If you’re looking for a compact SUV that’s loaded with power, passenger and cargo space, and exciting new features, you’ve got to check out the 2022 Taos on sale at Capital Volkswagen today. At a low starting MSRP of $23,295, most experts agree that the Taos is a great buy.

The Seltos Can’t Match Taos’ Power and Capability

Three trims of the 2022 Taos are well-equipped with the same 1.4-liter EA211 turbocharged engine found in the Volkswagen Jetta.

The Taos takes driving up a notch with its DSG 7-speed automatic transmission for fast, smooth, efficient shifting, and available 4MOTION^® all-wheel drive that optimizes traction and improves stability.
