All versions of the Taos are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged and direct-injection EA211 TSI® engine making 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Thanks to sophisticated technology such as variable geometry turbocharging, the Taos delivers excellent fuel economy and spirited performance. Every Taos can be optioned with Volkswagen’s 4Motion® all-wheel-drive system. As the newest member of the Volkswagen SUV lineup, the compact Taos offers flexible passenger and cargo volume, as well as everyday usability and utility. The 2022 Taos will be available in three trim levels—S, SE, and SEL—and is anticipated to arrive at U.S. Volkswagen dealerships in June. MSRP for the Taos S starts at $22,995 for front-wheel drive and $25,040 with 4Motion all- wheel drive. Destination for all Taos models is $1,195. Exterior As with models ranging from the Golf to the Atlas, the all-new 2022 Taos is built on Volkswagen’s award-winning MQB platform. Dimensionally, Taos sits at the middle of the entry-compact SUV space, in contrast to Tiguan at the top of the compact SUV space. Taos is 175.8 inches long—9.3 inches shy of Tiguan. The front-wheel-drive Taos has a wheelbase of 105.9 inches; it is 72.5 inches wide and 64.4 inches tall. The all-wheel-drive Taos has a wheelbase of 105.6 inches; it is 72.5 inches wide and 64.6 inches tall. The bold design DNA of its Volkswagen SUV contemporaries is immediately present in the Taos exterior. The front end features a sculpted hood and wide three-bar grille reminiscent of Atlas Cross Sport; top trims also mirror the LED light signature. The molded front bumper with side air intakes, black detailing and a large lower air intake gives it a bold look. LED headlights, Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) and taillights are standard across all trims. Page 2 of 19 Media Information SEL trim features LED projector headlights with the Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), and an illuminated light line stretching outward from the logo, as on the ID.4 electric SUV. The distinctive side profile of Taos, with a strong character line, harkens to Tiguan, while the squared-off wheel arches give a nod to Atlas. Roof rails are standard, with S models carrying black roof rails and side mirrors, while SE and SEL models have silver roof rails and body-colored side mirrors. Taos features four different wheel designs. S models ride on 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, while SE models feature standard 18-inch machined alloy wheels or available 18-inch black wheels. SEL FWD models carry the 18-inch black wheels as standard, and AWD models 19-inch wheels. At the rear, stylized LED taillights draw the eye to the centered Taos lettering—a new VW family trait. The black molded bumper with silver detailing lends a rugged feel. Eight colors are available and a panoramic sunroof is optional on SE and SEL models. Interior The spacious interior of the Taos features modern design, premium fit and finish, and advanced technology. Thanks to its long wheelbase, the Taos has a roomy 99.5 cubic feet of passenger space—just 1.6 cu ft less than the two-row Tiguan Front-wheel-drive models have 27.9 cu ft of luggage space behind the second-row seats and 65.9 cu ft with the second row folded down. All-wheel-drive models have 24.9 cu ft of space behind the second row and 60.2 cu ft when second row is folded. In addition to its generous cargo space, Taos offers plenty of room for all passengers, with 40.1 inches of legroom in the front and 37.9 in the rear. Composed of clean lines, the contemporary cockpit clearly communicates the Volkswagen family connection. The designers gave the Taos a modern look by creating two separate levels on the dashboard. The top level has a décor element, which varies by trim and surrounds functional elements including the air vents, standard Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. The lower level provides a soft-touch surface, which runs the width of the interior and continues through the door panels on each side, surrounding the front passengers. Premium fit and finish meets distinctive colors and materials throughout the interior. Gray and black two-tone seats are standard on S models. The SE is available in either gray or black. The SEL is available in a two-tone, neutral grey and black or luxurious French Roast and black. Across the trim lines, grey contrast stitching provides an additional visual pop. S models have cloth seats, while SE models feature CloudTex and cloth seating surfaces, and SEL models receive leather seating surfaces. Page 3 of 19 Media Information To create a visual connection across all interior elements, the same materials are used for seat covers and other soft décor parts. SEL models feature a standard 10-color LED ambient lighting system. Coordinated with the Driving Mode Selection feature on AWD models, the system provides soothing indirect white light in the Normal profile, red light in the Sport profile and blue light in the Eco profile. The driver can set any of the ten colors using Manual or Custom mode. Across the lineup, creature comforts for drivers and passengers abound. Standard convenience features include automatic headlights and KESSY®-Go push-button start. SE models add full KESSY® keyless access, remote start, an 8-way power driver seat with lumbar, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, heated washer nozzles, leatherette- wrapped multifunction steering wheel, and privacy glass. SEL trims add dual-zone Climatronic® automatic climate control; ventilated front seats (AWD models only); auto- dimming rearview mirror; rain-sensing wipers; and a heated, leatherette-wrapped steering wheel. Convenience packages on S and SE models add the latter two features. A panoramic sunroof is available as an option for SE and SEL trim levels. MIB Infotainment. All 2022 Taos models feature innovative Volkswagen MIB