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

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: Every 2023 Taos has a turbocharged (TSI) 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine making power specs of 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. With front-wheel drive (FWD), the engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. With all-wheel drive (AWD), which is optional with Trendline and Comfortline trim and standard on the Taos Highline, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (DSG) is standard. Depending on the model, a Taos can have up to five driving modes and four additional settings for the 4Motion AWD system. In addition, you can choose a Sport transmission mode. We evaluated the Taos on a mountainous driving loop, and over the entire route, the test vehicle averaged 8.8 litres per 100 kilometres, coming in just above the official Natural Resources Canada rating of 8.5 L/100 km for AWD models in combined driving. In FWD models, the expected average is 7.6 L/100 km.

What Volkswagen Taos do most buyers choose?

The Volkswagen Taos years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Higher-volume model years usually give you more choice in trims, colours, and equipment combinations, which makes it easier to compare listings and find a price that fits your budget. They also tend to attract more shopper attention, so you can often use the larger inventory to shop more selectively.

What is the Volkswagen Taos's resale value?

All four model years show double-digit price declines, which is good news if you are shopping used and want to stretch your budget further. The newer years have fallen the most in absolute percentage terms, while the older years have also moved down sharply. That pattern gives you several recent options with noticeably lower asking prices than they had a year ago.

The 2022, 2023, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
