2023 Volkswagen Taos Features

Volkswagen’s smallest SUV returns for 2023 as a well-specced model with plentiful equipment. Particularly exciting are the new amenities that consolidate its place as a solid choice for consumers looking for a subcompact SUV, such as its exceptional ride manners, excellent cargo and passenger space, impressive fuel economy, and wide-opening doors, which ensure safe access to and egress from the vehicle.

For 2023, Volkswagen expanded the Taos’ standard safety features list to include a blind spot monitor, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian monitoring, and rear traffic alert. In addition, the base Taos S models with all-wheel drive now come with 18-inch wheels instead of the previous 17s, while the SEL comes with a panoramic sunroof as standard fitment. Volkswagen sells the 2023 Taos in three trims: S, SE, and SEL.

Efficient Powertrain

Every 2023 Volkswagen Taos has a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine making 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Shoppers have the choice of standard front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Front-drive Taos models have a traditional eight-speed automatic transmission, while all-wheel drive versions feature a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.

The 2023 VW Taos returns 28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway when equipped with front-wheel drive. As you’d expect, all-wheel drive is the least fuel-efficient choice. It provides 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway.

Spacious & Comfortable Interior

The 2023 Taos has an incredibly roomy interior with a well-executed layout. Base Taos models feature comfortable two-tone seats covered in high-quality cloth, push-button start, 60/40-split folding rear seat, and more. You can also outfit this model with a leather-wrapped gear shift and a heated steering wheel.

Moving up in trims to the midrange Taos SE grade, you get additional niceties such as synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat. A sunroof is available as an option.

Feeling spendy? The range-topping Taos SEL might be precisely what you need. It gains genuine leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, ambient interior lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more.

Additionally, cargo space is good. Front-wheel-drive Taos models have 27.9 cubes behind the rear seats and 65.9 cubic feet with them folded down. Fitting all-wheel drive means losing a bit of space, as you get 24.9 cubic feet of room behind the rear seats and 60.2 cubes with the rear seats folded down.

Impressive Infotainment Technology

Those considering the 2023 VW Taos can expect a modern infotainment system with sharp graphics, as the vehicle is equipped with the manufacturer’s straightforward MIB infotainment system. The standard setup includes a 6.5-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, HD Radio, USB ports, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a four-speaker stereo.

Upper trims swap the 6-5 inch for an 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, satellite radio, additional USB ports, wireless device charging, a six-speaker audio system, and an eight-speaker BeatsAudio sound system.

Sophisticated Safety Systems

The 2023 Volkswagen Taos is equipped with advanced driver assistance systems to keep you and your passengers safe and comfortable. You get a standard rearview camera, forward automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Higher models add forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and traffic-sign recognition.
