Used Volkswagen Taos for Sale nearGoulds, NL

How much does the Volkswagen Taos cost in today's market?

Used Volkswagen Taos prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Volkswagen Taos's current nationwide average price is $27,778 CAD, and its lowest point over the past year was $27,058 CAD. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Volkswagen Taos a good car?

Yes — the Volkswagen Taos is a good fit if you value space, practicality, and a more upscale feel than many small SUVs deliver. The all-generations owner rating is 4.5/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the Taos for its roomy interior, strong fuel economy, and lively around-town character. Reviewers also note that it feels more premium than its price suggests, with a cabin and driving experience that can compare favourably with pricier vehicles.

Expert reviews rate the 2022 and 2023 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs are the powertrain’s uneven response, the infotainment system’s frustrating user experience, and value that can feel stretched at higher trims.

29.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Volkswagen Taos models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Taos as a roomy, efficient small SUV with a pleasant everyday driving character. Expert feedback also points to a well-packaged cabin and a practical overall design that suits daily use.

• Owners rate the Volkswagen Taos between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk looks most tied to the powertrain and electronics experience rather than the Taos’s core space-and-comfort strengths.
