Find out how much the Volkswagen Taos 2022 can tow at Kearny Mesa Volkswagen.
An exceptional source of fun and excitement that’s matched with practicality, is the tagline the Volkswagen Taos lives by. Any competing SUV that efficiently creates power isn’t always usual, however, the Volkswagen Taos can always have up to 5 people moving.
The Volkswagen Taos horsepower is 158hp. Although you can equip the optional 4MOTION® or standard 1.5L TSI powertrain, your Volkswagen Taos still produces 184 lb-ft of torque and 158hp. The 1.5-liter engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission but the 4MOTION® drivetrain teams with a 7-speed DSG auto transmission.
The Taos has between a 3,175-3,430 pound curb weight. The curb weight of the Taos will come down to the engine you select, regardless of what model you select. Equipping the base 1.5-liter TSI powertrain plays a role in the Volkswagen Taos making a weight of 3,175lbs. Going with the available 1.5-liter 4MOTION® powertrain and 7-speed automatic transmission takes the Volkswagen Taos curb weight to 3,430lbs.
The Volkswagen Taos ground clearance is 6.4-6.6in. One more dimension that gets impacted by the engine selection is the ground clearance listed for the SUV. The lowest ground clearance of 6.4 inches is tied to the 1.5-liter base powertrain so this will be expected. For a slight enhancement, you can choose the optional 4MOTION® engine to reach a riding height of 6.6in.
