Bought an Alltrack this summer and plan on driving that for as long as possible. Absolutely love it. Total shame that VW is ditching most of the Golf family especially the Alltrack and Sportwagens. I see so many Golf hatches, Sportwagens and Alltracks around here I find it hard to believe they are poor sellers. The Taos joins the Tiguan (which was nice once upon a time) and the Atlas as some of the blandest looking SUVs on the market. And I usually love VW's understated styling.
I want this so bad! I was looking into getting a CR-V but I don’t like the CVT transmission. This checks off everything on my list. I can’t wait to see it in person and take it for a test drive!
I'd be ok with it if it didn't kill off the Golf. Heck I'd be ok with the Golf being gone if VW would bring the ID3 to our shores at least but we all know THAT ain't gonna happen. Anyway, this Taos has last gen VW interior, similar to the now 4 year old Polo VI. By the time this hits the roads, it will already have a 5-6 year old interior. Awesome. As always, VW has a special way of treating their North American customers like second tier customers.
Taos rhymes with house. Love that cornflower blue. Test drove one twice and it's peppy enough to merge into traffic or pass slow vehicles. Quiet inside. Prettier exterior than interior. Interior seems simple and plain. Miss the ventilated seats in the SEL FWD model. And turn signals in the side mirrors and automatic folding mirrors. However the panoramic sunroof is very nice and big and MPG should be really nice. Would prefer Bose or Infinity sound system over Beats Audio.
For someone who's driving a smaller Mazda or Honda SUV this will be a game changer and help VW corner more of the market. You get 4Motion and a lot of technology and reliability of the 1.5 Miller Cycle engine for probably starting around $24K USD. Not a bad deal honestly!

Unfortunately as usual with VW Canada, the Trendline model lacks the safety options and is priced higher that a Rogue, new Tucson and even the base RAV 4!
Still a little big for my taste but given that this will be the smallest suv VW will offer it’ll have to do. I really want a small, but powerful suv. I have the rabbit currently which is old but I love it. I really just want awd and to sit higher but don’t want to a large vehicle I like being able to find easy city parking and maneuver on narrow streets. I would prefer the Australian t-cross size.
Needs to be like the first generation Tiguan very fun to something that would be more competitive to the Mazda CX5 with 227hp what they should of done was take a Tiguan an done the best of both worlds make it a larger SUV but instead of 184hp make it have 250hp Tiguan is supposed to be the fun one ....hell the Honda accord now makes 252 with a 2.0L I own a first gen Tiguan an it was perfect wieght to power ratio made it very good power was there when u needed it an when u wanted it
I really like this model and was considering it to be my next car purchase but I made a commitment to myself that my next vehicle will be assembled in Canada.
The current Tiguan starts at $29,770. I think the Taos will be $2,000 less so probably starting about $27,770/$28,000. The thing now is the drive. Will it be sluggish with that 154 HP engine with 184 lb-ft torque or will it drive well?
The Taos is a repackaged Seat Ateca, but made in Puebla Mexico instead of the Czech Republic. The Ateca is considerably cheaper than the Tiguan in markets where both are sold. I would expect a base price of $22-24k.
@@maxanderson8259 ah I see! $22k will put it in-line with the Kia Seltos. If they use a even higher quality materials than the Seat Ateca, definitely can see it $24k or under.
You are incorrect. The Tiguan starts much lower than that! Try $25,900 and then gets $5000 off currently. I have one. I know. Get your numbers right before trolling on the internet
@@2004cyrus This is a Canadian channel so all price is generally presumed CAD. I live in Canada as well so CAD pricing works well. If the Tiguan actually did cost $25,900 CAD, then it would be the price of a lower model sub-compact SUV.

Everybody is clamoring for SUVs while I'm still hooked on sedans. It's sad to see another sedan get relegated to the museum floor because not everyone is sold on the high-riding behemoths. As far as this model goes, it will do very well in the North American market so long as the VW group doesn't overprice it with less features compared to comparable competition offerings.
