Three Ways the 2023 VW Taos Stands Out

Three Ways the 2023 VW Taos Stands Out

The 2023 Volkswagen Taos is the smallest VW SUV sold in Canada which means that it is part of one of the most competitive market segments in the country. Here are three ways in which the Taos stands out from all of its competitors.

More interior space

The 2023 Volkswagen Taos is one of the most spacious vehicles in its category in terms of both passenger and cargo space. Indeed, the Taos offers more headroom and shoulder room front and rear and more legroom in the rear than most of its competitors. In addition, the 790-litre cargo space is one of the most generous in the category and it can be expanded up to 1,866 litres by folding the rear seats. What is even more impressive is that despite being at the top of its segment in terms of interior space, the Taos is actually shorter and lower than the majority of sub-compact SUVs, meaning that it is easier to drive in the city.

More fun behind the wheel

The 2023 Volkswagen Taos is one of the most fun-to-drive vehicles in its segment since it is the only one to benefit from the expertise of German engineers when it comes to ride and handling. In addition to having a chassis and suspension that makes every drive more engaging, the Taos benefits from more standard power than most of its competitors due to its standard turbocharged engine. The 1.5L mill found under the hood of the Taos generates 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque that gets distributed either to the front wheels or to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch unit.

A complete package

The 2023 Volkswagen Taos is a very well-equipped vehicle considering its price since even the entry-level Trendline model comes standard with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the keyless start system, and the 8.0-inch Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster. Stepping up to the Comfortline and Highline models adds items such as a power driver’s seat, the Climatronic dual-zone automatic climate control system, the adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, the Car-Net connected services, and Beats Audio premium sound system.
