For the 2025 model year, revised exterior styling and an expanded selection of paint options are joined by new wheel designs to deliver even more curb appeal. The updated exterior now sports a more expressive front-end look, including a new bumper design, a new grille with an available light bar, and standard LED projector headlights with available Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS). Connected taillights and an illuminated Volkswagen badge at the rear add to the distinctive, upscale appearance.
Upgraded in-car tech and powertrain refinements further elevate the appeal of this neatly packaged compact sport-utility vehicle. Specifically, the interior now sports a new dashboard design that features an 8-inch floating infotainment screen. Under the hood, the Taos's 1.5-liter turbocharged engine gets a power hike from 158 to 174 horsepower, while the all-wheel-drive model now has an eight-speed conventional automatic transmission in place of the previous DSG dual-clutch automatic.
