2025 Volkswagen Taos - What’s new?

For its fourth year on the market, the Taos gets a number of updates and improvements. The exterior design has been made bolder, notably at the front. The bumper is new, and the front grill has been redesigned and now incorporates new LED headlights, as well as an optional light bar. The VW badge is now illuminated.

The vehicle rides on new 17-, 18- or 19-inch wheels, and the offering includes three new colours: Serrano Green Metallic, Monterey Blue Pearl and Alpine Grey.

Inside, the change is even more noticeable. The new dashboard features an 8-inch multimedia screen, standard on all models. The Climatronic dual-zone automatic climate control system, with touch-sensitive controls, is also standard.

Interior materials have also been upgraded, with fabric seats for the Trendline version, MicroCloud leatherette for the Comfortline variant and genuine leather for the Highline variant.

Under the hood, the 2025 Taos retains its 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, but it has been updated and now offers 174 hp, up from 158 in the outgoing model. 4Motion all-wheel drive models feature a new 8-speed auto transmission, replacing the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox.
