Volkswagen’s compact SUV returns for 2025 with a sharper edge. The refreshed Taos now brings more than just practical performance—it introduces an advanced suite of tech and safety upgrades designed to make every drive smarter, safer, and more connected. Whether navigating city streets or venturing into Ontario’s countryside, this model delivers the modern conveniences drivers expect in a smart-sized package.
Let’s explore what makes this latest iteration a strong contender in the growing tech-savvy SUV segment.
One of the standout upgrades this year is the digital cockpit experience. Even the entry-level trim now includes an 8.0-inch Digital Cockpit display, offering crisp graphics and customizable views for speed, navigation, and driver assistance systems.
The infotainment experience feels more intuitive as well. A new 8.0-inch touchscreen comes standard, while upper trims now feature a 10.25-inch display with updated software and natural voice recognition. You can pair your phone effortlessly with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and even keep it charged with an available wireless charging pad.
Drivers in Canada who depend on year-round connectivity will appreciate how seamlessly the system syncs with mobile devices and VW’s own connected services. Remote vehicle access, climate pre-conditioning, and real-time traffic updates now come together to support your busy lifestyle.
Safety is where this compact SUV truly raises the bar. This year, VW has rolled out a robust suite of IQ.DRIVE features across more trims, making advanced driver assistance more accessible to Canadian drivers.
Forward Collision Warning with Autonomous Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Assist are all now part of the standard offering. Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Traffic Alert help reduce surprises on busy roads, while Emergency Assist brings the vehicle to a controlled stop if the driver becomes unresponsive.
For those tackling icy roads or long cottage commutes, the available all-wheel drive system paired with these smart safety tools can offer peace of mind throughout the seasons.
Beyond the digital features, comfort has also made significant strides. The cabin remains spacious for a subcompact SUV, but it now feels more refined. Softer surfaces and smart interior accents create a premium environment without premium pricing.
The climate control system has gone digital, and heated front seats come standard—an essential touch during Ontario winters. With 790 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats and flexible folding configurations, the vehicle accommodates family life or weekend escapes well.
Under the hood, the 1.5-litre turbocharged engine remains a steady performer, offering a confident 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with either front-wheel or 4MOTION all-wheel drive, allowing you to choose the drive system that best suits your needs.
While the exterior design has seen only mild tweaks—such as a reshaped front fascia and new wheel designs—the updates feel deliberate. LED headlights and available LED light bars give it a contemporary look while maintaining that recognizable VW silhouette. It's an SUV that fits right in, whether you're parked downtown or outside a ski lodge.
