Let’s explore eight of the most interesting features in the 2024 Volkswagen Taos.
1. 1.5L TSI Turbo Engine
The 2024 Volkswagen Taos has a 1.5L TSI 16-valve DOHC Turbo 4-cylinder engine. This engine offers 158 horsepower with 184 lb.-ft. of torque, mated to a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission for smoother acceleration. You will find it has plenty of pickup when you step on the gas.
2. Volkswagen Digital Cockpit
The new Taos features an 8-inch non-configurable digital instrument display. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit sits just behind the steering wheel and displays your location, direction, speed, and fuel consumption on a color display screen. It’s all the information the driver needs in one organized spot.
3. Volkswagen Front Assist Intelligent Driver Aid
Front Assist is an assistive safety feature that provides Forward Collision Warning with Autonomous Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Monitoring. This function uses cameras and sensors to monitor the space in front of your car, alerting you to potential collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians. If you’re unable to hit the brakes in time, it applies the emergency brakes to avoid a collision.
4. Intelligent Crash Response System
The available Intelligent Crash Response System detects when your Taos has been in an accident and initiates a series of actions to assist you. In the event of an accident, ICRS turns off the fuel pump, unlocks your doors, and turns on the hazard lights.
5. Rain-Sensing Intermittent Front Wipers
Rain-sensing front windshield wipers automatically turn on and off by seeing the amount of precipitation on your windshield. These variable intermittent wipers also adjust their speed according to the amount of moisture on the windshield.
6. App-Connect Smartphone Integration
Connect your compatible smartphone with your Taos through a simple USB port. Through the App-Connect feature, you can use Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a wide range of cell phone features on the digital touchscreen in your cabin.
7. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert
