The 2022 ID.4 is available in two trim levels, the Pro, which has an MSRP of $40,760, and the Pro S, which has an MSRP of $45,260.

2022 VolkswagenTaos: A New VW SUV

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is a compact SUV that combines all the advantages of a sedan with those of an SUV. It's easy to maneuver and park but offers more cargo space and more comfortable seating than a traditional sedan.

Key specs:

1.5L Turbo engine with 158-horsepower
All-wheel drive model available
158 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque
8-speed auto transmission with FWD; 7-speed DSG dual-clutch with AWD

The brand-new Volkswagen SUV includes three trim options: the S at $22,995, the SE at $27,245, and the SEL at $31,490.

The engine pairs with front-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission or an all-wheel drive layout with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

A smaller SUV scores highly with fuel economy, standing at 28/36 MPG city/highway for FWD and 25/32 MPG city/highway for AWD models.

For the base S trim, you might find yourself paying extra for some of the more desirable features, which is why we suggest the SEL if you want to enjoy features like dual-zone automatic climate control, actual leather upholstery, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, traffic sign recognition, navigation, and an eight-speaker BeatsAudio sound system.
