2022 Volkswagen Taos vs. 2022 Kia Seltos: not so different

If you're in the market for a small SUV, you know you have a lot of options. The Volkswagen Taos 2022 is one of the newest options available to you. Introduced earlier this year and now available for purchase, the Volkswagen Taos 2022 is a unique vehicle in that it sort of falls between the subcompact and compact SUV segments. This means that buyers interested in a Kia Sportage, for example, might be interested in the Taos. That said, if you're interested in a Kia Seltos, you might also be interested in the Taos.

More value and more space in the 2022 Volkswagen Taos

The Volkswagen Taos starts at $26,695, while the Kia Seltos 2022 starts at $25,305. That may not seem like much of a difference, and what we want to point out is that the Taos offers better value than the Kia Seltos. You'll get more features in the Taos to justify the higher price, including standard 17-inch wheels versus the 16-inch wheels in the Seltos, a fully digital instrument cluster, LED headlights and push-button start.
