Yahoo Autos 2022 Volkswagen Taos priced, tops out at $35,440
Pricing for the 2022 Volkswagen Taos is out, and it’s starting right about where VW predicted it would at the model’s formal reveal. A base S model with front-wheel drive starts at $24,190, including the $1,195 destination charge. If you want all-wheel drive, VW is tacking on an extra $2,045, leaving you with a final of $26,235.
The base car comes with a decent set of standard equipment. You get 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment, 8-inch Digital Cockpit instrument cluster and cloth seats. All-wheel-drive models automatically add heated front seats, heated mirrors and heated windshield washer nozzles. You don’t get VW driver assistance systems in the base car, but a $995 package adds automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control. The package also includes auto high beams, rain-sensing wipers and leatherette steering wheel and shifter.
An SE (starts at $28,440 or $29,890 for all-wheel drive) comes with most of the optional items available on the S, plus extras like a power driver’s seat, leatherette seats, keyless entry, remote start and privacy glass. However, you don’t automatically get adaptive cruise and lane-keeping assist — those will cost you $895 and come bundled with other things like VW Travel Assist and Emergency Assist.
