The South Shore Sweet Spot: Why the 2025 VW Taos is the Perfectly Sized SUV for Brossard Life

Living in Brossard means navigating a unique mix of suburban convenience and urban accessibility. You need a vehicle that can handle weekend trips to Costco and weekday commutes to downtown Montreal with equal ease. The 2025 VW Taos delivers exactly that balance, offering nimble city driving with genuine SUV capability.

At 4,467 mm in length, the Taos slots neatly between compact cars and bulky three-row SUVs. This size makes it ideal for Brossard's mix of shopping plazas, residential driveways, and busy parking lots. The elevated driving position and cargo space of an SUV come without the stress of maneuvering a massive vehicle through tight spaces.

Power That Works for Real Life

The redesigned 2025 Taos now delivers 174 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque from its 1.5 TSI turbocharged engine. That's a 16-horsepower bump over the previous year, giving you confident acceleration for highway merging and passing. The engine pairs with either front-wheel drive or 4MOTION all-wheel drive, with AWD models now featuring an eight-speed automatic transmission for smoother shifting and better fuel economy.

Fuel efficiency remains strong at 7.4 L/100 km combined across the lineup. For families dealing with rising gas prices, this efficiency helps keep monthly budgets in check while still providing the versatility of an SUV.

Cargo Space That Actually Makes Sense

Here's where the Taos really shines for Brossard families. With 1,866 litres of cargo space with the rear seats folded, you can handle large shopping trips, sports equipment, or weekend camping gear. The cargo area features a low loading height, making it easier to lift heavy items without straining your back.

The 60/40 split-folding rear seats give you flexibility for odd-shaped items while keeping passenger space when needed. Whether you're hauling hockey bags for weekend tournaments or picking up furniture from the South Shore's many retail outlets, the Taos adapts to your needs.

Technology That Connects Your Life

The 2025 Taos features a redesigned dashboard with an 8-inch floating infotainment screen that integrates seamlessly with your smartphone. Wireless App-Connect means you can use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay without cables, keeping your phone charged via the wireless charging pad.

Key tech features include:

• Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro with 10.25-inch configurable display
• Voice control for hands-free operation
• SiriusXM satellite radio for entertainment variety
• myVW mobile app with Car-Net connected services
• Remote start for those cold Quebec mornings

Safety Features for South Shore Roads

Driving between Brossard and Montreal means dealing with everything from residential streets to Highway 10 traffic. The Taos comes standard with Travel Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, and emergency assist for semi-automated driving support on highways.

The comprehensive safety suite also includes Front Assist with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian monitoring, Side Assist blind spot monitoring with rear traffic alert, and LED projector headlights with cornering lights for better visibility on winding South Shore roads.
