10 Key Features That Make Winter Life Easier in the 2025 Volkswagen Taos

Winter driving in Canada demands more from your vehicle than just getting from point A to point B. The redesigned 2025 Volkswagen Taos steps up to Canadian winter challenges with a comprehensive suite of cold-weather features and capabilities that transform winter driving from an ordeal into an adventure.


With its upgraded 174-hp engine and enhanced technology package, the 2025 Taos delivers the confidence you need when temperatures drop and road conditions deteriorate. Here are ten standout features that make the Taos your ideal winter companion.


  1. Enhanced 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive

Take on snow-covered roads with confidence using Volkswagen's sophisticated 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, now paired with a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission for even better control in winter conditions.


  1. Advanced Safety Technology

Navigate winter weather safely with standard IQ.DRIVE features including Front Assist with Pedestrian Monitoring and Travel Assist, providing extra confidence when visibility is reduced by snow or sleet.


  1. Dual-Zone Climatronic Temperature Control

Standard on all trims, the new dual-zone automatic climate control system with touch controls lets you and your passengers maintain ideal comfort levels during frigid Canadian winters.


  1. Heated Front Seats and Steering Wheel

Standard heated front seats and a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel keep you comfortable from the moment you start your journey, even on the coldest mornings.


  1. LED Lighting System

Standard LED projector headlights with dynamic cornering lights illuminate winter's longer nights, while LED taillights with an illuminated rear badge enhance visibility to other drivers.


  1. Improved Cold-Weather Performance

The updated 1.5-litre turbocharged engine, now producing 174 hp, includes specific hardware changes like revised piston rings and a larger intercooler for reliable cold-weather starts and operation.


  1. Acoustic Dampening

New sound-dampening treatments throughout the cabin create a quieter interior, letting you enjoy peaceful drives even when winter winds howl outside.


  1. Park Distance Control

Available front and rear parking sensors help you navigate tight spaces with confidence, especially useful when snow banks restrict visibility.


  1. Rain-Sensing Wipers

Standard rain-sensing wipers automatically adjust to changing precipitation, whether it's light snow or heavy sleet, keeping your windshield clear without manual adjustment.
