If you’re in the market for an SUV, it may be time to discover the versatility of the new Volkswagen Taos. This compact SUV boasts a spacious cabin for five, ample cargo space, and exceptional capability and value. Read on to learn more about this vehicle’s specs, features, and trims, then visit Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Chamblee for a test drive.
The 2027 VW Taos is available in five well-equipped trim levels, including:
The entry-level S trim is well-equipped with luxuries like a heated steering wheel, manual climate control, IQ.DRIVE, and an 8-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration. If you’re seeking an athletic appearance, the Sport trim adds sporty accents like a blacked-out front grille, 18-inch black alloy wheels, and black/gray seating surfaces.
The SE adds more comfort features such as dual-zone automatic climate control, CloudTex and cloth seating surfaces, and heated front seats, while the SE Black gives the car a more aggressive appeal with black exterior accents and black alloy wheels.
For the most premium experience, the top-trim SEL offers upscale features, such as leather seating surfaces, the VW Digital Cockpit Pro, and a Volkswagen premium audio system.
Under the hood of the 2027 VW Taos is a turbocharged 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 174 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. That’s enough power to get the SUV moving swiftly through Atlanta streets and cruising on the I-85. You’ll also go far between fill-ups, thanks to an EPA-estimated 27/35/30 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),1 when it’s equipped with front-wheel drive.
Front-wheel-drive models use an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth acceleration, while 4MOTION all-wheel-drive models use an eight-speed DSG transmission for quicker shifts.
The new Volkswagen Taos has compact dimensions, measuring 175.9 inches long, 72.5 inches wide, and 64.5 inches high, making it easy to maneuver around tighter city streets and small garages in Atlanta, GA. Inside, you’ll find ample room for five and plenty of space for their cargo.
The Taos provides 99.5 cubic feet of passenger volume and up to 65.9 cubic feet of cargo capacity (or 27.9 cubic feet behind the second row). Other specific measurements include:
As illustrated by these stellar dimensions, the Taos is a comfortable, practical choice for anyone looking for a versatile, compact SUV.
After choosing the right Volkswagen Taos configuration, you may need to decide whether to lease or finance it. Leasing provides a short-term commitment with a few compelling lease-end opportunities, including the ability to upgrade to a new Volkswagen. You can also return the Volkswagen compact SUV or purchase it when the lease ends.
Financing, on the other hand, provides a path to long-term ownership when the monthly payments are complete. It’s a better option if you prefer to keep the SUV for more than a few years.
