Pros Cons What’s new? Price: The 2022 Volkswagen Taos S has a starting price of $23,295, plus a destination charge.Volkswagen’s VWAGY new compact 5-seater SUV looks like a junior Atlas, and it’s 9.3 inches shorter than the Tiguan.

2022 Volkswagen Taos pricing The 2022 Volkswagen Taos has a starting price of $23,295, plus a destination fee of $1,195. This is for the Taos S with FWD. A Taos S with 4Motion AWD begins at $25,340. Driving the 2022 Volkswagen Taos We sampled two 2022 VW Taos models — a front-drive SEL and a midrange SE with 4Motion AWD.

The Taos SE with 4Motion launches with a bit more dignity because all four wheels put power to the ground. The 4Motion AWD system has Snow and Off-road settings, plus three other driving modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport. Sport provides snappier throttle response, heavier steering, and more aggressive shifts.

Given the compact size of the Taos, the interior space is excellent. A 6-foot 2-inch person can fit with ease behind a driver of the same height, even when the Taos has a sunroof. Exterior styling For its first foray into the not-quite-subcompact crossover space, Volkswagen has made a Taos that fits right in with the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport SUVs. The overall proportions of the new Taos are good, and the short overhangs will help in off-road situations.

On the Taos SE, you get the CloudTex upholstery, 18-inch alloy wheels, silver roof rails, body-color side mirror caps, 8-inch infotainment screen, wireless smartphone charging, power driver’s seat, heated front seats, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
