The Taos is one of the many recent additions to the VW lineup and it brings a good dose of performance, efficiency and German engineering to a very popular segment. The Taos is beautiful inside and out, and it provides plenty of space for passengers and cargo. Moreover, it includes a host of safety features that will keep you and your family safe on the road at all times.

Here, we compare the 2022 Taos to the 2022 Honda HR-V.

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is powerful and efficient

Under the hood of the 2022 Taos, you will find a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine that produces 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This is more than most rivals can offer and enables drivers to zip around the city as well as take well-deserved getaways in the country.

The Honda HR-V leaves performance behind. All trims are powered by a small 1.8-litre naturally aspirated engine that maxes out at 141 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque.

The difference in performance is quite staggering. But what’s more is that the 2022 Volkswagen Taos also outranks the HR-V in terms of driving dynamics. FWD Taos models feature an 8-speed transmission, and AWD models receive a quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Honda HR-V uses a continuously variable transmission that is notoriously boring to operate.

And while efficiency is very important, the Taos delivers on all fronts. The FWD drive Taos only uses 6.6 L/100 km on the highway. This is much better than the HR-V's highway rating of 7.0 L/100 km.

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is roomier for your family

Space is important, even in a small SUV. That’s why the 2022 Taos provides more head and shoulder room than the HR-V. But occupants can also take full advantage of the cargo space as well. The Taos includes 1,877 litres of cargo volume behind the front seats. The Honda HR-V compromises more, and only offers 1,665 litres in the same configuration.

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos has it all. Plenty of performance, style and versatility in a spacious crossover that your family will love. Come see it today! You can shop for your car online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
