- Prices for the 2025 VW Taos now start at $24,995, up from $23,995 last year.

Last month, Volkswagen presented the facelifted 2025 Taos. The updated model doesn’t just include several exterior and interior changes but also has an upgraded engine. While this is all very nice, the downside of these updates is that prices for the new model have been increased by as much as $1,180.
As with last year, the 2025 Taos range starts with the entry-level S. Previously, prices had started at $23,995 before a $1,425 destination fee, but now, the Taos S starts at $24,995 plus the same $1,425 destination fee. The Taos S can also be configured with 4Motion all-wheel drive, although this increases the start price to $26,695.

The 2025 Taos range then includes the SE, which, surprisingly, is a little cheaper this year than it was last year. The 2024 model started at $28,165 in front-wheel drive guise, but the 2025 version can now be had for $27,895. It, too, is also offered with all-wheel drive, increasing the price to $29,595. The SE Black trim also returns for 2025 and prices for it have fallen from $30,365 for the front-wheel drive model to $30,145. The all-wheel drive now costs $31,845.
Continuing to top out the VW Taos family is the SEL. Prices now start at $34,695 for the standard AWD model, a $1,180 increase from the $33,515 starting price of the 2024 Taos SEL.
Despite the fluctuations in price, the Taos should remain popular not just in the US but also in Canada and Mexico. All models come standard with an upgraded 1.5-liter TSI four-cylinder engine with new fuel injectors, revised piston rings, and a modified turbo housing.
VW has also installed a larger intercooler and a new gasoline particulate filter, allowing power to climb from 158 hp to 174 hp. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission of the old model has also been replaced by an eight-speed automatic.
Inside, the 2025 model includes a larger 8.0-inch infotainment display, an 8.0-inch digital instrument cluster, new touch climate controls, and a revised dashboard.
