Bob Penkhus Volkswagen - How the 2025 Volkswagen Taos Fits the Colorado Lifestyle around Salida, CO
If your weekends swing between downtown coffee runs, scenic drives along the Arkansas River, and spur-of-the-moment detours into the foothills, the 2025 Volkswagen Taos lines up perfectly with the rhythm of life around Salida, CO. The latest redesign sharpens style and brings a more intuitive 8-inch infotainment display to the center of the cabin, while a turbocharged punch and 184 lb-ft of torque help you merge, pass, and climb with confidence. Pair that with available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive and the Taos feels as at home on a rain-slick road as it does on a crisp, dry morning. The appeal goes beyond specs—the Taos simply fits. It parks easily, hauls friends and gear without a fuss, and keeps conversations calm thanks to solid noise isolation and smart chassis tuning.
Two aspects stand out for drivers who live for day trips and micro-adventures: all-weather traction and driver assistance. Available 4MOTION® adds secure grip when pavement is unpredictable, while IQ.DRIVE® provides a helpful layer of safety support with hands-on, semi-automated capability. Together, they turn long drives into quiet, confident journeys and short hops into effortless errands. Inside, App-Connect and VW Wi-Fi Hotspot keep you connected, available wireless charging reduces clutter, and the seating-for-five cabin remains flexible for anything from grocery runs to paddleboard days. One test drive is usually all it takes to feel how cohesive the package truly is.
- All-weather confidence: Available 4MOTION® can actively distribute power to help manage traction on wet pavement, gravel shortcuts, or early-spring slush.
- Driver assistance, simplified: IQ.DRIVE® brings features like distance-keeping and lane-centering support to ease fatigue on longer drives.
- Everyday usability: The 8-inch infotainment display, App-Connect, and available wireless charging streamline the cockpit and reduce distractions.
- Compact footprint, big flexibility: Easy to park yet roomy for five, with fold-flat versatility for weekend gear.
