5 reasons to buy the 2024 Volkswagen Taos

1. Excite your daily commute 

Not your everyday SUV, the 2024 Volkswagen Taos combines sport-tuned suspension with a capable turbocharged engine to create a sedan-like driving experience. Tackling sharp corners, aggressive handling, and hard braking with confidence, the 2024 Volkswagen Taos can make even the most routine trips feel fun again. For added confidence in bad weather, opt for a Taos AWD, improving traction and performance in snow and rain. 

2. Packed with storage potential 

Bring the whole crew and their luggage on your next adventure in the 2024 Volkswagen Taos. There’s an impressive 27.9 cu-ft of cargo space behind the second-row seats, more than enough for most luggage. Making an unexpected trip to the DIY store? Use the 60/40 split-folding rear seats to accommodate longer items. A small rear passthrough is ideal for skis and other narrow items without losing your back seats. 

3. A comfortable interior 

Take a load off in one of the comfortable Taos seats. Combining sport and luxury, the seats provide excellent support for long trips without getting stiff or uncomfortable. An elevated ride height makes getting in and out of the Taos much easier. While well-placed, accessible child seat anchors and wide door openings make the 2024 Volkswagen Taos ideal for growing families. When you consider the excellent exterior visibility on top of all this, it's clear the interior of the Volkswagen Taos is designed to impress. 

4. The tech features you want 

Standard on any 2024 Volkswagen Taos model is Volkswagen’s suite of driver assists called IQ.Drive®. All 2024 Taos include adaptive cruise control, active blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keep assistance. You’ll also find Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen as part of the standard equipment. If wireless charging is on your wish list, look for a 2024 Volkswagen Taos SE with a larger eight-inch touchscreen. Need even more? The SEL trim adds an upgraded Beats® premium sound system and navigation. 

5. Further between fill-ups 

Settle in for the long haul in a 2024 Volkswagen Taos. More than just a high-performing engine, the turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder that propels the 2024 Volkswagen Taos also has an impressive EPA-estimated fuel economy. A 2024 Volkswagen Taos FWD has an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, or a combined 31 mpg.

If you opt for AWD, the 2024 Volkswagen Taos gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway.
In either configuration, you’ll spend more time cruising and less time at the pumps.
