Both VW SUVs come with standard cloth seats and offer available V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces that are stylish and durable. For an even more timeless appearance, you can upgrade to available leather seating surfaces. In the Volkswagen Taos, you can also choose an available CloudTex seat trim.
For extra comfort up front, you can upgrade with optional Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control in either model. This enables both the driver and front passenger to pick their preferred temperature preferences.
Inside these cabins, you can upgrade infotainment with an 8-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation. Standard App-Connect with available wireless capability enables you to access certain apps, respond to messages, and more through the display.
When it comes to turning up your favorite tunes, you can choose the optional BeatsAudio® system in the VW Taos or the available Fender® Premium Audio System in the VW Tiguan. For pertinent trip information, you can turn to the standard Volkswagen Digital Cockpit in either model. View everything from your current speed to route guidance and more.
When it comes to powering forward, you will find peppy engines under the hood of each model. In the 2022 Volkswagen Taos, there is a standard 1.5L turbocharged engine, while in the 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan, you will find a standard 2.0L turbocharged engine.
For continual traction, you can upgrade either model with 4MOTION® all-wheel drive. It automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels to maximize traction and help keep you in control. The 4MOTION® upgrade also includes Active Control, which comes with the following drive modes for a more personalized ride:
Whether you’re heading North for the holidays or want to venture off the beaten path, these convenient drive modes enable you to adapt at a moment’s notice. If you want to tow oversized items, like a lightweight pop-up camper, you can do that with the VW Tiguan thanks to its 1,500-pound maximum available towing capacity when properly equipped.
If you prefer an easily maneuverable compact SUV with unique seating surfaces, the VW Taos may be the best option for you. On the other hand, if you want an extra row of seats and the ability to tow, the VW Tiguan will suit your needs.
