The 2022 Taos is latest Volkswagen SUV, and it is about to hit the roads in North America and Complexe VW 440 in Laval! This new entry-level model will replace the base version of the Golf, which will only be available in GTI and R versions for 2022.
As for the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan, it represents a mid-cycle refresh for VW. The 2nd generation of this SUV, first introduced back in 2017, has been given a facelift that will allow it to remain competitive in its class, which grows even fiercer every year. This new version will be available in the third quarter of 2021.
So what are the differences between these two SUVs, and more importantly, which one is the best choice for your needs and budget? To help you compare them and make an informed decision, we’ve prepared this match-up between the 2022 VW Taos and the 2022 VW Tiguan!
The 2022 VW Taos is offered at a price ranging from $26,995 to $36,695, making it a very affordable SUV. Unfortunately, the price range for the 2022 Tiguan has not been released yet, but for comparison, the 2021 version had a base price of $29,795 which climbed to $40,195 for the high-end trim. We expect the 2022 version to offer similar pricing.
