The new VW Taos is named in honor of the town of Taos, (Tow as in towel, ose as in close) New Mexico. It is a completely new SUV powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-4 that makes 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque at a barely-breathing 1,750 RPM. The engine uses the Miller Cycle protocols that combine high fuel injection pressure with variable turbine geometry for a more powerful yet more fuel-efficient engine than found in the 1.4-liter Turbo Jetta sedan. All that power is delivered to a front-wheel-drive system via an 8-speed automatic transmission. AWD Taos 4Motion models employ an electro-hydraulic center clutch pack which splits the power from front to rear via a 8-speed automatic transmission. The newly tuned suspension, which features a torsion-bar rear axle with Front-drive models, or a multilink suspension with AWD versions, gives the Taos a decidedly European driving ethos, resulting in stellar ride quality and handling.
