2025 Volkswagen TaosEngine Specs

Performance and fuel efficiency -- that's at the heart of every 2025 VW Taos for sale in San Antonio. It's the only option here to come with a standard turbocharged engine, yet also returns the best fuel economy of this entire group. How does it do it? It boils down to how turbos work. Because they allow an engine to reach peak power output without working as hard as a non-turbocharged powertrain, turbos enabled VW engineers to improve Taos mpg ratings without sacrificing power.

Yet even though this isn't a secret in 2025, new SUVs like the HR-V and Tucson still don't offer a turbocharged engine even as an option; those that do, like the Mazda CX-30, restrict it to the highest trim levels. Only the Taos democratizes turbocharged efficiency by making one standard on every trim. That's German Engineering at its finest.
