From Base to Top Trim: How the 2027 Volkswagen Taos Lineup Steps Up

The 2027 Volkswagen Taos comes in five trims, and each one builds on the last. Every Taos shares the same 1.5 L 4-cylinder TSI engine with 174 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, an 8-speed automatic transmission and a strong list of standard safety and comfort features.