@@doziershaw9765 It is. The Jetta sells well, it will stick around for a while. But if going by what other manufacturers are doing, it's just a matter of time before the Jetta disappears from the NA market.
Sedans suck, I will never buy another one (unless I'm married or something and our other vehicle can actually carry something). It's a real shame there are no wagons (or even hatches) of sedans since they drive so much better than SUV's.
VW, please cut out ports for the fake exhaust at least! Looks nice, not as sexy as a Cross sport on it's own. I do like theTiguan, but VW could do way better by adding more HP, and ventilated seats at a decent price point. Hate that we have to buy most expensive models for cooled seats
Their interior designs are nice, but from what I recall of other recent VWs, it’s full of hard plastics (Jetta GLI and Tiguan come to mind). As a company that charges the European brand premium, I hope they address that.
It's actually a pretty good-looking vehicle, even if I'm not a fan of the SUV trend, this one ticks some boxes. However, I think that VW not brining the Golf back in Canada is nothing short of shameful. The Golf is the very definition of VW, just like the original Beetle was in the beginning. Zach: please help us convey our disappointment to the VW Canada people! I know how sad you are to see the Golf and Sportwagen disappear too :)
Yes it's a shame, but what's more shameful is how they ruined the MK8. They probably saw how much people hated it which made them decide to change their minds bringing the base Golf to Canada. Hope they are working on the MK9 and fixing all that is wrong with MK8.
I still buy cars. Cars are better on fuel than these boxes and cars are way more fun to drive. Follow me onto a hiway around a 270 degree on ramp in almost any suv and you'll see why I buy cars.
Furthermore... True! I own my '14 Diesel Jetta purely due to its incredible fuel mileage with about 1000 kms per tank..and as you say, going into a curve where it hugs the road with its low center of gravity!
Sedans SUCK. I'm not fond of SUV's but at least they are practical. If you can have a two-vehicle family, then it's all right if one of them is useless.
I came out of a small fun car after a wreck disabled me. I bought a VW Tiguan because it’s extremely easy for me to get into and out of it. Lots of people with back problems buy these not so much because they love Crossovers but because you don’t have to lift yourself out of them. I hear this from all of my neighbors too. I’m young. Sadly getting another car wasn’t an option. Sometimes you just have to look at things with a different point of view. I got hurt so fun went out the window and practical was the order of the day. And I’m grateful for it. Dreams have to get put away sometimes.
I do because they beat the competition and feel like you spent more than you did. I drive all kinds of cars and when I get on my Volkswagens they feel better every time and I remember why I chose them. I smile and feel grateful.
Why does this car exists? VW already have Taigun, T-Roc, Tiguan, Atlas and Touareg in its portfolio. Taigun and T-Roc might be on a far smaller size but isn’t Tiguan, Atlas and Touareg similarly sized? Where does this car slots in VW SUV line-ups?
@@C0olDo0d : Oh! Don’t you get Touareg? It’s the flagship SUV from VW. So right now, Do you have only three SUV models on offer from VW i.e. Atlas, Tiguan and this Taos?
@@LuvvSURYA We used to have the Touareg, but it was replaced with the Atlas to appeal to the American market. We now have the Tiguan, Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, and now we’ll be getting the Taos soon!
@@C0olDo0d : Interesting!! Touareg, I believe, is a better and premium looking car than Atlas. I first thought it was gonna be a cheaper alternative to Touareg. The interiors are just too plain and old than the new Touareg. Though, Atlas cross sport looks better on the outside than the regular model. So where does Taos sits in the VW SUV portfolio?
Dog shit now why did they make the car bigger!! Which is great. Now you put a smaller engine 1.5 l what…..? Tiguan is 2.0l premium gas though all wheel
North American Mercedes, Audi, and BMW all have plants in Mexico... It's not the assembly it's the engineering that matters. Apple products are designed in the USA, but everything is made in China. It doesn't seem to impede quality.
@@MaestroTJS They aren't built to be appliances like boring Japanese cars. If you buy German you should know that you need to invest more in preventative maintenance. A 3 series BMW will also give you a way more enjoyable driving experience, and the interior environment in contrast to similarly priced Japanese sedans. It's more about personal priorities.
