Why the 2025 VW Taos Is the Smart Choice for Compact SUV Buyers

Don’t let its compact size fool you. The 2025 Volkswagen Taos proves that smaller SUVs can deliver seriously big benefits with a price tag that won’t break the bank. The refined and refreshed Taos combines everything you want in a modern SUV: fuel efficiency, cutting-edge technology, and stylish comfort in every mile. 

Step inside and you’ll find a surprisingly spacious and well-designed cabin that comfortably seats five, with ample cargo room. Whether you’re cruising city streets or heading out for weekend adventures, the Taos delivers the versatility and value you’re looking for.

Curious about what makes the 2025 Taos a smart choice? Let Mike Reichenbach Volkswagen of Florence walk you through the top reasons this compact SUV is turning heads.

Top Five Reasons to Buy a 2025 Volkswagen Taos 

1. Bold, Modern Exterior

The 2025 Taos has a design that strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and attitude. At the front of the SUV, there’s an aggressive low-slung grille, slim LED headlights that slice through the night, and sculpted air intakes that hint at the performance within. Opt for the available 19-inch wheels for an extra dose of style.

The rear of the vehicle is just as confident. A full-width LED taillight bar and striking rear bumper create a cohesive, contemporary look that’s unmistakably Volkswagen. And when it comes to color, you’ve got the freedom to express yourself with eight exterior paint options:

• Bright Moss Green Metallic 
• Cornflower Blue
• Deep Black Pearl
• Monterey Blue Pearl
• Monument Gray
• Platinum Gray Metallic
• Pure White
• Pyrite Silver Metallic 

2. Refined and Comfortable Interior

The Taos surprises with its spacious, thoughtfully designed interior that makes every drive more enjoyable. Even on the base trim, you’ll get modern essentials like a heated steering wheel and push-button start that make a real difference on chilly mornings and busy days.

Move up the trim levels, and the comfort only gets better. Mid-level trims are outfitted with premium touches like leather upholstery and heated and ventilated seats to keep you comfortable in any season. The top-of-the-line SEL trim is equipped with an expansive panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin with light and air. Whether you’re cruising solo or bringing the whole crew, the Taos keeps everyone comfortable on every drive.

3. Versatile Cargo Space

The 2025 Taos comfortably seats five and boasts one of the largest cargo areas in its class—a major advantage whether you’re doing the weekly grocery run or heading out for a camping trip. With the FWD model, you get 27.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, which expands to an impressive 65.9 cubic feet with the seats folded down. The AWD version offers slightly less space, at 24.9 cubic feet (or 60.2 cubic feet with seats folded).

Strollers, sports equipment, or beach gear—the Taos handles it all.

4. Technology that Keeps You Connected

The 2025 Taos keeps you connected and confident on every drive. A newly standard 8-inch floating infotainment display with wired App-Connect® smartphone integration gives you easy access to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Step up to the SE trim and you’ll get wireless App-Connect and wireless smartphone charging, both of which allow you to keep your phone charged without the need for cable clutter.

Safety and convenience go hand in hand with the standard VW IQ.DRIVE driver assistance suite. This intelligent system features lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, a blind spot monitor, and more, designed to keep you and your crew safe on the road.

5. Impressive Fuel Efficiency

Under the hood, the 2025 Taos packs a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 174 horsepower, paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. The FWD model achieves an impressive 28 mpg city and 36 mpg on the highway.

If you need extra capability, the available 4Motion All-Wheel Drive system distributes power between the front and rear wheels, optimizing traction and stability when you need it most. Whether you’re navigating wet roads or tackling unpredictable weather, AWD models deliver solid performance with 25 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.
