Big Tech in a Compact Package: A Look Inside the 2025 VW Taos's Digital Cockpit and IQ.DRIVE

Step into the 2025 Volkswagen Taos and you'll discover technology that makes everyday driving easier, safer, and more connected. This compact SUV brings advanced digital features and intelligent safety systems that were once reserved for luxury vehicles.

The Taos offers smart tech that actually works for you, not against you. From the crisp digital displays to the comprehensive suite of driver assistance features, every system is designed to enhance your time on the road while keeping you connected to what matters most.

Your Digital Command Centre

The heart of the Taos's tech experience starts with the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. All Trendline models come with an 8.0-inch instrument cluster that replaces traditional gauges with a clear, customizable display. This digital setup shows your speed, fuel level, and trip information in sharp detail that's easy to read in any lighting condition.

Comfortline 4MOTION models step up to the Digital Cockpit Pro with a larger 10.25-inch configurable display. This enhanced system lets you personalize what information appears front and centre, whether you want navigation maps, audio details, or vehicle data prominently displayed.

Seamless Smartphone Integration

Every Taos includes an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with App-Connect smartphone integration. This means your Android Auto or Apple CarPlay connects automatically when you plug in your phone. Comfortline models upgrade this to wireless App-Connect, so your phone connects the moment you get in the car.

The system includes multiple USB Type-C ports with fast charging performance, ensuring your devices stay powered during longer drives. Four speakers come standard on Trendline models, while Comfortline trims upgrade to a six-speaker setup for better audio quality throughout the cabin.

IQ.DRIVE: Your Intelligent Driving Partner

The 2025 Taos comes standard with Volkswagen's IQ.DRIVE suite of advanced safety and driver assistance technologies. This comprehensive system uses front and rear radar, a front camera, and ultrasonic sensors to monitor your surroundings and provide assistance when needed.

Here's what IQ.DRIVE includes on every Taos:

• Travel Assist - Semi-automated hands-on driving assistance that helps steer, accelerate, and brake while keeping you centred in your lane 
• Front Assist - Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking that can detect vehicles and pedestrians 
• Side Assist - Active blind spot monitoring with rear traffic alert to warn you of vehicles in adjacent lanes 
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go - Maintains your set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic 
• Lane Assist - Lane keeping system that uses cameras to help you stay within lane markings 
• Emergency Assist - Can bring the vehicle to a gradual stop if the system detects driver incapacitation

Smart Convenience Features

Beyond safety, the Taos includes practical tech features that make daily driving more convenient. The KESSY Go system provides keyless access with a push-button start, so you can unlock and start your vehicle while keeping the key in your pocket or purse.

Dual-zone electronic climate control allows you and your front passenger to set different temperature preferences, while heated front seats and a heated steering wheel ensure comfort during cold Canadian winters. Rain-sensing wipers automatically adjust their speed based on precipitation intensity.

Connected Vehicle Services

Every Taos includes the myVW mobile app with Car-Net connected vehicle services. This technology lets you remotely check your vehicle's status, lock or unlock doors, and even locate your parked Taos from your smartphone. The system also provides emergency call service for added peace of mind during your travels.

The Complete 2025 Taos Package

The refreshed 2025 Volkswagen Taos delivers far more than just advanced technology.
