The 2024 Taos and the 2024 HR-V both feature striking designs and sleek curves that turn heads wherever they go. The bold style of the Taos speaks for itself as it cruises around city streets and into compact parking spaces. Both compact SUVs come standard with LED headlights and taillights, while also featuring automatic high beams and daytime running lights for additional safety while driving. The 2024 Taos and the 2024 HR-V also come standard with 17" alloy wheels with available upgrades starting at 18". However, only the Taos comes standard with roof rails for added cargo space, making travel that much more convenient.
Both the Taos and the HR-V can hold up to 5 passengers, however, the cargo space varies. The Taos is able to store 27.9 cubic feet behind the second row, and 65.9 cubic feet when the seat is folded down. The HR-V only has 24.4 cubic feet behind the second row with 55.1 cubic feet with the seat folded down. Both crossover SUVs come standard with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. While the HR-V has a 7-inch screen compared to the Taos's 6.5-inch screen, the Taos has one more technological surprise to present. With an additional 8-inch screen placed on the dashboard, this VW Digital Cockpit Pro feature allows you to customize what's displayed with options like speed and travel time, route guidance, and more. Both SUVs also come standard with keyless entry for added safety and convenience.
The performance of both the 2024 Taos and the 2024 HR-V boasts finely tuned engines that pack a punch. The Volkswagen Taos comes standard with a 1.5L TSI® engine that generates a mighty 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Not only that, but its fuel economy is as high as 28 MPG in the city with up to 36 MPG on the highway. The HR-V has a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower, 138 lb-ft of torque, and only up to 26 MPG in the city with up to 32 MPG on the highway. The standard drivetrain for both SUVs is front-wheel drive, and while both have the option for all-wheel drive, the Taos offers the 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system for optimal traction.
Safety is always a top priority with Volkswagen, and the 2024 Taos is a testament to that. While both the Taos and 2024 HR-V come with active safety features like LED daytime running lights for enhanced visibility, there is one feature that the HR-V does not have. The 2024 VW Taos offers its Intelligent Crash Response System, creating an additional layer of safety for your added peace of mind. This automatic response activates in the event of a collision and deploys airbags, shuts down the fuel pump, unlocks doors, and activates hazard lights. In addition, both SUVs have a standard suite of driver assist features, such as Lane Centering, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Forward Collision Warning. The Taos includes a Blind-Spot Monitoring feature as well, which is an available addition to the HR-V.
Look forward to driving away with a bold new 2024 Volkswagen Taos today, and know that high-quality performance, comfort, and safety are packaged up into one sleek design. While the Honda HR-V is one of the most well-known crossover SUVs, the Taos holds its own with its streamlined technology, luxury design, and stellar performance.
