Can SUVs be fun to drive? The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is proof that they can. Although it has the look of a crossover, the subcompact Taos has the soul of a sports car - as evidenced by its spirited performance and driving dynamics. Here's a look at how the 2022 Taos is capable of empowering your daily drive in Bozeman, Montana.

Turbocharged Engine

The heart of any good vehicle is a peppy engine, and the 2022 Taos certainly has one. Its four-cylinder motor uses a turbocharger to deliver a greater boost in power at lower speeds while not adding extra weight to the front end. The result is a robust 184 lb-ft of torque.

Dual-Clutch Transmission

Contributing to the smooth acceleration of the 2022 Toas is its 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. Basic automatics only have a single gearbox, whereas the VW Direct Shift Gearbox consists of two - and two clutches. This allows the Taos to shift up and down without suffering from mid-shift lagging.

All-Wheel Drive

The basic 2022 VW Taos comes with front-wheel drive, but you should opt for the available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system. Why? The signature Volkswagen AWD functions like a permanently engaged four-wheel drive system that proactively assesses and distributes power as needed to help you retain traction on the road.

Drive Modes

The roads get slippery here in Montana, so adjust the performance of the Taos based on the situation. The Active Control feature of 4MOTION® AWD allows you to select pre-programmed driving settings like Snow Mode and On-Road Mode as well as a customizable Off-Road Mode that automatically activates Hill Descent Control when needed. Just toggle between modes with the simple dial.

Feel the fun of driving through Montana's plains when you're behind the wheel of the 2022 Taos. Find this subcompact SUV for sale at Volkswagen of Bozeman.
