Where the Taos separates itself from the likes of the Honda HR-V is in how accomplished it is straight out of the gate. Volkswagen’s MQB platform is well-rounded, and Volkswagen knows how to make a good car feel effortless. That’s how the Taos feels – effortlessly good. However, it takes a lot of design and engineering to get there, and Volkswagen should be proud of the Taos. It’s not flashy, and it’s not breaking the mold, but it gets everything it needs to be right for the price. It won’t compete in numbers with Honda’s HR-V or the South Korean sub-compacts, but those in the know wanting a rock-solid performer for years to come will enjoy the Taos.The price is important in summing up the Taos, and its entry point of $24,155 at the time of writing is par for the course. The Goldilocks trim is the SE with additions like 18-inch wheels, wireless phone charging, and remote start comes in at $28,925. For the loaded SEL, you’ll be parting with $34,535. We just wish Volkswagen would offer the Beats Audio system as an option on the SEL to make it the killer choice for a young family.
