The New Volkswagen Taos Unvelied

Volkswagen Taos

Volkswagen just unveiled their brand new compact SUV, the Volkswagen Taos! In the US, and we know this rings true for our customers here in Greeley, Colorado, over half of VW buyers chose an SUV. That's up from just 14% SUV buyers in 2016. Volkswagen has heard us, releasing two new small SUVs in the past two weeks! First we saw the 100% electric ID.4 and now we have the Taos, which we expect to arrive during the summer of 2021. The Volkswagen Taos will be the smallest and least expensive SUV in the lineup. It will be 9.3 inches shorter than the Tiguan. This puts in at the larger end of the subcompact segment or smaller end of the compact segment. It's a nice middle ground for those who want the utility of an SUV but don't need quite so much space. The Taos sports a similar boxy look to the Atlas. This more aggressive look sets it apart from some of the funkier looking subcompacts with which it will compete.

Interior

Screen Shot 2020-10-14 at 7.32.41 PM Despite its compact size, the Taos offers generous cargo space, with 28 cubic feet when the rear seats are in use and 66 cubit feet when those back seats are folded down. The interior looks clean, sporting a new steering wheel design with the new logo and crisp display screens. The VW digital cockpit comes standard and the center touchscreen with voice control will be available in 3 different sizes, 6.5", 8" or 10" depending on trim. Wireless charging and app control are available on mid-level trims. Car-Net also comes with every Taos, enabling in-car WiFi capability. As for the engine, we're looking at a turbocharged 1.5 L four cylider, providing 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. It will be available in front wheel drive, for those more concerned with fuel economy or VW's impressive 4MOTION AWD variation.

Design and Tech

A personal favorite is the LED illuminated running through the center of the grille that connect the daytime running lights to the new VW logo featured in the center. The taillights in the rear have a very similar, sharp layout, connecting the design elements from front to back. The Taos will also provide the IQ.DRIVE® suite of driver assistance technology on every model, making driving safer and less stressful. Included are Forward Collision Warning with Autonomous Braking (Front Assist), Active Blind Spot Monitor, Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist), Adaptive Cruise Control with a Stop and Go feature, Travel Assist and Emergency Assist. High Beam Control (Light Assist), the Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), and Park Distance Control are also available.   The Volkswagen Taos proves that good things can come in small, expertly engineered packages!

ID.4 Electric SUV The Volkswagen ID.4 is coming soon and we're so excited to bring it to you! VW's 100% electric SUV with available all wheel drive will be unveiled on September 23 and reservations open that same day. For only $100, you can reserve yours. The deposit is completely refundable if you change your mind, but will ensure you're first in line for this exciting new electric vehicle. What We Know So Far The first edition will arrive late 2020, with the other editions coming very early 2021. While we need to wait for unveiling to have official details, we're expecting an affordable price point and an impressive range that'll satisfy the daily driving needs of most. On the all wheel drive version, there will be dual electric motors, one between the front two wheels and one between the rear wheels. This will provide excellent performance and handling, no matter what Colorado's unpredictable weather throws at you! We expect the ID.4 to be packed with plenty of safety and tech features to enhance the ownership and driving experience. It will also feature an extremely spacious interior for both front and rear passengers alike. Based on the ID.CROZZ concept, the ID.4 is the second vehicle to use the VW’s modular electric drive architecture (MEB), and the first to be sold in America. The “ID” name stands for intelligent design, identity and visionary technologies, and the number 4 identifies the new model as a compact SUV segment. Charging Your ID.4 The ID.4 will be compatible with DC Fast Charging, allowing you to charge in approximately 30 minutes! This will make the electric driving experience, especially if you're switching from a conventional gas vehicle, extremely convenient and easy.

We already have a DC fast charger available for use at Greeley Volkswagen, so you already know where you can plug in here in Greeley, Colorado! The ID.4 can also be charged with Level 2 equipment, which takes longer, but is available for in home installation. This means you can get more affordable charging equipment at your home for overnight charging, but still take advantage of fast charging when you're on the go. It's the best of both worlds! Accessibility VW's goal for the ID.4 is to make it for the millions, not just millionaires. It's going to be accessible to all, in an effort to make EV adoption easier for you! In addition to a reasonable price point, the ID.4 will allow you to qualify for up to $7,500 in federal tax credits and additional state tax credits.
