Meet the 2026 Volkswagen Taos
Performance
Volkswagen designed the new Taos with SUV drivers in mind. There's a lot to love about the Taos, but with the capability of producing 174 horsepower, the 1.5 L turbocharged TSI® 4-cylinder gasoline engine engine is arguably its most impressive feature. All this pop, and the Taos is more than capable of a charismatic ride, courtesy of seamless and slick-shifting transmission configurations. Some other standout performance features on this model are:
- Rear Traffic Alert
- Emergency Assist — helps bring the vehicle to a controlled stop if driver becomes unresponsive
- Lane Assist (lane keeping support)
Technology
In the digital age, no SUV is complete without the latest and greatest tech. Expect your fellow travelers to make the most of available multimedia features while you're on the go. Here’s just a sample of the additional technology features you can get on this model:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go
- Front Assist — Forward Collision Warning + Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring
- VW Digital Cockpit for customizable driver information
Design
SUVs are designed to feel as big on the inside as they look on the outside with an emphasis on efficient use of space. Sitting 5 is a struggle for some automakers, but not the designers of the Taos. Passengers will appreciate the inclusion of soft-touch materials and comfortable seating. For an even more comprehensive list of available design features, read this list:
- LED Headlights & Daytime Running Lights standard
- Available Panoramic Sunroof on higher trims
- Roof Rails standard for cargo flexibility
