Performance and Upgrades
The 2023 Taos comes with Digital Cockpit Pro, a customizable dash that you can arrange with travel times, fuel economy, and other useful information. The equipment has been upgraded in several ways, particularly in terms of safety and driver assistance features, a panoramic sunroof and larger wheels.
It’s all about economic performance with the Taos. It’s estimated to deliver 8.4L/100km in the city and 6.6L/100km on the highway for FWD. The AWD option is estimated to give 9.5L/100km in the city and 7.4L/100km on the highway. The 1.5 TSI turbocharged engine with an eight-speed transmission has 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.

Taking things to the next level, the Highline has a BeatsAudio premium audio system with eight speakers, a panoramic power sunroof, leather seating, and satellite navigation.
Design and Options
The two-tone interior of this five-seater makes for a classy and comfortable journey. It’s the adjustable ambient lighting that elevates the experience. The same is true for the exterior lighting, with LED lights as standard and an illuminated grille available.
