5 Reasons New College Grads Will Love the Volkswagen Taos

Why the VW Taos is Being Hailed as One of the Top Volkswagen Vehicles for Young Drivers

The life of a recent college grad has a distinct coming-of-age feel about it. On the one hand, you’ve officially closed the chapter on formal education. On the other hand, you must now embark upon a journey of starting a career and finding your place in the world. You’ve gone from writing research papers to writing resumes.

Now that school is over, you’ve got to lock down the right job, the right apartment, and a vehicle that reflects your newfound adult sensibilities. However, new cars aren’t exactly cheap, so whatever you get will need to fall in line with a tight budget while delivering some key items on your wish list.

This is exactly why recent college graduates love the 2023 Volkswagen Taos. Not only is it the perfect vehicle for a first-time buyer, but it delivers on the adage “good things come in small packages” like no other SUV before it.

The following breaks down our top five reasons why the VW Taos is one of the best Volkswagen vehicles for a recent college grad. Afterwards, we’ll provide some info on how to test drive the Taos at your local VW dealership in Houston.

#1 – The Ultra-Low Sticker Price
We realize the terms “brand-new” and “affordable” typically aren’t mentioned in the same sentence, but that’s one of the reasons why the Taos is so popular among first-time buyers. With the starting MSRP of $24,155, the VW Taos is easily one of the most competitively priced SUVs in its class. It’s also worth noting that our financing department is great at making the numbers work for first-time buyers.

#2 – The Phenomenal Fuel Economy
Another thing graduates love about the Volkswagen Taos is it knows how to stretch a dollar at the gas pumps. To put this in perspective, here are the estimated fuel economy ratings for three of our most popular SUVs.

Volkswagen Atlas gas mileage: 21 city/25 highway
Volkswagen Tiguan gas mileage: 23 city/30 highway
Volkswagen Taos gas mileage: 28 city/36 highway

If you’ve been hunting for an SUV that can go the distance, you can’t go wrong with the VW Taos.

#3 – The Driving Style and Handling
The VW Taos features a sub-compact body style and is light on curb weight, which is why it gets such great gas mileage. Its lean-and-mean build also explains why drivers prefer how the Taos handles compared to other SUVs that have more bulk. The Taos is quick, nimble, and has plenty of agility for bobbing and weaving through traffic.

#4 – The Features and Infotainment
Just because the VW Taos is affordable doesn’t mean that it skimps on features and infotainment. Drivers of the Taos and other late model Volkswagen vehicles will have an assortment of upscale technology and safety features at their beck and call.

IQ.DRIVE, for instance, is a suite of driver assistance features that keeps constant watch for potential hazards in your vicinity. Volkswagen Digital Cockpit reimagines the typical analog display into a crystal-clear digital readout that you can customize. And, of course, the Taos comes with App-Connect for integrating your Android or Apple smartphone, delivering a true hands-free experience.

#5 – The Graduation Discount
To sweeten the deal, we’re offering college graduates a $500 discount on the purchase or lease on select new Volkswagen vehicles. That includes Volkswagen SUV models, sedans, and compacts.
