The 2024 Volkswagen Taos is a compact SUV still in its first generation. As a competitively priced crossover under the Volkswagen brand, the Volkswagen Taos is a smart option for prospective car buyers who want a stylish, capable, and reliable compact SUV for daily driving through Las Cruces, NM, and beyond. In the few years since the Volkswagen Taos was introduced, it has become one of the best-selling models among drivers purchasing SUVs or crossovers for the first time. You can see the 2024 Volkswagen Taos at our dealership today; before you come over, we invite you to learn about some of the highlights that make it one of the best SUVs for your lifestyle.
Turbocharged Performance and Excellent Fuel Efficiency
As an urban crossover, the 2024 Volkswagen Taos delivers a nice mix of sporty handling and fuel economy. Built on the lightweight MQB A1 chassis platform, which is a variation of the Volkswagen Jetta chassis, the Volkswagen Taos is powered by a turbocharged 1.5 TSI four-cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. TSI stands for Turbocharged Stratified Injection, and it is one of the two advanced technologies powering the Volkswagen Taos; the other is Active Cylinder Management, which injects fuel directly into the cylinders in a layered manner for maximum fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
Under highway driving conditions, the Volkswagen Taos can generate a fuel economy of 36 miles per gallon. When driving around Sunland Park, NM, in stop-and-go traffic, the 2024 Volkswagen Taos attains a fuel efficiency rating of 28 miles per gallon. The driveline consists of a Volkswagen Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) automatic transmission with seven speeds; this dynamic twin-clutch system with a shifter gives you more control, ideal for sporty driving situations. A performance feature in the 2024 Volkswagen Taos is the VW 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, which automatically adjusts traction and vehicle stability.
Thoroughly Modern Comfort in a Cozy Cabin
Everyone who comes to our lot to check out the Volkswagen Taos will be impressed by its interior. For a compact SUV, the Volkswagen Taos provides you and four adult passengers with ample space for seating. The cockpit is ergonomically designed to keep you engaged and comfortable when revving up the TSI engine; the visual angles of the digital instrument panel and the infotainment touchscreen are conducive to spirited driving.
The sharp interior of the 2024 Volkswagen Taos is one of its strongest selling points. If you are often behind the wheel, you want German engineering in the cabin, and the Volkswagen Taos certainly delivers in this regard. Interior features include a panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting depending on the trim levels. For a compact SUV that handles like a crossover, the Volkswagen Taos offers an impressive rear cargo space with a storage capacity that can be extended to 65.9 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down.
Stay Connected and Safe with Technology
All Volkswagen models excel in technology; the 2024 Volkswagen Taos is no exception. In addition to the powertrain and driveline technology mentioned above, the Volkswagen Taos is packed with useful features that keep you informed, entertained, and safe. The MIB2 infotainment system can wirelessly synchronize to your device through Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. You can configure it for remote ignition and locking from your mobile devices.
The IQ.DRIVE system of driver-assist features is one of the most advanced you can find. It includes functions such as guided parking, blind spot monitoring, collision mitigation, and adaptive cruise control.