@@DCassidy42 "Preventative maintenance," as if the problems they develop are due to the drivers and not poor engineering. I'm quite aware they drive better. I've also decided based on my own experiences with cars that such things only matter (to me) within the first few weeks or months, then I'm just driving it like a normal car. I can live with equivalent Japanese cars being "only" 95-99% as enjoyable to drive.
Those are put together excellent. I have 2 Honda’s and a VW made in Mexico and all are bolted together solid. Just because you like to complain doesn’t mean the vehicles are thrown together
Not really a compact suv. It's exterior dimensions, strangely enough, are almost exactly as the old Jeep Compass (not the current version). A bit longer wheelbase though, so less cargo space, but a few inches more room in backseat.
I really do not understand VW North America first putting 1.5l engine is a joke, anybody buying and installing hitch if they want to tow anything you be limited to a canoe size and weight, they had perfect vehicle Tiguan but they ruined by introducing long base version, out of size rear doors and boxy looking like comparing to the European version, they forgot about other people who prefer smaller SUV short base like they have in in rest of the world except here and inadequate gasoline engine, diesel would of be perfect but they had to satisfy those that they thing diesel is a bad thing, now they bring TAOS it is ugly no design put to make more beauty they copy from Skoda Karoq, but look at Skoda Karoq and TAOS , SKODA look 100x better than TAOS, they should of brought that up and call it VW , instead like always we get end of the stick, I am hoping that VW will bring cloth sport seats to line up as another feature they overlook for their customer who do not like leather or fake leather whatever they want to call it, another problem with VW Canada or VW North America they do not listen to their existing long time VW owners ...
Incredibly bored of Volkswagen. It seems as though every model looks the same on the interior. For some brands, like Volvo, that sort of works. But their interiors are incredibly bland and look very cheap. And for a 2022, I am rather disappointed. Love the channel, Zack. Keep it up!
Mazda's powertrain only looks good on paper. In reality they're much slower. It's due to their ancient transmission. I won't be surprised if this VW is only 0.5 seconds slower 0-60 than a 100hp more CX30.
if this taos fully loaded to sell around 36k~37k CAD, can not justify how it can compete with mazda cx30 turbo with almost 100horse power more at same price.
I'm finally ready for a new car and they replace the Sportwagen with this boring appliance? VW is losing its personality. The Passat, Beetle, and Golf...all in one year. Damn you, 2020!
that engine really leaves a lot left to be desired, why are we as consumers settling for this garbage? this engine is fitting for a Ford Fiesta, not an SUV
Frankly just tired of all these SUVs, and to me they all look the same. I would have been slightly interested it they brought the T-Roc instead of this. At least T-Roc looks better than this to me. Also when they were folding the back seats the floor wasn't flat.
Snif... I'll be missing hatch and sportwagon...

I'm finally ready for a new car and they replace the Sportwagen with this boring appliance? VW is losing its personality. The Passat, Beetle, and Golf...all in one year. Damn you, 2020!
so less wagon choices....
that engine really leaves a lot left to be desired, why are we as consumers settling for this garbage? this engine is fitting for a Ford Fiesta, not an SUV
Nothing special. Honda and Toyota and Kia/Hyundai more dependable. VW has issues
Too bad the jetta is a piece of crap...
Plain ugly.
Nissan Rogue any time over this shoe 📦
What do I hear? Is that the fake exhaust police coming full speed?
True
Lol yep very soon 😅
Take the extended warranty. Its a Volkswagen. Or just buy a Mazda CX-30
Please, please, VW, offer memory seat position!!!!
Frankly just tired of all these SUVs, and to me they all look the same. I would have been slightly interested it they brought the T-Roc instead of this. At least T-Roc looks better than this to me. Also when they were folding the back seats the floor wasn't flat.
Frankly that’s what sells and makes profits. And not all floors fold flat but close enough.
I don't get it, it looks identical to the Tiguan, so why bother?
Smaller and less expensive for all those that complained that the current Tiguan is bloated
