How Much the Volkswagen Taos Costs in September 2026

Volkswagen raised the price of every Taos version by 1.5% in September, setting the SUV’s starting price at 60,137,550 Argentine pesos.

The increase comes as the model follows a broader downturn in Argentina’s car market. The country registered 44,415 vehicles in August, 19.2% fewer than in the same month a year earlier, according to the Association of Automotive Dealers of the Argentine Republic, known as Acara. The Taos accounted for 534 of those registrations.

Between January and August, the model reached 6,888 registrations, a 47% decline from the same period last year. All three versions use the same 1.4 TSI petrol engine, producing 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Standard equipment includes a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel, a 10-inch central multimedia screen, wireless charging and four USB-C ports.

The Taos has also undergone a major change in supply. Volkswagen stopped producing it at the General Pacheco plant to make room for the new Amarok generation. The SUV now arrives in Argentina from Mexico.

That shift coincided with the expiration on March 18 of the quota under Economic Complementation Agreement No. 55, which had allowed vehicles from Mexico to enter without tariffs. The broader agreement remained in force, but new operations became subject to a 35% external tariff. Vehicles already shipped when the quota expired kept the previous benefit.

The Taos is among the models affected. The situation has not yet been resolved, and the impact on different brands is expected to grow as accumulated stock runs out. Major automakers nevertheless expect a solution before prices rise sharply or shortages emerge.
