Say hello to the new 2022 Volkswagen Taos

The new 2022 Volkswagen Taos unveiled yesterday is the most recent Volkswagen SUV to make its debut and will go on sale in the summer of 2021. Smaller than the Tiguan but still considered a compact SUV, the Taos will be smaller than the Tiguan, but still very spacious.

Capable of accommodating 795 liters in the trunk, the Taos will be ideally suited to a young family looking for space or an active owner who needs room for hockey equipment or bikes.

The new Volkswagen Taos will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine from the current Volkswagen Jetta, but whose displacement has increased to 1.5 liters for a total output of 158 horsepower. Torque remains at 184 lb-ft of torque. This engine should prove to be one of the most powerful in the segment.

Inside, the 2022 Volkswagen Taos will be offered with a full digital instrument cluster as standard, an industry first. It will also offer a host of features including dual-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel and the full set of IQ.Drive safety technologies.

The Volkswagen Taos will be offered in three versions, Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. Pricing has not yet been confirmed, but we should find out more in the coming months. Smaller than the Tiguan, it will nevertheless be just as sporty and dynamic, and its technologies will very likely standout.
