Why the 2022–2024 VW Taos Fits Greater Binghamton Drivers
Modern cabin technology, smart fuel efficiency, and winter confidence packaged for everyday Southern Tier driving.
Punchy 1.5L Turbo & Up to 32 Highway MPG
Under the hood of every 2022 to 2024 Taos is a modern 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of low-end torque. That means quick throttle response when merging onto Route 17 or climbing hilly streets around Johnson City, while delivering up to 32 MPG on the highway to keep weekly gas fill-ups affordable.
4Motion AWD with Active Control
Winter squalls in the Southern Tier can turn dry pavement into slick slush in minutes. When equipped with available 4Motion all-wheel drive, the Taos includes an Active Control dial right on the center console. Turn it to Snow Mode, and the system calibrates throttle response, gear changes, and torque distribution to keep you moving securely on snowy hills and icy bridges.
Standard Volkswagen Digital Cockpit
Even in entry trims, the Taos comes factory-equipped with Volkswagen’s high-resolution Digital Cockpit instrument screen. You can customize your driving data, speedometer, and safety indicators in full color. Paired with intuitive touchscreen infotainment and smartphone connectivity, your navigation maps and music stream easily without distraction.
Compact Outside with Surprising Cargo Space
The Taos is compact enough to slide into tight parking spots along Court Street in Binghamton or crowded campus garages, yet its square roofline provides excellent headroom and an elevated view of the road. Fold down the rear seats, and you open up to 65.9 cubic feet of usable cargo space for dorm furniture, sports gear, or grocery runs.
