Test Drive the 2022 VW Taos

Several highlights stand out among the 2022 Taos performance feature lineup including its 158 horsepower turbocharged engine. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit also impresses with a high-resolution information display that puts you in control.

Stop by Group 1 Volkswagen of Panama City to test drive this small SUV with big performance bonuses, loads of interior space, and available wireless charging. You also get plenty of safety features like stress-reducing Lane (Keeping) Assist included in Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE driver assistance package.

A Performance That Fits Your Needs

Three 2022 Taos models—the S, SE, and SEL trims—give drivers the power and options they need. Each model is equipped with a 1.5 L TSI inline 4-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower, 184 lb-ft of torque, and the high-powered boost of a variable-nozzle turbocharger.

The Taos engine is paired with a standard 8-speed automatic transmission and a front-wheel drivetrain for smooth shifting from start to stop. You can also opt for the available 7-speed DSG (Direct-shift gearbox) automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. This provides quicker, more responsive, and more efficient shifting.

Stay In Control with 4MOTION^® All-Wheel Drive

Drivers who prefer to take a bit more control of their commute should check out the Taos’ 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive models. They evenly distribute power between the front and rear wheels to add stability and optimize traction control.

Volkswagen’s 4MOTION with Active Control also boosts your safety factor with four different available all-wheel-drive modes. At the turn of a dial on the center console, drivers can switch between On-Road Mode, Snow-Mode, Off-Road Mode, and Off-Road Custom Mode to better adapt to their environment.

Cruising with Volkswagen’s Digital Cockpit

Performance features on the 2022 VW Taos extend beyond what’s under the hood to innovative driver technology that makes driving easy and enjoyable. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit keeps drivers informed with an easy-to-see high-resolution digital instrument cluster and steering wheel mounted controls.

It’s easy to access information and switch between displays to find what you’re looking for. Search for fuel economy, altimeter, speedometer, tachometer, compass, driving range, safety features, phone, navigation, and more.

Performance-Centered Safety

The best way to stay safe is to avoid dangerous situations. This is easy with the Taos’ available IQ.DRIVE driver assistance system that uses state-of-the-art technology, cameras, and sensors to give drivers semi-autonomous driving capability.

IQ.DRIVE is like having a co-pilot on board to support you in accelerating, decelerating, steering, and braking. Features like Travel Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, Front Assist, Emergency Assist, and Lane Assist make your journey safer and more relaxing.
