In a world of oversized SUVs and underwhelming crossovers, the 2025 Volkswagen Taos hits a sweet spot that small families have been searching for. It’s compact enough for city driving, spacious enough for weekend getaways, and smart enough to keep everyone connected and safe. If you’re raising a young crew and need a vehicle that works as hard as you do, the Taos deserves a serious look.
Room to Grow: Interior Space That Makes Sense
Let’s start with the basics: space. The Taos may be classified as a compact SUV, but it punches above its weight in terms of interior volume.
- Rear legroom: 37.9 inches—plenty for car seats or growing kids
- Cargo capacity: Up to 65.9 cu ft with the rear seats folded (FWD models)
- Flexible seating: 60/40 split-folding rear seats with a pass-through armrest for long items like strollers or sports gear
Whether it’s backpacks, groceries, or a weekend’s worth of camping gear, the Taos adapts quickly to your family’s changing needs.
Safety First: Features That Protect What Matters Most
Volkswagen didn’t skimp on safety. Every 2025 Taos comes standard with IQ.DRIVE, a suite of driver assistance features that help prevent accidents and reduce stress behind the wheel.
- Forward Collision Warning + Autonomous Emergency Braking
- Blind Spot Monitoring + Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Lane Assist + Adaptive Cruise Control
- Park Distance Control + Light Assist for high beams
- Child seat anchors + rear door child safety locks
These aren’t just checkboxes—they’re real-world tools that make daily driving safer for you and your passengers.
Tech That Keeps Up With Your Family’s Pace
From school drop-offs to soccer practice, families are always on the move—and the Taos keeps up with smart, intuitive tech.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto (SE and above)
- VW Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 4 devices
- Available wireless charging pad
- Digital cockpit display on higher trims
- SiriusXM satellite radio with a trial subscription
No more tangled cords or bored passengers. The Taos turns every trip into a connected experience.
Fuel Efficiency That Doesn’t Compromise
Gas prices fluctuate, but the Taos stays efficient:
- FWD models: 28 mpg city / 36 mpg highway / 31 mpg combined
- AWD models: 25 mpg city / 33 mpg highway / 28 mpg combined
That means fewer stops at the pump—and more money for weekend adventures or school supplies.
Built for Real Life, Not Just Brochures
The 2025 Taos isn’t rated for towing, and that’s okay—it’s not trying to be a rugged off-roader. Instead, it focuses on what families actually need: comfort, cargo space, connectivity, and confidence. With upgraded interior materials like leatherette door cards and soft-touch surfaces, it feels more premium than its price tag suggests.
And with Volkswagen’s 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, you get peace of mind that lasts well beyond the first road trip.
Final Thoughts: A Compact SUV That Understands Families
The 2025 Volkswagen Taos isn’t just a good car for small families—it’s a smart one. It’s designed for the way real people live, drive, and grow. From its spacious cabin to its thoughtful tech and safety features, it’s a vehicle that supports your family’s journey every mile of the way.
