Volkswagen Taos
Model Overview
The Taos marks the first time Volkswagen has fielded a vehicle in the subcompact crossover class. It’s a big move, because this segment is where many car buyers now look for entry-level models. And though it competes as a subcompact, the VW Taos’ spacious interior, refinement and turbocharged performance make it feel like it belongs a class above. Notably, the Taos’ beginning is the beginning of the end for the much-loved Golf hatchback in Canada.
