Volkswagen raises prices on new Taos SUV

Volkswagen has implemented a 2% price increase on most of its vehicle range in Argentina for July, affecting its popular Taos SUV. This adjustment follows a period of stable pricing for the model.

The Taos, which recently received an update, has performed strongly in the Argentine market, securing a position among the country's top-selling SUVs with 5,682 units registered in the first half of the year, according to data from the Association of Automobile Concessionaires of the Argentine Republic (Acara).

Previously manufactured in Argentina, the Taos is now imported from Mexico. This change occurred as Volkswagen shifted its local production focus to the new generation of the Amarok pickup truck. Despite the import status, the Taos continues to be a significant model for the brand in Argentina, being the second-largest automaker in terms of sales.

All Taos versions are equipped with a 1.4 TSI gasoline engine delivering 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The updated model boasts a refreshed exterior design, aligning with Volkswagen's latest styling cues, including revised bumpers, grille, and lighting. Inside, the vehicle features a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10-inch central touchscreen with smartphone integration, wireless charging, and four USB-C ports. Safety equipment includes six airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, and a rearview camera. The Taos comes with a three-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty.
