If you’re looking for a reliable, stylish, and practical car that can take you from Point A to Point B without breaking the bank, then the Volkswagen Taos and Subaru Crosstrek are both great options. However, if you’re on the fence about which one to purchase, there are some key reasons why choosing the 2023 Volkswagen Taos is a better choice. Let’s explore three of them.
Interior and Cargo Space
The Volkswagen Taos has a lot more interior and cargo space than its Suburu Crosstrek counterpart. The Taos features more than 2,800 litres of passenger volume compared to Subaru's 2,400L. In addition, it also offers 790L of cargo space behind its rear seats (compared with Subaru's 589 litres). This makes it ideal for those who need extra room for luggage or other items when they hit the road again.
Powertrain and Technology
The Volkswagen Taos also comes equipped with a more powerful powertrain than that of the Subaru Crosstrek—a 158 horsepower/184 lb-ft of torque turbocharged 1.5L engine versus a 152 horsepower/145 lb-ft of torque 2.0-litre engine in the Crosstrek—as well as an 8-speed automatic transmission compared to CVT in the Crosstrek. In addition, it also offers an array of advanced driver assistance systems like forward collision warning, pedestrian monitoring system, and lane keep assist for added safety and convenience on all your journeys.
Convenience
Finally, when it comes to convenience features, the Volkswagen Taos takes home first prize again over its Suburu rival thanks to features like the available 10.25” Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro as well as available wireless charging capability for your smartphone. The Taos also offers optional heated (and cooled!) front seats with multiple settings so you can stay warm no matter where your journey takes you!
Overall, if you’re debating between purchasing a 2023 Taos or a 2023 Crosstrek, then we highly recommend opting for the former due to its larger interior and cargo space, higher powertrain capabilities combined with loads of technology & convenience features that make it ideal for any journey big or small!
