wheel of a Volkswagen Taos

Getting to Know This Sub-Compact VW SUV

When car buyers are considering what they want in an SUV, a few basic things come to mind.

First of all, it should have a roomy interior with lots of cargo space. After all, this is going to be the vehicle that you use for cross country travel and camping trips. Holding all of your family’s luggage and equipment is an absolute must. The other thing that people demand out of an SUV is power and performance, and they want a lot of it. An SUV that’s lacking in the horsepower or torque department isn’t worth a second look. Finally, your SUV should feature the latest and most advanced safety and convenience features.

The good news is that the brand new 2022 Volkswagen Taos delivers that and then some. Let’s break down some of the finer points of the VW Taos, which is currently at a Volkswagen dealer near you. .

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos – A New Breed of VW SUV

At Volkswagen SouthTowne, we try to have a wide range of cars to fit everyone’s lifestyle and needs. Some people prefer a small and speedy sedan, such as the Volkswagen Jetta. Others prefer a larger-than-life SUV such as the Volkswagen Tiguan, which can seat up to seven people.

One of the things we love most about the 2022 VW Taos is that it’s a happy medium between a sedan and a full-size SUV. It’s got the quickness and agility of a sedan but with the storage, power, and body type of an SUV…just on a slightly smaller scale. Subcompact SUVs are great for those that prefer things a bit more compact.

Another thing that people love about the VW Taos is the price. It can be easy to spend a ton of cash on an SUV, but the Taos is the thrifty option that car buyers have been looking for. With a starting MSRP of $22,995, the VW Taos is the most affordable option in the VW SUV lineup. And if you’re worried about burning through your budget on fuel – don’t. The VW Taos gets 28 mpg in the city and 36 on the highway, which means this is an SUV that knows how to stretch a dollar.

And what SUV would be complete without plenty of cargo space and cabin room? Clocking in at 96.7 cubic ft. of passenger volume (with sunroof) and 65.9 cubic ft. of cargo room (rear seats folded down), the Volkswagen Taos offers all the room you’d expect out of an SUV.

Finally, An SUV That’s Easy to Maintain

It’s not hard to see why so many of our guests at Volkswagen SouthTowne love the VW Taos. We’ve talked about a few of the major perks like storage, features, and plenty of performance capability under the hood. However, one often overlooked aspect of buying an SUV is how much it’ll cost in maintenance over time. Buying a car is one thing, but continually having to shell out cash in order to keep it in good condition is another issue entirely. When the engineers at Volkswagen constructed the Taos, they did it with the intention of creating an SUV that’s made to go the distance.

According to the analysis of mid-size SUVs and crossovers performed by Vincentric, LLC using 2021 competitive vehicles, the 2022 VW Taos is estimated to cost drivers less in routine maintenance compared to the likes of the Honda Pilot, CR-V, Passport, and HR-V.

Most car buyers don’t know this, but Volkswagen vehicles are typically able to go for longer periods of time between service check-ups. VW service centers are able to recommend 10,000 miles/1 year between oil changes due to the synthetic blend that VW offers. If you were to compare that to other manufacturers, they would likely recommend somewhere between 5,000 and 7,500 miles.
