Today, May 6, an official presentation of the most affordable Volkswagen crossover was held in Moscow – Taos is ready to conquer the market with modern technologies, a stylish body and, not surprisingly, an attractive price. At the moment, in the Russian market, the crossover is presented in three trim levels – Respect (basic version), Status and Exclusive. Moreover, at the start of sales, Taos will be available for purchase in a limited edition of JOY !, which is, in fact, an improved version of the Status package. In this case, the car will be supplemented with 17-inch wheels, black rear-view mirror housings, tinted rear windows, and the interior of the JOY! decorated with orange decorative elements and lighting.
Also, a potential car buyer has the opportunity to choose one of two engines. The base offers a naturally aspirated 110 horsepower engine in combination with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission on front-wheel drive, but there is also a more powerful turbocharged version of 150 horsepower, which is paired with an 8-speed “automatic” on the same front-wheel drive or on a 7-speed automatic transmission, but already on 4Motion all-wheel drive. The car also received intelligent LED optics IQ.Light, a decent set of sensors (light, rain, parking, and so on).
In addition, the car was not deprived of modern technologies – the dashboard is completely digital, and the VW Play Android multimedia system with its own VW Play Apps is equipped with a 10-inch touch screen. The system supports connection to Wi-Fi hotspots, works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and supports connection to a sound source via Bluetooth and USB. And in the company store it will be possible to download various services, including a whole set of Yandex applications – Yandex.Navigator, Yandex.Music, Yandex.Zapravki, voice assistant “Alice”.
Unfortunately, so far the manufacturer does not name the prices for the new car and the configuration options – they should be announced in the very near future.
