The 2024 Taos and the 2024 Trax both come standard with roof rails for increased cargo space. And for those who love some fresh air and natural sunlight, both SUVs have available options for sunroofs, however, only the Taos sunroof has power tilt and retractable shade features. The Taos comes with standard features like LED daytime running lights and LED taillights, which are available upgrades for the 2024 Trax. Another favorite feature is the heated steering wheel and front seats, available on higher trim levels of both the Taos and the Trax. And for an added bonus on cold, rainy days, the Taos comes standard with rain sensing wipers, which is unavailable on the Trax.
Both the 2024 Taos and the 2024 Trax have a surprising amount of passenger space for their compact build, and both can seat up to five passengers. The Taos starts its cargo space with 27.9 cubic feet behind the second row and expands to 65.9 when the seats are folded down. The Trax has 25.6 cubic feet behind the second row and expands to only 54.1 cubic feet of space when folded. A favorite feature is the heated steering wheel and front seats, available on higher trim levels of both the 2024 Taos and the 2024 Trax. Both SUVs come with standard cloth seating with the Taos offering leather seating surfaces on the higher trim.
While both SUVs come with an infotainment system integrated with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, the 2024 Taos outshines the 2024 Trax in technology. How? With a second screen dedicated to ease of navigation and travel. The fully customizable VW Digital Cockpit Pro is an 8-inch touchscreen that allows you to select the display with options like speed, travel time, and navigation. The Trax only has one 8-inch touchscreen.
Both SUVs pack quite the punch in their performance capabilities. The Taos races ahead with its turbocharged 1.5L TSI® engine that provides 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The Trax comes standard with a ECOTEC® 1.2L Turbo engine, which provides 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. Both models come standard with front wheel drive, but only the Taos offers the available 4MOTION® all wheel drive. The Taos is paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, with the Trax offering a 6-speed automatic transmission. Both SUVs offer impressive fuel economy but the Taos edges out the competition offering up to 36 MPG on the highway while the Trax only gets up to 32 highway MPG.
Volkswagen is firmly committed to the safety of its drivers and passengers. Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy and a rigid safety cage helps redistribute forces away from those within, making sure every occupant is safe in the event of a collision. The 2024 Taos also comes with standard driver-assist features such as Lane Centering, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Blind-Spot Monitoring, whereas the 2024 Trax has to jump trim levels for the same features. The Taos also features the standard Intelligent Crash Response System, which is an automatic response to a crash that turns off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors, and activates hazard lights. You'll find no such features available on the 2024 Trax.
When you drive off with a new 2024 Volkswagen Taos, you'll know you're driving a crossover SUV designed with performance, safety, and comfort in mind. The sleek design will turn heads as you travel around on daily commutes, family outings, or exciting adventures. Although the 2024 Trax has a larger center-stage infotainment display, the Taos offsets this technological comfort with a dedicated cockpit display with customizable options.
