Herndon, VA — #volkswagen of America today announced the official fuel economy ratings for the 2022 #volkswagen #taos compact #suv. All 2022 #taos front-wheel-drive models feature an 8-speed automatic transmission and have EPA-estimated ratings of 28 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined. 2022 Front-wheel drive #taos models are tied for best-in-class EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for internal combustion models.
All #taos 4Motion® all-wheel-drive models feature a 7-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission and have EPA-estimated ratings of 25 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. All ratings are based on regular unleaded fuel.
“We developed the #taos for North America with a balance of efficiency and drivability that we’ve rarely seen from competitors in the compact #suv space,” said #heinschafer, senior vice president of product and strategy for #volkswagen of America. “We think customers will embrace a fun-to-drive, well-equipped #suv at a very competitive price point.”
All versions of the #taos are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged and direct-injection EA211 engine making 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Thanks to sophisticated technology such as variable geometry turbocharging, the #taos delivers excellent fuel economy and spirited performance.
According to the #epa, buyers of the 2022 #taos front-wheel-drive model can save as much as $750 in fuel over five years compared to the national average new vehicle, while those who choose the all-wheel-drive #taos can save as much as $250.
The #taos is expected to go on sale in June. The vehicle is positioned in the largest U.S. vehicle segment, the compact #suv market, where 4 million vehicles were sold in 2019—around 24 percent of the market. MSRP for the 2022 #volkswagen #taos compact sport utility vehicle will start at $22,995 for the front-wheel-drive model and $24,445 for 4Motion AWD.
