The 2024 Volkswagen Taos builds upon its predecessor by offering a series of refinements rather than a full-scale redesign. Positioned as Volkswagen's most affordable SUV, the new model year mainly carries over the core attributes that have defined its appeal while introducing nuanced tweaks in performance, interior, and technology. These subtle yet significant updates aim to enhance the overall driving and ownership experience for consumers looking for a well-rounded vehicle in an economical package.
Under the Hood
The 2024 Taos is powered by a 1.5 TSI Turbocharged Engine, offering 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. For the drivetrain, consumers have the choice between an 8-speed automatic transmission in a Front-Wheel-Drive configuration or a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission with 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive. The vehicle promises respectable fuel economy, with estimates of 8.4 L/100km in city driving and 6.5 L/100km on the highway. As for the warranty, Volkswagen provides a 4-year or 80,000 km new-vehicle limited warranty.
Exterior and Interior Design
The Taos’ exterior features standard LED headlights and an optional illuminated grille. To further enhance night-time visibility, an Adaptive Front-Light System (AFS) is included, which adjusts the headlights based on steering inputs. The alloy wheels and sculpted side profile add to its aesthetic appeal.
Inside, the vehicle boasts new stitched door armrests, smooth glove compartment lighting, and an available leather gear shift knob. Additionally, the interior accommodates five passengers and offers surprising cargo space. Optional adjustable ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof are available to elevate the in-cabin experience.
Technology and Safety Features
The 2024 Taos is equipped with an 8” Touchscreen that comes with Navigation and is compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For those who want a more comprehensive data display, an optional 10.25” Digital Cockpit Pro is available, allowing users to customize the full-screen display.
Safety hasn't been overlooked either. The Taos comes with standard features like Front Assist, which includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert. For more advanced safety features, available options include Travel Assist, which combines Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist, and Emergency Assist, as well as Light Assist for automatic high beam control.
In summary, the 2024 Volkswagen Taos is poised to offer a well-rounded package for those looking for performance, comfort, and advanced technology in an affordable SUV.
