Volkswagen Taos Trim Packages: What They Mean

Getting to Know the Newest VW SUV for Sale If you’ve been to the Volkswagen dealership in Cypress, then you already know it’s the place Where Good Things Happen. 2021 is already shaping up to be another great year in the VW world with the release of the all-new Volkswagen Taos. If you’ve been Googling things like “new cars for sale” then it’s likely you’ve already seen the Taos pop up in your search results. Although it’s only been available for a little while now, the 2022 VW Taos is already generating a massive amount of buzz from both consumers and professional car reviewing trade publications. The Taos is a reinvention of the Volkswagen SUV – not quite as big as the 2021 Tiguan, but still large enough to offer that classic SUV feel and storage capacity. This subcompact SUV packs a ton of great features in a slightly scaled down version of the Tiguan that you know and love – perfect for those who want something bigger than a sedan but not quite a full-blown SUV. The VW Taos is the happy medium between the two. 2022 Volkswagen Taos At-a-Glance Specs Here at VW Cypress, we often end up comparing the Taos to the Tiguan quite a bit because they’re similar vehicles. One is an SUV while the other is a subcompact SUV. When it comes to storage, the 2021 Tiguan offers 73.5 cu. ft. of cargo space compared to the 2022 Taos which offers 66.3 cu. ft. of cargo space. That is still more than enough room to handle your camping trip gear, groceries, or luggage for your out-of-town trip. Peeking under the hood, both the Tiguan and the Taos offer Turbo engines. The difference is that the Taos offers 1.5L Turbo I-4 engine with 158 hp, whereas the Tiguan is a little bit more powerful with its 2.0L Turbo I-4 engine and 184 hp. No matter which way you slice it, you’re going to get a ton of power under the hood. The 2022 Taos turbo engine with eight-speed transmission makes accelerating for highway merges on the 290 nearly effortless. So far, the Tiguan offers a little more by way of storage and power, but where the Taos excels is with its gas mileage. The 2021 VW Tiguan offers 23 city/29 highway mpg, which is great for a full-sized SUV. However, the all new VW Taos has it beat with 28 city/36 highway mpg, which makes it perfect for your daily commute and long-distance trips. To further customize the Taos to your driving style, you’ll have your choice between all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. People who have had the pleasure of testing out the 2022 VW Taos are already remarking about how the car simultaneously feels nimble and quick for an SUV without sacrificing the solid and secure construction. No matter what driving conditions are laid before you, the 2022 VW Taos can tackle them. 2022 VW Taos Features You’re not going to find very many subcompact SUVs that are loaded with features quite like the Taos is.

The ID.4 at Volkswagen Cypress is a game-changing vehicle. Unlike other EV’s it redefines the electric vehicle experience, offering power - up to 201 hp, which is bigger than anything it its class - massive torque at 228 lb-ft, plus it addresses a common complaint from other EV owners and offers longer distance without charging (260 miles on a single charge).

It also offers Emergency Assist, Travel Assist, and Remote Access Services at no additional charge. The VW ID.4 also has some of the largest screen real estate around clocking in at 10 inches; the RAV4 and Honda CR-V only have 7-inch screens. As far as warranty goes, the VW ID.4 has one of the best in the game with a 4-year/50,000-mile (whichever comes first) warranty compared to the other SUVs we mentioned that only offer a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty (whichever comes first). 2021 VW Atlas ($31,545 starting MSRP) The Volkswagen Atlas is an award-winning, boldly-designed SUV. The largest of the Volkswagen SUV’s, the Volkswagen Atlas fits up to 7 passengers (6 if you choose Captain’s Chairs layout) very comfortably, and is hailed for its technology, safety features, and power. With a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds and up to 276 horsepower, many customers at Volkswagen Cypress prefer this SUV as the perfect family car for road trips, weekend excursions to the lake, and just day-to-day carpool duties. The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas was recently lauded for its low ownership costs compared to other midsize SUV’s. Another reason the Atlas - and all new Volkswagen models at Volkswagen Cypress - is a reliable choice is their incredible warranty, which exceeds nearly every other manufacturer. The 2020 and newer models come with a 4- year or 50,000-mile (whichever occurs first) bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, 2 years Carefree Maintenance, and 5 years of Car-Net remote access! 2021 VW Atlas Cross Sport ($30,855 starting MSRP) The all-new Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is a safety-first sort of SUV. That much is evident when you consider that both the 2020 and 2021 models took home awards for having the highest overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The comprehensive airbag placement along with other safety features such as electronic stability control and the intelligent crash response system make this a top choice for parents who want to keep their families safe. The VW Atlas Cross Sport features a 2.0L turbo engine (also available as a 3.6L V6) with an estimated 21 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway. It should also be mentioned that the Atlas Cross Sport has a best-in-class warranty of 4 years/50,000 miles (whichever comes first) compared to other big brands like Jeep and Honda which only offer 3 years. 2021 VW Tiguan ($25,245 starting MSRP) A lot of people over the past couple of years have been searching “ Volkswagen Tiguan for sale” to test drive this award-winning full-size SUV. The VW Tiguan won the editors’ choice award from Car and Driver, and it was also voted as a top safety pick in 2021 by IIHS. There’s a lot to brag about when it comes to the Tiguan, and big families love the fact that it can comfortably seat up to seven people. The 2.0L turbo engine provides a ton of power for when you’re out there on the road. The fuel economy on the Tiguan is great with an estimated 23 mpg in the city and 29 out on the highway.

