Performance
Volkswagen uses a new high-tech version of their EA211 engine in the 2022 Volkswagen Taos. This turbocharged four-cylinder engine is upgraded from its 1.4L counterpart found in the Jetta to a 1.5L variant which will provide 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Despite being larger than the original EA211 engine and providing increased performance, it has been revealed this engine is more fuel efficient. This is done with new high-tech design technology to get every mile out of the engine without sacrificing any performance.  The Taos has front-wheel drive with an eight-speed automatic, or 4Motion® all-wheel drive (AWD) with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
