Volkswagen's 2025 SUV lineup showcases the brand's commitment to delivering potent, efficient performance through advanced turbocharged engines. From the compact Taos to the three-row Atlas, each model features precisely engineered powertrains that balance impressive output with practical efficiency for Canadian driving conditions.
The German automaker's strategic approach to powertrain development becomes clear when examining the distinct characteristics of each SUV's engine. These powertrains demonstrate how Volkswagen adapts its turbocharged technology to suit different vehicle sizes and driver needs while maintaining consistent performance standards across the lineup.
The Compact Powerhouse: 2025 Taos
At the heart of the 2025 Taos sits a refined 1.5-litre TSI turbocharged engine delivering 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This upgraded powerplant offers enhanced performance compared to previous generations while achieving an impressive combined fuel economy rating of 7.4 L/100 km. The engine pairs with an 8-speed automatic transmission in front-wheel-drive models, making it an ideal choice for urban commuting and weekend adventures.
The All-New 2025 Tiguan's Enhanced Performance
Moving up the lineup, the completely redesigned 2025 Tiguan features a revised 2.0-litre turbocharged EA888 engine that now produces 201 horsepower - a notable increase from the previous 184 hp rating. The new Tiguan benefits from a 77-kilogram weight reduction, improving both acceleration and fuel efficiency. This combination of increased power and reduced mass creates a more dynamic driving experience while maintaining practical fuel consumption for daily use.
Atlas: Full-Size Power and Capability
The 2025 Atlas rounds out the lineup with its muscular 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged engine generating 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This robust powertrain enables a 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs) towing capacity, making it capable of handling family adventures and recreational activities. Despite its substantial power output, the Atlas achieves a respectable combined fuel economy rating of 11.1 L/100 km.
Advanced Engineering Across the Range
All three powertrains incorporate Volkswagen's latest turbocharged technology and engineering advances. Standard features across the lineup include start/stop systems with regenerative braking, contributing to improved fuel efficiency in urban driving conditions. The available 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system optimizes power delivery based on driving conditions, enhancing both performance and safety on Canadian roads.
Efficiency Without Compromise
These turbocharged engines demonstrate Volkswagen's ability to extract maximum performance from smaller displacement engines while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. The lineup's combined fuel economy ratings range from 7.4 L/100 km in the Taos to 11.1 L/100 km in the Atlas, providing practical everyday efficiency regardless of vehicle size.