touchscreen infotainment systems. The displays utilize a capacitive-touch sensor (as in smartphone and tablet technology) rather than the more common resistive touchscreens that require pressure, enabling controls like swiping and even pinch zooming. App-Connect smartphone integration for compatible devices is standard, and offers users the ability to run select smartphone apps directly on the vehicle’s display through services such as Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and MirrorLink®. The Taos S trim is equipped with the MIB2 Composition Color unit, which features a 6.5- inch capacitive touchscreen display. The infotainment system includes two USB-C ports and Bluetooth® technology for compatible devices. SE and SEL Taos models are equipped with the third-generation modular infotainment matrix (MIB3). The MIB3 infotainment system features a glass-covered 8.0-inch display, wireless charging and wireless App-Connect for compatible devices, multi-phone pairing, enhanced voice recognition, and three USB-C ports, one of which is dedicated for charging. The Taos SE is equipped with the Composition Media unit, while the SEL comes with the Discover Media unit with navigation. Both units feature Bluetooth technology for compatible devices, HD radio, and SiriusXM® with 360L (3-month All Access trial). SEL trims feature a redesigned navigation system with simplified and enhanced map designs, Page 4 of 19 Media Information intuitive route options, quick access to frequently visited locations, and advanced route management. With a paid Car-Net Hotspot subscription and Plus Nav package, maps can be automatically updated with the most up-to-date traffic and construction information. Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit system, standard on all Taos models, presents drivers with a fully digital instrument cluster. S models feature an 8-inch display with two views and customizable widgets to show a variety of vehicle information. SEL models upgrade to a 10.25-inch fully configurable Digital Cockpit Pro display with three views—including full-screen navigation for equipped models—and 21 viewing options, including car status, navigation, driving data, phone information, driver assistance features, and more.

  • ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY NAMES AAA’S Recommendation for Common Naming of Advanced Safety Systems
    JANUARY 2019 ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY NAMES AAA’s recommendation for common naming of advanced safety systems NewsRoom.AAA.com Advanced Driver Assistance Technology Names (this page intentionally left blank) © 2019 American Automobile Association, Inc. 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Technology Names Abstract Advanced Driver Assistance Systems have become increasingly prevalent on new vehicles. In fact, at least one ADAS feature is available on 92.7% of new vehicles available in the U.S. as of May 2018.1 Not only are these advanced driver assistance systems within financial reach of many new car consumers (about $1,950 for the average ADAS bundle2), they also have the potential to avoid or mitigate the severity of a crash. However, the terminology used to describe them varies widely and often seems to prioritize marketing over clarity. The lack of standardized names for automotive systems adds confusion for motorists when researching and using advanced safety systems. The intent of this paper is to create a dialog with the automotive industry, safety organizations and legislators about the need for common naming for advanced driver assistance systems. Within this report, AAA is proposing a set of standardized technology names for use in describing advanced safety systems. AAA acknowledges that this is a dynamic environment, and that further input from stakeholders and consumer research will further refine this recommendation. To date, automakers have devised their own branded technology names which, for example, has resulted in twenty unique names for adaptive cruise control and nineteen different names for lane keeping assistance (section 3.2) alone. A selection of these names is shown in Figure 1.

  • What's New: 2021 Lexus RX 350 and 450H
    What’s New: 2021 Lexus RX 350 and 450h August 26, 2020 PLANO, Texas (August 26, 2020) – For the 2021 model year, the Lexus RX 350 and 450h add Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) as standard across all vehicle grades. Guests will also notice the addition of the standardization of power folding auto dim mirrors as they back up in the parking lot and navigate lane changes. With the addition of an optional wireless charger, the 2021 Lexus RX 350 and 450h continue to provide enhancements based on dealer and guest feedback. Refined Style and Function The luxury crossover received several changes in 2020 to enhance the driving dynamics across the lineup. Both the front and rear stabilizer bars are now hollow to reduce weight, yet their thicker diameters and reinforced bushings help reduce body roll and improve steering response. The shock absorbers were re-tuned to work with the stiffer roll bars, while upgraded dampers feature a friction control device that helps to control high frequency vibrations for a smoother ride. The RX continues to provide improved responsiveness compared to models prior to 2020 with a stiffer suspension designed to reduce the noise and vibration from the road. On turns, the active corner braking will help prevent understeering by braking the inner wheel and providing more stability to the vehicle handling. Additional rigidity to the current generation is achieved through additional spot welds and adhesive. Technology at the Speed of Life The Lexus Multimedia System touchscreen was moved nearly 5.5 inches closer in the 2020 redesign to the driver and offers control of both audio and climate systems, in addition to providing a view of what’s behind the vehicle via the backup camera.
