2 TRIMS ABOUT THE VOLKSWAGEN TAOS
Volkswagen Taos at a glance
The Volkswagen Taos is a subcompact crossover that emphasizes interior room and fuel economy within a short exterior footprint. Its turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder is paired with an automatic transmission, and both front-wheel-drive and 4MOTION all-wheel-drive versions are offered. The upright roof and useful cargo area make it more practical than its dimensions suggest. Cariary sees it as the rational entry point to Volkswagen's SUV range, although ride quality and drivetrain response should be compared carefully across trims.
