The 2025 Volkswagen Taos is proof that great things come in small packages. VW’s compact five-seater SUV boasts a fresh, modernized design, a more athletic powertrain, and cutting-edge tech to help it stand out from the crowd. We bring you the details of the new Volkswagen Taos.

Basics About the 2025 Volkswagen Taos

The Taos has been revamped for 2025, with VW redesigning the front grille and bumper for a bolder, more modern look. LED projector headlamps automatically switch on in low-light conditions, and LED daytime running lamps ensure you’re seen at all times. A stylish taillight strip with an illuminated VW badge at its center runs across the rear fascia.

Volkswagen also expands the color palette to include more vibrant colors. Drivers can now customize their Taos by painting the body in Bright Moss Green, Deep Black Pearl, Monterey Blue Pearl, or one of the existing metallic shades, such as Platinum Gray or Pyrite Silver.

New Features

Improved Performance

Even the Taos’ internal workings receive an upgrade for 2025 to maximize performance and efficiency. The 1.5-liter turbocharged TSI engine has been updated with a revised turbo housing, an enlarged intercooler, and new fuel injectors and piston rings, resulting is an increased output of 174 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.

By making these few changes, VW has also managed to boost the Taos’ fuel efficiency. Drivers can now expect to achieve an impressive 36 mpg when riding the highway and 28 mpg while driving around the city.

Modernized Interior

An interior makeover sees the new Taos decked out with soft-touch surfaces and black and gray cloth seating with contrast stitching for a more sporty look. VW also reconfigures the dashboard, with vehicle data now relayed to the driver via an eight-inch digital instrument display.

Hovering above the central dash is an eight-inch infotainment touchscreen with Bluetooth technology, so you can wirelessly sync your smartphone and access your favorite apps. Volkswagen Car-Net is also included with every trim, allowing you to activate the Wi-Fi hotspot function and turn your Taos into a connectivity center.

IQ.DRIVE Safety Technologies

Every Taos, including the base S trim, is equipped with the IQ.DRIVE system, VW’s advanced suite of driver-assist technologies that enhance every drive and help improve road safety. Assistance on the open highway comes from adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring. Pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, and automatic braking are also standard, helping prevent accidents on busy city streets.

With its efficient engine, state-of-the-art safety tech, and feature-rich interior, the VW Taos is perfect for urban dwellers, commuters, and families. Contact us or visit DeMontrond Volkswagen in Houston, TX today, and let us introduce you to this compact SUV with a big attitude.
