Volkswagen Taos
Here’s another compact crossover that made its first appearance in Canada this year; we got to test the newest non-electric VW out this past July.
From Vincent Aubé:
You can easily spot a family resemblance between the Taos and big brother the Atlas, especially at the front where the grille, black glossy centre panel, VW badge and headlights are all coherently organized. The hood is quite flat, but the two bumps in the center of the hood are a minor but effective detail. As for the profile of the pocket crossover, it too resembles the brand's other SUVs.
I must also mention that the Taos is actually larger than the average bear in its class. In fact, as soon as you open the doors or the tailgate, you can see you're dealing with a “big” small vehicle.
… this first kick at the can behind the wheel did demonstrate that the Taos proves it has many positive qualities, all of which it will need to take on the pack of pocket-sized SUVs awaiting it.
