Volkswagen plans yet another entry into the profitable crossover and SUV segment, this time with the elegant Taos. The 2022 VW Taos is the automaker’s smallest and least expensive SUV – yes, it even beats the Tiguan in those categories – but still boasts the stately exterior and gee-whiz features that have become VW mainstays in recent years.

?Taos is our fifth new addition to the Volkswagen SUV family in just four years, and we?re thrilled to keep finding new ways to meet the needs of American families,? said Scott Keogh, CEO, Volkswagen Group of America. ?Taos will bookend our compact SUV offering, giving buyers all the style, technology, and drivability that Volkswagen is known for at an even more affordable price.?

Exterior Styling: Stance & Wheel Designs
If you want to catch eyes as you drive down the road, this might be the SUV for you. The Taos is a sophisticated ride built for adults, as evidenced by its boxy, mature stance, bold front end, sculpted hood, LED headlights, and refined curves. You can choose one of eight body colors and four different wheel designs. The 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are standard, but you can opt for one of two 18-inch wheel designs or 19-inch wheels. A panoramic sunroof is optional.
