With a host of standard features, staying connected is easy in both the VW Taos and the VW Tiguan. Whether you’re turning up your favorite tunes or checking the trip information, either model makes it a breeze.
Upgrade your infotainment with an 8-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation in either model. Standard App-Connect with available wireless capability enables you to access certain apps, respond to messages, and more through the display.
They also both have the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. Trade in the traditional cockpit in favor of this customizable high-resolution display. You can see travel time, route guidance, and more on the standard 8-inch display. For ease of access, you can also upgrade to a 10.25-inch cockpit in both the VW Taos and the VW Tiguan.
When it comes to queuing up your favorite tunes, you can choose the optional BeatsAudio® system in the VW Taos or the available Fender® Premium Audio System in the VW Tiguan.
Both systems will turn your SUV into your very own concert hall.
It’s a given that both of these SUVs pack a lot of power. When it comes to moving forward, you’ll find peppy engines under the hood of each model. Let’s get a closer look at their performance specs.
When you start the 1.5L engine of the VW Taos, you’re welcoming an impressive 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. If you prefer more power, the VW Tiguan comes standard with a 2.0L engine that achieves up to 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.
When it comes to fuel, drivers who value efficiency may choose the VW Taos thanks to these ratings:

For continual traction, you can upgrade either model with 4MOTION® all-wheel drive. It automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels to maximize traction and help keep your vehicle in control. The 4MOTION® upgrade also includes Active Control, which comes with the following drive modes for a more personalized ride:
- Snow Mode
- On-Road Mode
- Off-Road Mode
- Off-Road Custom Mode
Whether you find yourself driving in the snow or venturing off the beaten path, these convenient drive modes enable you to adapt at a moment’s notice.
A significant difference between the two models is sizing. Because the VW Taos is a compact SUV and the VW Tiguan is considered a midsize SUV, you’ll find the VW Tiguan has a bit more room to stretch out.
In either model, you’ll find a 5-seat configuration. However, those seeking additional seating options will find a 7-seat configuration in the Volkswagen Tiguan. So, how comfortable will all those passengers be?
