Volkswagen Taos Reviews at a Glance

The 2023 Volkswagen Taos ranks high in an increasingly competitive segment of compact SUVs. See the 2023 VW Taos reviews at a glance to learn how it’s been received by the likes of Edmunds, Autoblog, and other automotive media. 

• Edmunds: “Volkswagen’s smallest SUV is a big deal. The Taos packs plenty of modern tech and safety features into a tidy package. It also has excellent passenger and cargo space.”
• Autoblog: “While Volkswagen would probably point to the 2023 VW Taos as a more outdoor adventurey choice thanks to body cladding and functional roof rails, we’d offer instead that it’s the most family-friendly midcompact SUV. The back seat is huge, easily besting all of its midcompact rivals and even some compact SUVs in the segment above.”
• MotorTrend: “With a quickness, Volkswagen addressed one of our main gripes about the Taos for its second model year by adding more active safety features. We’re fans of the little SUV because of its capacious cabin and class-above materials in select areas.”