Think of the VW Taos as a slightly smaller version of the Tiguan. You’re still going to get a ton of power and storage, but on a slightly reduced scale. Whereas the Tiguan has an optional third row, the Taos is a five-seater with 65.9 cu. ft. of cargo space if the seats are folded down. The turbocharged engine features up to 158 horsepower, so although it’s not quite as powerful as the Tiguan, it still has enough get up and go for accelerating on the highway.

Sponsored by Volkswagen Cypress From the very beginning -with the launch of the Volkswagen Beetle in 1945 - Volkswagen has been successful in the compact segment of the automotive market. With nameplates like Beetle, Rabbit, Jetta, Golf, and Golf GTI, VW knows how to make compelling small vehicles. However, America’s appetite for sedans has been waning in recent years, shifting toward a seemingly insatiable desire for SUVs. This trend is obvious to anyone who drives on Houston’s many highways. Pickup trucks and SUV’s make up nearly three-quarters of new car sales in the Houston area, according to the Houston Chronicle. Seeing this shift in the market, VW has responded in kind. Ballooning in size, VW’s model lineup has an SUV for every need: The 7-seater Atlas, 5-seater Atlas Cross Sport, Tiguan, and recently the VW ID.4 EV have all been solid players—and sellers—at Volkswagen Cypress since their debut. Volkswagen’s newest SUV, the Taos, is sure to be another hit among consumers. This newly-arrived subcompact SUV is here to fill the gap in VW’s SUV line-up. “With the addition of the Volkswagen Taos we now have 5 incredible SUV’s to off our guests,” said Alex Garcia, General Sales Manager for Volkswagen Cypress, in North Houston. “The Taos is a strong contender to cars like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, or Ford Escape, but with a better warranty, more power, and better fuel-economy.” Here are just a few of the reasons why Volkswagen’s newest vehicle, the Taos, is an exciting entry into the subcompact SUV market. The Size is Right Ever since VW stopped producing Golf Sportwagen in the United States this past January, they had a subcompact-sized hole open up in their model lineup—and the new Volkswagen SUV, the Taos, is here to fill it. Smaller than the Tiguan, the Taos is appealing for those wanting a compact SUV with ample space for passengers and cargo. Garcia said, “So many of our guests want an SUV but don’t need the large size of an Atlas, Atlas Cross Spot, or even the Tiguan. The 2022 VW Taos offers just the perfect amount of space and passenger comfort. This crossover is perfect for heavy commuters, first-time buyers, or empty-nesters.” The Taos is getting rave reviews from 3rd party auto magazines. According to Car and Driver 's Mike Sutton, “ has a huge back seat for a subcompact SUV, and its capacious and easily accessible cargo hold can swallow 25 cubic feet of stuff behind the rear seats.” Extremely Cost-Efficient With the addition of the Taos to VW’s SUV lineup, there is an SUV for every customer’s need and budget. Starting at $22,995, the Taos is an economical choice that meets almost any new car shopper’s budget. And considering the Taos comes with one of the best warranties out there (4 years/50,000-mile (whichever occurs first) bumper-to-bumper limited warranty), the Taos is even more cost-effective. The fuel economy of the Taos stands out as well, beating out most of its same-size competitors. The VW Taos is rated at 25 mpg in the city, up to 36 mpg on the highway, and 28 mpg combined. Another great selling point is that even with its fuel-efficiency, the Taos does not sacrifice power. The 2022 Taos has plenty of get-up-and-go with the available all-wheel drive powered by an engine producing 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Standard Tech and Safety Features Not only is the 2022 Taos the right price, but it comes standard with incredible safety features and technology that would make even more expensive SUV’s envious! Depending on trim level, the Taos is available with such features as: Front collision alert and pedestrian detection with autonomous braking Automatic high beams Rear parking alert Blindspot and rear cross-traffic alert Lane-keeping assist Adaptive cruise control Travel assist steering in traffic jams Automatic post-collision braking Engine brake assist Electronic brake pressure distribution Hill hold and hill descent control “We know our guests are going to be impressed with the safety features and technology in the Taos,” said Garcia. “This is exactly the kind of vehicle that will hit all the right marks when driving in Houston.” Low Cost of Ownership Recently, Vincentric, an independent automotive data firm, conducted a study to establish the best rankings for the lowest cost of automotive maintenance across many manufacturers and various models. Many Volkswagen models were at the top of the list. The VW Jetta, Tiguan, Passat, Arteon, Atlas, and Atlas Cross Sport all received top marks for their low cost of maintenance. Plusat Volkswagen Cypress the 2022 Taos also comes with 3 years roadside assistance, available 24 hours a day, as well as 2 years Scheduled Carefree Maintenance!This includes the first two years of manufacturer-recommended maintenance intervals (two years or 20,000 miles, whichever occurs first) The low cost of ownership for Volkswagen owners is a selling point for the new Taos. “The Taos models just arrived this month and we are already selling out of them,” said Garcia. “We’re offering as low as 1.9% APR on approved credit and a monthly purchase payment of $279/mo!” With its perfect size, economical pricing, projected low cost of ownership, available all-wheel-drive, and pleasing on-road manners, the Taos is another compelling entry in Volkswagen’s expanding SUV lineup.
