First up in this VW trim comparison is the entry-level Taos S. This trim, along with all the others, gains standard Adaptive Cruise Control in 2024. The Volkswagen Taos S shares a 1.5-liter turbo engine and automatic transmission with its siblings, too, and comes in standard FWD or available 4MOTION AWD. You'll also notice that the Volkswagen Taos S is better equipped than many base models, giving drivers a 6.5-inch digital touchscreen and 8-inch instrument cluster, CloudTex and cloth upholstery, and a Rear View Camera System to make every drive more enjoyable.
Jump up to the second-tier Volkswagen Taos SE, and a world of standard features opens up. This trim comes cloaked in full CloudTex upholstery for easy cabin cleaning, enlarges the center display to 8 inches, and introduces remote engine start to the lineup. The VW Taos SE also adds larger 18-inch wheels, though it keeps its standard FWD configuration. Technology also takes a step up in the Volkswagen Taos SE: You can charge devices and connect phone apps wirelessly in this trim while snuggling into heated front seats on chilly winter mornings.
New to the 2024 Taos family is the Taos SE Black trim, which features a blacked-out exterior and gorgeous contrasting blue stitching inside its cabin. The SE Black is also a great middle ground between the mid-range and flagship variants, combining some of the best features this SUV has to offer within its sleek black frame. For example, the 2024 Volkswagen Taos SE Black adds a power tilt-and-slide sunroof, an adaptive front lighting system with dynamic cornering lights, and an integrated light bar on the front grille to your build. In short, you could lease a VW Taos and hit the road with a decadent new style.
Headlining the 2024 VW Taos family is the flagship Taos SEL. This top-tier trim comes with everything you need and more for a relaxing family adventure. For starters, the 8-inch VW Digital Cockpit that's present in all previous trims is replaced by a larger, enhanced-resolution 10.25-inch Pro version. The Volkswagen Taos SEL also levels up your cabin's attitude with a BeatsAudio® sound system, leather upholstery, and ambient interior lighting. What more could you want in this top trim? Oh, maybe just standard safety features like Rear Park Distance Control and Dynamic Road Sign Display.

The VW Taos comes with standard FWD and available AWD on every trim, except the top-of-the-line SEL model, which is equipped with AWD as standard. No matter which model you go for, you can expect a 1.5-liter turbo engine. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission in FWD models, while AWD editions have a seven-speed DSG transmission.
There are several upholstery options for the VW Taos, with leather being the standard choice for the high-end SEL trim. On the rest of the trim lineup, you can choose from either a cloth and CloudTex combination or just the CloudTex seating material by itself. Experience the comfort and elevated style offered in the VW Taos by touring and test-driving one for yourself.
