Volkswagen Taos vs Acura RDX
Where you go, we hope memories will follow. Toms River VW has built our business in the tight-knit communities of Toms River, Brick, and Freehold, NJ. Each town has a different story to tell, one that fits well with the prowess between the Volkswagen Taos and Acura RDX.
Engineered to impress, both subcompact SUVs provide their own oomph, their own vitality. Are you ready to explore a more luxurious driving experience?
Stop Less with the VW Taos
Drivers are certain to find lasting impressions with the Acura RDX as they do their research. The 16-valve DOHC valvetrain in the RDX paves the way for its 4-cylinder engine to perform with ease and comfort in any condition. Like the VW Taos, the Acura RDX comes standard with a front-wheel drivetrain; all-wheel drive is available for interested drivers.
Unlike the Acura RDX, though, the VW Taos is engineered to provide for longer drives with fewer visits to the gas station. That’s because the EPA-estimated 28 city/36 highway MPG handily bests that of the Acura’s fuel economy, an EPA-estimated 22 city/28 highway MPG.1 The world is now your oyster.
VW Taos Stores More
One of the surefire compliments that can be handed to both subcompact SUVs is their commitment to sophisticated interior design. Nevertheless, their differences lie in what you may not be able to see with the naked eye—room for your bags, bikes, and more.
The Acura RDX doesn’t skimp with its available space, although it does pale in comparison to what’s found in the VW Taos. Enjoy 65.9 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seats folded down to store all that you need transported; this is noticeably larger than the 58.9 total cubic feet found in the Acura RDX.
Additionally, tall drivers and passengers may prefer the VW Taos for its spaciousness. Whereas the Acura RDX provides 40 inches of front headroom, the VW Taos adds 40.7 inches for front passengers, and 39.8 inches in the back seats.
VW Taos vs Acura RDX: Cruise with Peace of Mind
Designed to make the best of their technological capabilities, both the VW Taos and Acura RDX include a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features. Known as IQ.DRIVE and AcuraWatch™, respectively, their driver-assist features make for safe driving through and through.
Some of the expected features provided by each subcompact SUV include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Assist
- Front Assist
- Active Blind Spot Monitor
One particularly handy feature exclusively available with the VW Taos is Travel Assist. This system acts as a hands-on, semi-autonomous assistant that can lend a helping hand with steering, accelerating, and braking—all with the help of cameras and sensors. If needed, Travel Assist can prove to be a memorable feature.
