Volkswagen Taos
2022 MSRP starting at $26,695
The Golf is no more and the Tiguan now exceeds $30,000, but the all-new Taos beautifully takes over for families on a budget. It’s actually larger and more spacious than most competitors. For example, cargo capacity with the rear seats up is 705-790 litres depending on the configuration. The Taos uses a new turbocharged 1.5-litre engine that produces 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.
