5 Things You Need to Know About the 2025 Volkswagen Taos

The 2025 Volkswagen Taos has been refreshed in ways that matter. It keeps the compact SUV spirit but steps up in power, tech, and design. At Cornwall Centre Volkswagen in Cornwall, Ontario, we have seen how these changes matter for drivers here. Here are five features that make the 2025 Taos worth your attention.

New Inventory Used Inventory

1. More power under the hood

One of the biggest upgrades is the engine. The 2025 Taos now delivers 174 hp from its 1.5-litre turbo four-cylinder. That is 16 hp more than before. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic for both front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions. The extra power makes acceleration feel stronger, especially when merging or climbing hills.

2. Standard tech you'll use every day

Volkswagen made sure tech isn't just an extra. The 2025 Taos comes with an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen as standard. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available. Optional trims can add built-in navigation, premium audio, and even ambient lighting inside. The dashboard is cleaner now. Buttons are reduced in favour of capacitive controls in mid to higher trims.

3. Safety and driver aids via IQ.DRIVE

Every Taos gains access to VW's IQ.DRIVE suite of driver assistance tools. Features like forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise are part of that. On higher trims, there may be additional features like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. These assist you when driving on highways or winding rural roads.

4. Refreshed exterior and design touches

The 2025 model carries a bolder look. LED headlights are now standard. The front fascia, grille, and bumper designs have been refined. New body colours like Bright Moss Green and Monterey Blue are offered in Canada. In trims that offer a sunroof, a panoramic roof may be optional to let in more light on scenic drives along waterfront.

5. Trim options and fuel use

There are multiple trims for the 2025 Taos. The base models are more modest but still include important features. Higher trims bring extras like leatherette or heated seats, ambient lighting, and more safety aids. Fuel consumption in Canadian testing should mirror previous figures: around 8.3 L/100 km city and 6.4 L/100 km highway for front-wheel drive models. All-wheel drive versions will use somewhat more.
