For drivers who prefer the power and feel of all-wheel drive, the 2024 Volkswagen Taos is a solid choice. The automaker is known for delivering excellent feel and maneuverability in all its cars. Still, the all-wheel-drive technology from VW is something special.
What Powertrain Options Are Offered With The New VW Taos?
While the Taos you test-drive at Garnet Volkswagen of Reading might be an all-wheel-drive version of the 2024 car, not all VW Taos vehicles come with that drivetrain. Front-wheel-drive is the standard offering on this year's Taos from VW. So, front-wheel-drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is an option. Every 2024 Taos with the standard drivetrain has an eight-speed automatic transmission.
What about the all-wheel-drive VW Taos models? They feature VW's dual-clutch seven-speed transmission that better optimizes fuel economy and performance.
What About Fuel Economy for the VW Taos?
Another point enthusiasts wonder about is fuel economy. Among leading all-wheel drive vehicles, the Taos achieves commendable mileage. Surprisingly, there's not much difference between the all-wheel drive and the front-wheel models. Indeed, the standard front-wheel drivetrain Taos is rated at 28 miles per gallon in the city and 36 miles per gallon on the highway. The all-wheel drive VW Taos comes in at 25 miles per gallon in the city and 32 miles per gallon on the highway. That's more good news for all-wheel drive devotees.
