Very Impressed with this small SUV

2024 Volkswagen Taos SEL 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

We purchased a new 2024 SEL at the end of the year and got a very good deal. Cannot believe all the tech the car has. Love the adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and the wireless Apple Carplay. Love the placement of the wireless phone charger too. Also, cannot believe this car also offers heated and ventilated seats in this class of car along with the enormous panoramic sunroof. Feels very premium for this class of car. We purchased the car in Illinois and drove it down to Florida and continued to be impressed with the drive/comfort quality of the car. The car is extremely roomy and has a very solid build quality. We haven't had a VW in our family since our 2000 VW New Beetle and forgot how nice these German cars drive/handle. We compared many other brands when making our car purchase decision and are very happy with our choice.

A fun and punchy drive

2025 Volkswagen Taos SEL 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

It’s small outside, but feels big inside—is it magic? So far, I’m delighted with my Taos SEL. Using the sport mode, I found my initial journey exciting and tight, fun and controlled. More to come during the next weeks I’m sure.

Great car and value

Purchased a new 2024 in May. It gets good fuel mileage, is fun to drive, fits my family of three. The transmission does have some odd shifting going down hill. My biggest complaint is the lack of phone buttons on the steering wheel.
