There’s something so fun about driving the 2026 Volkswagen Taos. It’s also thoughtfully designed to ensure it’s a practical everyday driver too. North Penn Volkswagen shares how it carefully blends spirited performance with everyday practicality.

Enticing Performance

The sporty power of the 2026 Volkswagen Taos comes from a 1.5-liter TSI® turbo four-cylinder engine. It generates up to 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, while still remaining fuel-efficient. The compact SUV can also be equipped with 4MOTION® AWD with Active Control, so you’ll always have optimal traction, even in adverse driving conditions.

Intuitive Technology

The driver-centric cockpit features an eight-inch floating infotainment touchscreen display, which provides a brilliant centerpiece with next-level connectivity. It’s available with wireless smartphone integration, navigation, SiriusXM® with 360L satellite radio, voice control, and more. The cabin is also available with wireless charging for compatible devices and a VW Premium Sound system with eight speakers and a subwoofer.

Versatile Cabin

The five-passenger cabin isn’t just practical, it’s also comfortable and refined. It’s available with heated and ventilated front seats, a heated multi-function steering wheel, and Climatronic® Touch dual-zone automatic climate control.

This model’s stylish options include leather seating surfaces, ambient interior lighting, and a power tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof. You can also configure the cabin if you need extra cargo space and quickly fold the 60/40 split-folding rear seat down for up to 65.9 cubic feet of cargo space.
