2024 Volkswagen Taos vs. Mitsubishi Outlander: Which is Right for Me?

With so much to love about compact SUVs, it can be difficult to choose one. We’re looking at two popular contenders – the 2024 Volkswagen Taos and the Mitsubishi Outlander. While they’re both great SUVs, we’re showcasing all the ways the Volkswagen SUV shines at North Penn Volkswagen.

Powerful, Yet Efficient

While the Mitsubishi Outlander has more horsepower than the Volkswagen Taos, the Volkswagen SUV has the edge in terms of torque. However, even though they both boast spirited performance, the Volkswagen Taos is much more fuel-efficient. The Volkswagen Taos has an impressive EPA-estimated 464-mile highway driving range, while the Mitsubishi Outlander tops out with a 370-mile highway driving range.

Flexible Space

Both of these SUVs technically fall into the compact segment, although their cabins differ. Even though they are relatively similar in size, there’s comfortable seating for five in the Volkswagen Taos, while the Mitsubishi Outlander increases seating capacity to seven. That translates to extra cargo space in the Volkswagen Taos, which can carry up to 65.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat folded down, while the Mitsubishi SUV only carries up to 64.3 cubic feet of cargo.

Premium Cabins

Depending on the models you select, each SUV is equipped with premium features, including leather surfaces, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and expansive touchscreens with navigation. Select Volkswagen Taos models also add ventilated front seats to keep you comfortable on warm summer days. You can also opt for SiriusXM® satellite radio for limitless entertainment options.
