If you’re after a new commuter or family SUV, look no further than the 2025 Volkswagen Taos. This compact SUV is set to wow Milwaukee drivers with its modernized exterior, athletic powertrain, and cutting-edge technology. We bring you the lowdown on the new and revamped Taos.
Basics About the 2025 Volkswagen Taos
By enhancing everything drivers loved about the previous Taos models, VW has created a compact SUV for the future. An external makeover sees a bolder grille, a more modern-looking bumper, and stunning LED projector headlights adorning the front fascia. A refreshed LED taillight strip spans the rear with a new illuminated VW badge at its center.
For 2025, the Taos lineup consists of four trim configurations: the S, SE, SE Black, and SEL. Each model boasts its own unique features, helping them cater to the differing needs of Milwaukee drivers. VW also gives you even more ways to customize your Taos by adding three new paint options to the color palette, including Monterey Blue Pearl and Bright Moss Green.
New Features
Power Upgrade
Although the new Taos retains the 1.5-liter engine from last year’s model, it receives some upgrades to boost both performance and efficiency. By redesigning the turbo housing, enlarging the intercooler, and adding revised piston rings and fuel injectors, VW manages to increase the engine’s output to 174 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.
These revisions also improve efficiency, and drivers can now expect to achieve 36 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg when driving around Milwaukee.
Revamped Interior
It’s not just the Taos’ exterior that receives a fresh look for 2025. VW also revamps the cabin, adding sporty touches, including contrast stitching and soft-touch surfaces, for a more modern finish. A new dashboard layout gives drivers an eight-inch digital display for viewing gauges and other important information.
An infotainment upgrade introduces an eight-inch floating touchscreen with Bluetooth smartphone compatibility. You also receive VW’s Car-Net technology which turns your Taos into a potential Wi-Fi hotspot.
Advanced Safety Technology
The new Taos is one of the safest compact SUVs on the road thanks to its advanced safety systems. Every trim, including the entry-level S, comes with IQ.DRIVE as standard, Volkswagen’s extensive suite of driver-assist features.
Helping prevent accidents and keep you, your passengers, and other road users safe on busy city streets is forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian monitoring. Other features, such as rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and lane assist enhance the driving experience when you take to the open highway.
From its redesigned exterior and modernized interior to its upgraded powertrain and state-of-the-art safety tech, the new Taos stands head-and-shoulders above the competition. Contact us or stop by Volkswagen of Milwaukee North in Milwaukee, WI today to check out the new Taos for yourself.
