From its fresh modern design and athletic powertrain to its innovative infotainment system and advanced safety tech, the 2025 Volkswagen Taos is the epitome of compact SUV excellence. We introduce you to the new VW Taos.
Basics About the 2025 Volkswagen Taos
For 2025, VW gives the Taos a makeover, redesigning the front bumper and grille for a bolder and more modern look. Bright LED projector headlamps automatically illuminate to light the road ahead while 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels carry you smoothly around the streets of Menomonee Falls. At the rear, a taillamp strip stretches across the fascia, broken only by an illuminated VW badge that leaves a lasting impression as you pass other drivers.
An expanded range of paint colors means it’s even easier to tailor this compact SUV and stand out from the crowd. Options include Deep Black Pearl, Pyrite Silver, Bright Moss Green, and Monterey Blue Pearl.
New Features
Modernized Interior
Volkswagen also redesigns the Taos’ interior, introducing black and gray cloth upholstery with contrast stitching and soft-touch surfaces for a stylish and more sporty finish. The reconfigured dashboard features an eight-inch digital cockpit for viewing important vehicle data and an eight-inch infotainment screen that seemingly hovers above the dash.
Bluetooth technology lets you connect your smartphone to access your favorite apps and personal playlists. Every Taos trim also comes with Volkswagen Car-Net, giving you the ability to turn your SUV into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot.
Upgraded Powertrain
At the heart of the 2025 Taos is an updated turbocharged 1.5-liter TSI engine, an enlarged intercooler, and a revised turbo housing, fuel injectors, and piston rings. The result is an increased output of 174 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. These changes also make the powertrain more efficient than the 2024 model, and you can expect to achieve an EPA-estimated 28 mpg around city streets and a very impressive 36 mpg when cruising on the highway.
IQ.DRIVE Driver-Assist Technologies
Volkswagen takes safety very seriously which is why every Taos model, from the entry-level S to the top-of-the-range SEL, is equipped with the manufacturer’s IQ.DRIVE system. This comprehensive collection of driver-assist technologies enhances the driving experience and helps improve safety for you, your passengers, and other road users.
Forward collision alert, pedestrian monitoring, and automatic emergency braking help avoid potential accidents in traffic and on city roads while lane keeping and assist, blind spot monitoring, rear traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control provide welcome assistance on open roads.
