Among SUVs, the 2023 VW Taos has quickly become a hit with drivers, as it offers the fuel efficiency and easy handling of a compact SUV while also delivering praiseworthy performance, both on and off-road. It’s the type of vehicle you can rely on as an everyday commuter or take the whole family on road trips with, with interior comforts and advanced tech features that are sure to keep everyone comfortable.

Fuel-Efficient Performance

With up to 31 mpg in combined city/highway mileage, this edition of the Taos is perfect for those looking for excellent fuel economy without compromising performance. The vehicle’s turbocharged 1.5-liter engine produces 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and this is complemented by either a 7-speed or 8-speed automatic transmission, depending on whether you opt for front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Speaking of all-wheel drive, the Taos’s 4MOTION AWD system makes it simple to tackle slippery roads and rugged terrains and provides four different drive modes for you to choose from with the turn of a dial: Snow, Off-Road, Off-Road Custom, and On-Road.

Comfort and Technology

Inside the 2023 Taos’s cabin, many luxury features and options await, like the heated, leatherette-wrapped steering wheel, ventilated and heated leather seats with stylish stitching, and a power-tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof that can be enjoyed by all on fair-weather days. There are also 65.9 cubic feet of cargo space available, making it easy to find room for groceries and gear when you need it.

For entertainment, there’s an 8-inch touchscreen available that offers AM/FM and HD Radio, as well as App-Connect, a feature that allows you to connect smartphones wirelessly to access apps from your phone directly on the vehicle’s touchscreen instead. You can also leave your charging cables at home, thanks to the available wireless smartphone charger.

Driver-Assistance Features

A wide array of safety and driver-assistance systems are also offered with this edition, including Blind Spot Monitor, which alerts you to other vehicles hiding on either side of yours. When increasing your speed on dark roads, Light Assist automatically activates your headlamps and can be set to automatically turn your high beams on and off as needed.

Then there’s Dynamic Road Sign Display, a convenient feature that can remind you of the local speed limit and warn you if you’re approaching restricted traffic zones. Even parking is easier with this vehicle, with Park Distance Control warning you if you’re approaching objects near parking spots and Maneuver Braking automatically bringing you to a stop if you get too close to something.

The 2023 Taos is ready for adventures with its exceptional fuel efficiency, off-road versatility, and many impressive luxury and entertainment features. Come explore it in person and take it out for a test drive by either visiting us at Sisbarro Volkswagen or giving us a call.
