Wondering whether the Taos is big enough for your life between Twin Falls, Jerome and Burley? Here is how this five-seat compact SUV measures up against the Tiguan, the Atlas and its closest rivals.
The Taos is the compact SUV in the Volkswagen lineup. It is small enough to slip into a parking spot downtown on Main Avenue, with room inside for five people and the gear that comes with them.
Fold the rear seats and you get 65.9 cubic feet of cargo space. That is plenty for a weekend of camping gear, a stack of boxes from the store on Blue Lakes, or skis for a day at Pomerelle.
The Taos is the smallest of the three Volkswagen SUVs below. If you need more room, the Tiguan steps up in cargo space, and the Atlas adds a third row.
Easy to park and efficient, with room for five. A strong fit for commuters and small families.
