The all-new 2022 Taos is joining the already perfect Volkswagen lineup this year and will give buyers yet another great VW crossover option that has great power, mastered fuel efficiency and ample technologies to keep you and your family safe and entertained on the road. The Taos is geared to take over the segment and surpass its rivals thanks to its spacious interior and unique style, but also thanks to its thrilling driving dynamics.
Here, we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Taos to the 2021 Kia Sportage.
The 2022 Volkswagen Taos delivers power and efficiency
Under the hood of the 2022 Volkswagen Taos, you will find a newly designed 1.5-litre turbocharged engine that produces 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The torque output is really impressive and will enable great accelerations. This engine has more torque than most Sportage grades, which makes it more fun to drive.
Even with all that torque, the 2022 Volkswagen Taos remains very efficient. For example, FWD models will have a consumption rating around 8.4 L/100 km in the city and 6.5 L/100 km on the highway. Those who choose an AWD Taos will only use 9.4 L/100 km in the city and 7.4 L/100 km on the highway.
The Sportage is much less efficient. It uses a more traditional 2.4-litre four cylinder naturally aspirated and a 2.0-litre turbo engine. The 2.4-litre FWD Sportage models rate at 10.1 L/100 km in the city and 7.6/100 km on the highway, while the AWD Sportage equipped with the same engine use 10.8/9.1 in similar conditions.
When you need space to travel with the family, the Taos is the way to go. If you fold the second-row seats, you can enjoy 1,877 litres of total cargo volume.
The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is technologically advanced
When you step inside the Taos, you will immediately recognize that it is a much more advanced SUV.
For example, the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit instrument panel includes customizable displays that enhance your driving experience, and you also get plenty of standard and available safety systems like High Beam Control, an Adaptive Front-Lighting System, Forward Collision Warning with Autonomous Braking (Front Assist), Active Blind Spot Monitor, Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist), Adaptive Cruise Control, and Park Distance Control.
