Is the 2024 VW Taos Really Worth the Hype?

The 2025 Volkswagen Taos continues to hold its ground in the growing compact CUV segment and is a key model in VW’s growing CUV/SUV lineup. For 2025, the Taos gets a mid-cycle upgrade offering more power and some interior and exterior enhancements while largely holding the line on price. The carryover 1.5L turbocharged 4-cyl. has been boosted from 158 hp to 174 hp. Despite not having a hybrid in the lineup, fuel economy is a respectable 36 mpg (6.5L/100km) on the highway.

S starts at $24,995
SE $27,895
SE Black $30,145
SEL at $36,695
