There is a certain kind of magic in a car that just "gets" you the moment you sit in the driver’s seat. The latest 2026 Volkswagen Taos doesn't ask you to adjust to it; instead, it feels like it was built to follow your lead, smoothing out the bumps of a hectic morning and finding a steady, comfortable rhythm on the open road.

Under the hood, the 2026 VW Taos uses a 1.5-litre TSI turbocharged engine producing 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. On paper, those numbers are sensible. On the road, they feel punchy and well-tuned. Acceleration is smooth, passing power is there when needed, and the turbo delivers power in a way that feels controlled instead of abrupt. This is a performance you can actually use every day.
Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Taos delivers seamless gear changes that rarely draw attention to themselves. That is a good thing. The transmission works quietly in the background, helping the engine stay in its sweet spot whether you are cruising or climbing.
Canadian weather does not always play nice, and that is where available 4MOTION all-wheel drive earns its keep. The system actively distributes power to maintain grip when roads are slick or uneven. Rain, snow, or loose surfaces feel far less intimidating because the Taos stays planted and predictable.

The 2026 VW Taos Performance Features also include impressive fuel efficiency, with combined ratings as low as 7.4 L/100 km in FWD form. That balance of power and efficiency means fewer stops at the pump and more time enjoying the drive. Pricing remains approachable for its class, especially considering the level of performance engineering built in.
At Country Hills Volkswagen, the goal is to make sure you find that exact feeling before you ever sign a single paper. Come explore the nimble handling and spirited performance of the Taos in a relaxed environment where your comfort and your questions are always the top priority.
