Experience the updated 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering 177 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque for responsive power that still supports everyday efficiency.
The 2025 Taos pairs that performance with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission across the lineup, helping provide confident passing, comfortable cruising, and refined stop-and-go driving.
The standard 1.5L turbocharged engine in the 2025 Taos delivers a capable performance profile. With the available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive (standard on the SEL trim), power is optimized to support better grip, handling, and stability in a wider range of driving conditions.
Here’s how:
For the 2025 model year, Volkswagen has made a significant change to the Taos’ transmission system: all models, including both front-wheel drive (FWD) and 4Motion all-wheel drive (AWD) versions, now come exclusively with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Key Features:
🔹 Smooth Shifting
🔹 Refined Acceleration
🔹 Optimized Fuel Efficiency
🔹 Better Stop-and-Go Performance
The 2025 VW Taos have driving modes that vary whether you choose Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or 4Motion All-Wheel Drive (AWD).
🚗 Front-Wheel Drive Models (S, SE, SE Black) come with two standard drive modes:
Normal Mode – Balanced driving dynamics for everyday use.
Sport Mode – Adjusts throttle response and shift points for a more engaging drive.
🚙 4Motion All-Wheel Drive Models (Available on the S, SE, SE Black, and Standard on SEL) include Volkswagen’s 4Motion Active Control, which provides four drive modes for different terrain and weather conditions:
On-Road Mode – Standard setting for normal driving conditions.
Snow Mode – Optimizes traction and power delivery for better stability on snow or ice.
Off-Road Mode – Adjusts throttle response and traction control.
Off-Road Custom Mode – Allows the driver to fine-tune traction control, steering, and drivetrain settings for specific conditions.
Even with increased power for the 2025 model year, fuel efficiency remains consistent with the previous model.
