What's New for the 2026 Volkswagen Taos?
For the 2026 model year, all trims receive rear-seat pretensioners as standard equipment. An upgraded 15W wireless charging pad arrives as well. Meanwhile, VW updated the top-of-the-line SEL trim with an eight-speaker premium sound system.
What Are the 2026 Taos Trims & Features?
Volkswagen offers the new Taos in four trims: S, SE, SE Black, and SEL. The entry-level Taos S is a compelling value. It comes loaded with some of today's most popular features. Highlights include an 8.0-inch floating infotainment display, VW Digital Cockpit, and push-button engine start.
Featuring dual-zone automatic climate control with rear air vents and an eight-way power driver's seat, the SE trim takes passenger comfort to the next level. Other upgrades include remote engine start, larger 18-inch alloy wheels, adaptive headlights, and satellite radio.
If you crave a blacked-out look, check out the striking Taos SE Black. A panoramic sunroof adds to this trim's luxuriousness.
Atop the trim ladder sits the Taos SEL. It boasts leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and a configurable Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro gauge cluster.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Taos Have?
The new Taos is powered by a 1.5-liter turbo engine, which develops a rewarding 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission further optimizes performance. While front-wheel drive comes standard on most trims, VW's available 4MOTION AWD system enhances this compact SUV's capabilities.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Taos Include?
Safety-enhancing technology comes standard on the 2026 Volkswagen Taos. Blind-spot monitoring, auto emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control are all included. By helping you to remain aware of speed limits and displaying important traffic signs, the available Dynamic Road Sign Display feature gives you even more confidence.
