Should I Buy? 2022 Volkswagen Taos SE // Best Compact Crossover?

- AVE reviews the new 2022 VW Taos. Normally we don't discuss reliability too much in our AVE Drives series, but given this is a German car, we thought it was necessary to give you the lay of the land as far as maintenance is concerned. We really love the Taos and truly believe it's top three in it's class (along with the RAV4 and CX-5).

Looking at an SE FWD (live in California - don't need AWD). You're right about availability - there's a good number of them at NorCal dealers and they generally aren't trying to mark these up like a Honda or Toyota dealers do. I figure with that proven engine and Japanese built 8-speed transmission it should be pretty good for quite a long time. I also like the MPG the FWD models get - 28 city, 36 highway. That's almost as good as some compact sedans.
There was so much tech talk in your video that I going to listen again. Thanks for the Infos.
We hope you find it useful!
Just got my ‘2023 Taos SE ( no sunroof) last week. Love It - simple* clean layout.
I bought a Taos on January and I’m in love!! 😍😍
Awesome video guys! Been watching reviews left and right and yours is one of the best! You guys are the only ones that mention the maintenance on this type of transmission, which is good to know. I'm planning on leasing one eventually!.
Thank you! We’re happy we were able to help. They are a great option! We did a few long journeys in it and it was a great cruiser-very comfortable. Are you planning on buying one with 4motion?
@aveautomotive2441 I'm planning on leasing an SE with 4 motion. I like to lease is a bit easier on the wallet.😅
Great review, thx
I purchased one last month with 4Motion and the IQ package. I love how this SUV drives, at first with the DSG transmission one needs to relearn to modulate the pedal when taking off, but If I need to accelerate quick I switch it to S mode and the Taos response really well.
It also has some surprising features like launch control this feature will make this vehicle shave one second off from 0-60 getting closer to 6.9 0-60
Yeah it really is surprisingly nimble for the type of vehicle it is. We think it’s a better vehicle than the Tiguan for the money! You’re 100% about modulating the throttle though… definitely takes some getting used to haha
I like my VW Taos alot, I just wish it was higher. I also have a Toyota Highlander so I love high sitting SUVs.
What trim do you have? Toyota Highlander…another excellent choice!
@@aveautomotive2441 I'm not sure (sorry I don't know the technical stuff about vehicles) But its fully loaded with the double sunroof if that helps.
Probably an SEL! Sounds lovely. I hope you’re enjoying it :)
@@aveautomotive2441 you're probably right. Yes I am, my 10 year old son loves it the most 😄 Thank you!
Nice review..you guys know your cars
Damn, thank you!!
Wife has one, she loves it fwd
How is the ZF 8 speed in that?
@@aveautomotive2441 really good, so far is been awesome currently at 14k miles +-.
Still running strong at 22k
How would you compare and contrast the Taos with the Corolla Cross in a few bullet points?
Can you speak up, I can't hear you over the BLINK-ER-BLINK-ER-BLINK-ER... its so loud!
