Is the 2022 Volkswagen Taos a good car?

Generally — the 2022 Volkswagen Taos earns a 4.4/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

It fits well if you want a crossover that feels roomier than many small SUVs without stepping up to a larger model. Owners repeatedly praise the roomy interior, excellent gas mileage, peppy around-town performance, quality, and handling. That makes it a strong match for you if space, comfort, and practicality matter more than outright power.

The market also shows 27.1% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Volkswagen Taos reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a dependable-feeling package with a roomy cabin, excellent gas mileage, and a generally positive ownership experience. The expert review also describes it as a strong value proposition with a rewarding ride and handling balance, which supports confidence in day-to-day use.

Volkswagen backs it with a 4-year/80,000-kilometre warranty and 24-7 roadside assistance for the same period. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the turbo lag, transmission behaviour, and infotainment quirks may remain part of the experience.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Volkswagen Taos?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model gives you the simplest setup, while higher trims add more comfort and convenience features. The biggest feature gaps show up at the lower end, where some driver-assistance and convenience equipment is reserved for more expensive trims.
• Powertrain: Every Taos uses a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel-drive models use a standard 8-speed automatic, while 4Motion AWD models use a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission and an independent multilink rear suspension.
• Safety package: Forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert are standard starting on Comfortline. Automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, and rear parking sensors are limited to Highline, while lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, Travel Assist, Emergency Assist, dynamic road sign display, and remote start require an extra-cost package on Highline.
• Infotainment: The base trim gets a 6.5-inch touchscreen, while Comfortline and Highline use an 8-inch display with MIB3 software. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto start on Comfortline, along with SiriusXM satellite radio with 360L service, voice control, and wireless smartphone charging. Highline adds navigation and an eight-speaker BeatsAudio system.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada says the Taos 4Motion uses 8.5 L/100 km in combined driving, and testing returned 8.7 L/100 km.

Which 2022 Volkswagen Taos trim should I buy?

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is offered in 3 trim levels: Trendline, Comfortline, Highline.

Here's the short version:

• Trendline: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Taos. You get the core space and utility, but you miss out on several convenience and driver-assistance features that arrive higher up the range.
• Comfortline: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM with 360L service, voice control, wireless smartphone charging, and key safety features like forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Highline: Choose this if you want the most complete Taos experience, including navigation, an eight-speaker BeatsAudio system, automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, and access to additional safety and convenience features through an extra-cost package.

For safety-focused shoppers, note that several advanced driver-assistance features are only available on Highline and require an extra-cost package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Volkswagen Taos?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 27.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 306 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.57% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $22,067 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Volkswagen Taos's resale value?

The current average of $22,067 CAD sits slightly below last year's $25,239 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests sellers may need to be realistic if they want to move a Taos quickly. A lower average price can also mean buyers have more negotiating leverage, especially if a vehicle is not well equipped or lacks desirable safety and convenience features.

For a future seller, the good news is that the Taos still has appeal thanks to its roomy cabin and practical crossover packaging. Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Volkswagen Taos safe?

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos was not crash tested by either NHTSA or IIHS at the time of the review.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Volkswagen includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert starting on Comfortline. Highline adds automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, and rear parking sensors, while lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, Travel Assist, Emergency Assist, dynamic road sign display, and remote start require an extra-cost package.

Travel Assist combines adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability and lane-centring assistance, while Emergency Assist can slow the vehicle, activate the hazard flashers, and bring it to a safe stop if the driver becomes unresponsive. One caveat is that reverse automatic braking can be overly sensitive in some driveway situations.

Should I buy a 2022 Volkswagen Taos or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 27.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.57% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 Taos is a roomy, affordable crossover with strong around-town appeal and useful middle-ground sizing.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $24,120 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $22,067 CAD average.
• It adds more standard safety features and equipment.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2022 is the smarter starting point because prices are softer and inventory is healthy. If you’re willing to pay more for added standard safety equipment, the 2023 is the better secondary path.
