Can the 2023 VW Taos 4Motion go OFF-ROAD? We find out and get it dirty.

[@LordOfTheResin]

In all honesty after driving it town for a few months the car seems to have adjusted to my driving style and it does great. I couldn't be happier with it.

My 23 Taos se 4motion is the best car I’ve ever had.

I got the 22 Highline its amazing as well!

Glad you mentioned the trunk. I was trying to use that function and was thinking I had a faulty key fob! Excited to use the 4-Motion this winter.

Understood but we didn’t have snow here in San Diego at the time of testing.

Which transmission works better for that off road driving, the DSG or the traditional 8 speed auto? I have no intention of ever going off road, I'm just curious.

[@jayhealth5264]

The Gti and Tdi dsg transmission is no doubt better but the Taos Dsg transmission works good once you break it in or about 10,000 miles. I had the TDI then that GTI and one reason I got the 2023 Taos se 4motion was all wheel drive with the 7 SPEED DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. it's definitely a nice ride for the price.

The blank "buttons" around the shifter are for parking assist functions for trim levels which may. not be available in North America...

I have to have 4 motion here in WI. Winter winter. I’m hoping to test drive soon. I hope it isn’t frustrating enough to turn me away because I feel pretty set on the Taos thus far. Thanks for an awesomely helpful review !

I drive taos 4motion here in Edmonton, Canada.we have snow about 6-7 months in a year.with all icey road even with normal mode i drives perfect on highways with great mileage.

Interesting that it shares the infotainment and dash of mk7.5 Golf R but the Golf R doesn't let you change anything regarding 4 motion

15:04 - avoid that sign...the one that says no motor vehicles😆

[@FlashyMYP]

Great video!

[@frankhassle9366]

Great comment!

[@fredonia81]

Those panoramic sunroofs are terrible, you are always exposed to sunlight even with the screen closed. I would rather see them focus in higher quality materials and eliminate that hole in the roof. I couldn’t agree with you more about their decision to eliminate the Golf wagon!!

[@stephenpang5]

Is there a mud cover ?

[@theruleoffire]

People give up on the fake exhaust thing. First of all when have you seen exhaust that high on a vehicle that isnt a Porsche. Second stand behind that Porsche as you unload their luggage and take it to their room. Yeah it fuking burns. Hence why they have been and always should be below. Because until i can hire my own chauffeur i don’t want to burnt shins n be poor.. 😂

Your review is incomplete. While you give us a good idea it handles off road, you failed completely to discuss/show where 4Motion shines the most (and is the most needed) --- in snow/winter. I live in a state where it snows half the year, and having driven front wheel drive for years, I look forward to the 4Motion keeping me in better control on snowy road. That's the only real failing of this review.
