Volkswagen Taos MPG and Performance

Capable of navigating tight city blocks and long country roads, the VW Taos keeps you at the center of the action, wherever it may be. Equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, it can pick up speed in a cinch while keeping pace with the bigger dogs.

Delivering accurate steering, the standard 8-speed automatic or available 7-speed DSG automatic transmission let you shift without taking a hit to your fuel tank. This is true even when the available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive is in use.

Bad weather in the forecast? Thanks to 4MOTION® with Active Control, you won’t lose confidence. Use the dial in the center console to flip between four distinct drive modes:

• Snow Mode
• On-Road Mode
• Off-Road Mode
• Off-Road Custom Mode

IQ.DRIVE®

The Garden State Parkway just got a lot easier thanks to this innovative suite of driver-assistive technologies. Not only does IQ.DRIVE® keep you better alert of potential hazards, but it also can take semi-control over your driving habits, making for a comfier drive that’s easy on the fuel tank.

Take for instance the available Adaptive Cruise Control system. Simply set a speed and watch the VW Taos maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. As traffic speeds adjust, so does the SUV. No more brake tapping or fuel-sucking acceleration, this feature keeps you moving at the right pace.

3 Ways to Improve Your Volkswagen Taos MPG

With a 13.2-gallon fuel tank, the VW Taos is ready for the long road ahead. To make it possible to enjoy every mile, there are a few easy things you can do, including:

Change Your Oil Every 5,000-7,500 Miles

Fresh, clean oil helps lubricate the engine while removing dangerous particles that find their way inside. Old motor oil weakens fuel efficiency and can create several other issues, like poor acceleration, premature wear, and more.

Check Your Tire Health

At least once per month, visually inspect each of your tires for any signs of damage. Shallow tire treads make it harder for your SUV to grip the roadway. This can lead to greater fuel consumption.

You also should make it a point to check each tire’s air pressure levels. Most local gas stations provide an air pump or you’re welcome to stop by our service center.

Limit Excess Weight

With up to 65.9 cubic feet of cargo space, the VW Taos can handle a hefty load. Still, it’s a smart idea to limit the amount of weight you carry day to day. That extra bag of sports equipment or box of tools places extra pressure on the engine to perform.
