It also has to compete of sorts with the Tiguan just above it in the same lineup. That said, know that the Taos is closer in size to the previous-generation two-row Golf-based Tiguan than to the three-row version available in North America today. So if you preferred the older, smaller Tiguan format, then the Taos is now the way to go. When it comes to interior space, the Taos is full value for its segment. The tall roof is a boon for headroom both front and rear.
For the most part it does, actually. You’ll have some body roll due to the tall roof but the suspension has been tuned to keep things in check, and while the ride is on the firm side, you won’t find it uncomfortably jarring in normal driving. VW has a thing about tuning their chassis to feel a notch or two above the MSRP of their vehicle and when it comes to its ride, the Taos is no different.
The Wilderness version gets all sorts of extra body cladding ‘round the wheels and rocker panels, special badges, underbody skid-plates both front and back, gold trim detailing and Yokohama Geolander off-road tires. The changes add so much presence that if you only look at it for a split second, you may confuse it for the bigger, burlier Outback Wilderness, which is where that trim got its start.
