Performance & Fuel Efficiency

The Taos has an overall cargo space of 65.5 cu. ft. compared to the Honda HR-V’s 55.1 cu. ft. Passengers will benefit from this larger space with more legroom, headroom, and shoulder space in the Volkswagen Taos.

Taos drivers will have an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display with user-friendly controls, navigation, and access to apps like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, in contrast to the standard HR-V’s 7-inch screen.
