Volkswagen Taos Parts

Meet the Volkswagen Taos, a compact crossover SUV that signals a new chapter in the company's global lineup. Since its debut back in 2018 as the Tharu in China and then in 2020 across Russia and the Americas, the Taos has quickly become one of Volkswagen's most important vehicles. Designed on the Volkswagen Group MQB A1 platform with the SEAT Ateca and Skoda Karoq, it blends robustness with elegance. With dimensions ranging from a wheelbase of 2,638 to 2,690 mm to a length of 4,417 to 4,465 mm, a width of 1,841 mm, and a height of up to 1,635 mm or down to 1,602 mm depending on whether they are equipped with touring racks, the Volkswagen Taos offers spacious interiors that rival those of larger SUVs. Comfortable cabin space is complemented by significant cargo space. Under the hood, there is a wide range of options, such as engines from 1.2 L to 2.0 L, transmissions from manual five-speed gearboxes to seven-speed DSG, and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, so that customers can tailor their choice exactly to their own needs when choosing any variant. In North America, it will be offered with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine (TSI) producing an estimated peak power output of 158 hp at between approximately 5 and 6 thousand rpm. Other engine versions will be available according to each market's requirements and fuel quality specifications. The Volkswagen Taos looks sporty and confident even standing still, thanks to LED headlights framing both sides of an all-new front grille design that houses active shutters for improved aerodynamics. Safety is another highlight, as it earned a five-star Latin NCAP rating for adult protection over full wrap-around crash tests plus side impact tests in terms of child and adult occupant protection. With the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, MIB3 infotainment software, and an extensive range of assist systems, the Volkswagen Taos is also one of the most technologically advanced SUVs in its segment.
