2025 Volkswagen Taos -- Is THIS Like an Audi Q3 for WAY Less Money?? (Starting Under $25k)

The dealership gave me a Taos as a loaner when my Atlas was being serviced and I was impressed. Great value for the money, great driving SUV, impressive performance. If I were in the market for a small SUV, this would be at the top of my list.

[@victreebel170]

Even with the steaming garbage reliability? It's got loads more problems than even the average VW.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

The Volkswagen Taos has some awesome features! It comes with a turbocharged engine, which gives it a nice balance of power and efficiency. The interior is pretty spacious for a compact SUV, and it has a lot of tech goodies like a digital cockpit, touchscreen infotainment system, and advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent review of a great little suv!😸

[@theporkchopexpress3782]

I just finished watching your review of the VW Taos, and it was great as usual! I want to point out that I really like how you show what the headlights, signal, taillights and reverse lights look like rather than just explaining what they look like. Nice!!

[@jordanimatedstreaming]

One thing I've noticed since Dieselgate is that VW's actually deliver the MPG's cited on the Maroney sticker, unlike some other brands.

[@palebeachbum]

I've always gotten at or better than the EPA-rated MPGs in every car I've ever owned. I can't say I've owned a VW though.

[@Integratedcraig]

I almost went with the Taos in 2024, but the reliability rating was 2nd to worst of small/compact SUV's (in 2024) and the lack of availability of an auto rear hatch, so we went with CRV Hybrid. Hopefully reliability on Taos improves in 25'.

[@BossInVegas]

Got 40k miles on my 2022 now .. I do 100 mi a day for delivery Amazon and doordash. Also I put on 25,000 miles this year in the 120 the degree a Las Vegas summer heat. Only issue I had was that the engine light came on twice because of a issue with the vent valve. It was a very minor issue that basically took them a couple hours to replace each time.

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

Wrong decision the tucson and tucson hybrid is way better than crv. Crv is more expensive, has less features and a smaller screen 7inch is too small.

[@Techjunkiero]

@@Integratedcraig yes it’s awful.

[@Integratedcraig]

@@AlexAlex-gs1xh CRV has been great- Tucson styling is a bit immature and Go-Bot-like, front end is awful, but I did like the back and the interior was super roomy- noisy on the road- we test drove everything in the segment- landed on Honda, reliability and 44 mpg- 😎

[@Integratedcraig]

@@BossInVegas I thought the Taos was most comfortable interior of everything I drove- really handsome looks- lots of convenience, but that JD Powers reliability score scared us off- we still love that VW charm-

[@whitelotus1594]

I really liked my 2011 Tiguan with the 2.0 turbo. It was sleeper quick, and the Haldex AWD system is great. But both the electric power steering and turbo needed replacing at about 68K. Not sure if I'd buy another VW anything.

[@TangledThorns]

Thank you for the review. Debating the 2025 Taos with the Kia Seltos X-Line. Such a crowded segment, lol.

[@palebeachbum]

Go with the Seltos. Much better warranty. Cheaper future repairs. Better reliability record.

[@gregholman2930]

I'd definitely would suggest the TAOS, I drive one at work and I have to say I like it very much, the Seltos wouldn't even be on radar, heard negative things like lack of power, TAOS hands down!

[@CarConfections]

Glad you enjoyed. On Saturday, we are going to countdown the top subcompact SUVs for 2025, so that video might have some information to help make your decision easier!

[@davcuts2897]

It's great VW got rid of the DCT, and added some more hp, but they made the front less attractive.

[@BossInVegas]

The taillights on the original model are much nicer too. I like the DCT, drives more sporty

[@johngrant1337]

good video thanks

[@TheRam010]

Great review! VW hit the nail on the head with this one. 📌

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! 👍

[@eddieabc123]

It is a audi q3 for less. Im pretty sure vw owns audi and used the same platform (correct me if wrong)

[@annechang6459]

VW has owned Audi for a very long time. So you are correct.

[@Jeez001]

But the front design looks bad for Volkswagen

[@eagletalon9735]

2025 and VW still uses the same typical Volkswagen ding for a welcome chime that they’ve been using since the late 90s

[@jennifergraham9679]

this is nice but I prefer the Tiguan 2025.

[@Slate_0]

Please, someone tell me the background sound music

[@francoisgagnon5335]

I don't know if it has to do with VW's financial situation, but they are updating their US products (Jetta, Taos) with old equipment that they reuse from older versions in Europe. The screen is not poorly integrated, but chances are 2017 will come and get it back.

[@jlcl7665]

From the backside it's almost a SEAT Ateca.

[@palebeachbum]

In typical VW fashion, I love the design but hate the historical reliability of this model.

[@BossInVegas]

It's not bad if u take care of it

[@Techjunkiero]

@@palebeachbum exactly

[@orichinal.]

Back light look like the new Honda accord tail lights

[@moneypenny174]

I wonder if they’re both made in Mexico? 🤔

[@STORMZ8]

They are

[@moneypenny174]

@@STORMZ8 that was all I needed to know

[@smckay87]

So over the light bar trend. Looks so gimmicky

[@Techjunkiero]

No. The Taos is at the top list on unreliable vehicles. Coolant leaks, awful tech, break wear and overheating engines.

[@BossInVegas]

Nonsense.

[@BSBS-gk4iy]

nice vid but who in their right mind would buy german bankrupt build of tiny motor and recycled plastic everywhere which is initially poor quality as per Euro Eco laws.

[@davejordan1458]

Exterior looks good. Dashboard doesn't look attractive. Overall look is okay.

[@tahran5782]

Ewww Volkswagens are ugly I wouldn't buy a Volkswagen I would have easily picked a Audi over a Volkswagen

[@bota02i]

25k is too much the same model is priced under ￥100,000 in China , approximately 13,700 in USD

[@DoNotFollowM3]

Horrible cars reliability wise and cost 33k USD in my country I'd rather buy Mazda at that price.
