SPYSHOTS: 2025 Volkswagen Taos
#volkswagen #vw #taos #spy #spyshots
It was about time Volkswagen did something to the Taos sold in North America, given that it was presented almost four years ago in our market (for the 2022MY), building on China's Tharu that entered production in 2018.
Unlike the Tharu, the Taos features revisions to its front and rear ends that make it look more like a product sold in the West rather than a vehicle targeting the People's Republic. The model builds on the VW Group's MQB A1 platform shared with the SEAT Ateca, Volkswagen T-Roc, and Skoda Karoq and is now in for a mid-cycle refresh.
Our spy photographers captured a prototype testing in the open somewhere in Germany. It features camouflage meant to trick bystanders into thinking they're looking at the outgoing iteration. Nevertheless, it clearly hides more modern lighting units and bumpers beneath the stickers and probably full-width light bars at the front and rear. VW also revised the main and lower grille, and the side vent trim looks different.
As per the badging seen on the tailgate, the model is an SEL with 4Motion all-wheel drive. However, that could be the automaker further tricking us, so we won't delve into its traits just yet. Rumors also speak of a few interior novelties, perhaps a new infotainment system that would make it look and feel more modern. Still, nothing is official yet, so we cannot tell you if it indeed has a new main screen and maybe a different steering wheel, a revised center console, etc.
