Volkswagen Taos Trim Levels
The Volkswagen Taos is an exciting compact SUV that offers lots of storage space, safety features, and a stylish design. There are lots of features and options available, plus three enticing trim levels. Which one is right for you? Toms River VW put this Volkswagen Taos trim levels comparison together to help drivers in Toms River, Brick, and Freehold, NJ, decide.
VW Taos S
The VW Taos S starts things off by arriving on 17-inch wheels and including a set of convenient roof rails. It’s also prepared to give you good visibility with standard LED headlights and LED Daytime Running Lights.
Under the hood, you’ll have a sporty 1.5L TSI turbo engine that gets up to 158 horsepower. Its paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. This configuration is standard on every trim level.
Inside, you’ll find a handy push-button start and comfortable cloth seats. The interior is also equipped with 6-way manually adjustable front seats, so it’s easy to kick back and relax. Meanwhile, you’ll have lots of technology at the ready.
The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit is a high-tech instrument cluster, while the dashboard is home to a 6.5-inch Composition Color touchscreen. This Bluetooth® compatible system lets you stream music and make hands-free calls, while the App-Connect system lets you sync your smartphone apps using Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™.
You can even rely on your dashboard monitor to help you stay safe. Just put your SUV in reverse and the standard Rear View Camera System will give you a better look at what’s behind you when you’re backing up.
VW Taos SE
The VW Taos SE features the same powertrain as the base trim but upgrades the appearance with 18-inch wheels. It’s also better prepared for winter weather with heated windshield washer nozzles and heated side mirrors.
The cabin is decked out in CloudTex upholstery and features both a leatherette-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob. There are more ways to get comfortable, too, with heated front seats and an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support.
There’s also more technology, including an 8-inch touchscreen with voice control, SiriusXM®, and a wireless smartphone charger. Plus, you’ll have driver-assistive technology, like a Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking, looking out for you while you drive.
VW Taos SEL
The final trim level is the VW Taos SEL. It has its own bold accents, including 18-inch black alloy wheels. You’ll also enjoy greater visibility, thanks to Light Assist, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a low-speed corner-illuminating feature that lets you see what’s around the next turn.
The interior gets some additional upgrades as well, including leather seats, Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control, BeatsAudio®, and the fully customizable Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro. You’ll still have an 8-inch touchscreen, but it now includes a navigation system.
In addition to seeing where you’re going, you’ll also be more aware of what’s around your SUV with safety features, like Lane Assist, a Blind Spot Monitor, and Rear Traffic Alert.
