 The 2025 Volkswagen Taos has arrived at McGrath Volkswagen of Dubuque, and it's ready to redefine your urban driving experience. This compact SUV is the perfect blend of style, power, and practicality, making it an ideal choice for city dwellers and adventurers alike. With its updated aesthetics and impressive new features, the Taos stands out in a competitive market.Â
This year, the Taos receives a comprehensive refresh that includes eye-catching styling, a more powerful engine, and upgraded interior materials. The turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine now delivers a robust 174 horsepower, giving you that extra kick when you need it. Whether you choose the standard front-wheel drive or the optional all-wheel drive, you'll enjoy a smooth ride enhanced by an eight-speed automatic transmission. The cabin is now quieter, thanks to improved sound insulation, and it features a modern 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system as standard across all trims.Â
Step inside the Taos, and you'll find a spacious and comfortable interior with 37.9 inches of rear legroom-just shy of the larger Tiguan. The cabin features customizable ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, and a panoramic sunroof option. With 28 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 66 cubic feet with the seats folded down, it's designed to accommodate all your gear.Â
Stay connected with the Taos's intuitive infotainment system, featuring an 8.0-inch touchscreen and a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot. Enjoy seamless smartphone integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with available built-in navigation and a premium audio system.Â

Under the hood, the Taos's turbocharged engine offers remarkable low-speed thrust and seamless shifting, making every drive enjoyable. Although we're awaiting official 0-60 MPH testing with the updated engine, the previous models showcased impressive acceleration times of around 7.4 seconds for front-wheel drive and 7.5 seconds for all-wheel drive. Expect even better performance with the new engine setup.Â
While exact fuel economy ratings for the 2025 Taos are yet to be announced, we anticipate they will remain consistent with previous models, which were rated at 28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway for front-wheel drive, and 25 mpg city and 32 mpg highway for all-wheel drive. During real-world testing, the front-wheel-drive model achieved an astonishing 40 mpg on the highway!Â
Volkswagen backs the Taos with an impressive limited warranty covering four years or 50,000 miles. You'll also benefit from complimentary scheduled maintenance for two years or 20,000 miles, ensuring your vehicle stays in top shape.Â
