The Volkswagen Taos knows how to capture attention with one glance. Its sleek, compact design pairs perfectly with any backdrop: a vibrant urban mural, a boutique square, or the wide-open highway. Its elongated hood curves into a refreshed front fascia. The honeycomb grille adds environmental elegance, and the chrome accents surrounding it provide a modern stylishness you'll love. It's exactly the vibe you're looking for.

The VW Taos features a painter's palette of colours. Platinum Grey and Pure White exude a timelessness that all can appreciate. Serrano Green and Alpine Grey pair perfectly with the optional 18-inch alloy wheels; however, it's the Monterey Blue Pearl that's calling your name.

Why drive into the sunset when its ethereal hues make it the perfect stage? As the fading light casts your VW Taos in a shadow of mystery, dynamic headlights and an available illuminated rear lightbar cut through like a cat's eyes in the dark, alerting the world to your arrival.

Form meets function inside the Volkswagen Taos. As someone with a trendy style, you need practical features that enhance the design of your vehicle. Features like the available leatherette upholstery do just that.

This synthetic leather looks and feels as soft as the genuine material; however, it's more environmentally friendly and may be better suited for your growing family since it's often more durable than the authentic material.

Comfort additions offered as standard or optionally include:

• Dual-zone electronic climate control
• Heated front seats
• 8-way power adjustable driver's seat

No matter the VW Taos trim level, you have complete confidence that your SUV is a reflection of your personality.

Your search for an SUV that feels as modern and dynamic as you are ends with the Volkswagen Taos. This compact SUV is brimming with tech features that help you stay connected and entertained while on the go. Wireless App-Connect brings the power of Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to every commute. Once connected, this system can perform functions like:

• Mirror your device's interface onto the 8-inch touchscreen display.
• Send and receive audio text messages.
• Play your specially curated playlists through your favourite music-streaming app.
• Access dozens of compatible apps to keep you informed and engaged with your ride.

No matter how far from home you roam, the VW Taos ensures the good times never come to an abrupt end due to a low phone battery. An optional wireless charger keeps your phone charged 100 percent, even on busy days full of playdates and errands.

Additional USB-C ports show the longevity of the VW Taos. This SUV aligns with your current needs and provides the features needed years down the road when your kids are grown and have devices of their own.

Driver-assist technologies aren't just about safety--they're about giving you peace of mind while navigating your busy life. With integrated monitoring technology scanning your surroundings for potential hazards, you can focus on what matters most: your family. Subtle chimes and intuitive visual cues give you the reassurance you need to react easily, whether tackling morning commutes or weekend road trips.

IQ.DRIVE® lends a hand with its semi-autonomous capabilities, making highway drives and city navigation feel effortless. Lane-centring technology keeps you steady on long stretches, and you can confidently handle tight spots around town with features like:

• Front Assist
• Lane Assist
• Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• And many more!

Of course, driving a modern SUV isn't just about the tech--it's about the memories you create along the way. Imagine your little ones gazing up through the available panoramic roof, spotting shapes in the clouds, or giggling in the back seat as you glide down the road. The VW Taos blends cutting-edge safety and comfort with those everyday moments that make life so special.

As a parent, your world revolves around your kids, but that doesn't mean you've outgrown the thrill of late-night adventures or spontaneous getaways. Powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine, the Volkswagen Taos is comfortable and responsive. It offers more power than previous model years, topping off at 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque for that perfect balance between smooth sailing and exciting excursions.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to modify your vehicle's performance depending on the environment? Drive mode selection delivers the power of choice with up to six drive modes, including:

• Comfort: Perfect for casual Sunday strolls to Grandma's house or rides home from a day spent at the park.
• Sport: When you want a little boost to your commute, choose this mode--it offers a stiffer steering wheel feel and a more dynamic response to acceleration.
• Individual: Create your path by customizing how your VW Taos performs.

4MOTION® all-wheel drive allows you to modify your SUV's performance benchmarks. When optionally equipped, this drivetrain adds four additional settings, allowing you to tackle all conditions and environments with the traction needed. Where will your VW Taos take you?

Compact meets charisma with the Volkswagen Taos. Its smartly sized profile measures 4,467 millimeteres (175.9 inches) in length. Despite this, the VW Taos designers were mindful of your needs, incorporating an impressive 2,818 litres (99.5 cubic feet) of passenger space. Let's explore how this is divided between the two rows.

The perfectly balanced frame optimizes passenger comfort regardless of where everyone sits. The near-identical dimensions between the two rows ensure long-term comfort through countless growth spurts.

And speaking of the long-term, the cargo capacity of the VW Taos is flexible enough for your change in needs. Its 790-litre (27.9 cubic-foot) capacity offers ample room for diaper bags, strollers, and yoga mats. As your children grow and participate in extracurricular activities, the maximum cargo capacity of 1,866 litres (65.9 cubic feet) offers room for gymnastics bags, science fair project materials, and nature program gear.
