There are myriad reasons why Volkswagen SUV owners in the Arlington area love what they drive, like having comfortable and spacious accommodations, lots of practical utility, and advanced technologies. However, VW SUVs are usually on the larger side, meaning there hasn't been an option for shoppers seeking something with smaller space requirements. Fortunately, that's changed now that the all-new 2022 VW Taos has arrived here at Ourisman Volkswagen of Bethesda.
Although it's technically a "subcompact" crossover, the 2022 Volkswagen Taos is one of the more sizeable nameplates in its class, allowing it to provide ample space for passengers and cargo while retaining city-friendly maneuverability. It comes well-equipped across its three trim levels (S, SE, SEL), and you can claim your own here at Ourisman Volkswagen of Bethesda. Here's a quick overview of some 2022 VW Taos highlights.
Performance
Under the hood, a responsive 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides plenty of motivation for the Taos' smaller frame, sending 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels through an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Alexandria drivers can also select available 4MOTION all-wheel-drive for any trim level, which comes bundled with a multilink rear suspension and a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Comfort and Versatility
The 2022 Taos is impressively roomy for its class, especially for second-row passengers who will have 38 inches of legroom. And in terms of cargo space, the Taos reserves 28 cubic feet for your groceries or luggage with the rear seats upright and offers an expansive 66 cubes with them folded. Fairfax drivers can also enjoy a bevy of available comfort and convenience enhancements, including keyless proximity entry, leather or CloudTex simulated leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar adjustment.
Tech and Safety Features
All Taos models come standard with VW's App-Connect multimedia system, which provides seamless and intuitive smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The base-model Taos S comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, while SE and SEL trim levels benefit from a larger 8-inch display and wireless smartphone connectivity.
When it comes to ensuring safe travels, there's never a substitute for stay alert behind the wheel, at least not until all vehicles are autonomous. But in the meantime, you can still get some significant assistance. Standard on SEL and available via a package for S and SE models, the 2022 VW Taos offers a full suite of IQ.DRIVE driver aids, including:
- Front Assist collision mitigation
- Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Travel Assist hands-on semi-autonomous driving assistant
- Lane Assist with Active Blind Spot Intervention
- Area View 360-degree camera system
- Light Assist High Beam Control
