The 2027 Volkswagen Taos adds a new Sport trim to an already capable lineup, giving St. Louis shoppers a fifth configuration that delivers athletic styling without premium pricing. Building on the 2025 refresh that brought new styling, more power, and upgraded equipment, the Taos remains Volkswagen’s most accessible SUV and one of the stronger values in the compact crossover segment.
The 2027 Taos is Volkswagen’s subcompact crossover, now available in five trims: S, Sport, SE, SE Black Package, and SEL. The new Sport trim is the headline addition for MY27. Positioned between the S and SE in the lineup, it brings blacked-out exterior accents, gunmetal trim on the front bumper, rear skid plate, and exhaust tips, giving buyers a more athletic look without stepping into premium pricing. The Sport trim mirrors a similar move in the Jetta lineup, where that configuration became a strong seller for style-focused buyers on a realistic budget.
All 2027 Taos trims are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with 4MOTION all-wheel drive available across the lineup. The Taos delivers strong fuel efficiency for its segment, making it a practical daily option for St. Louis commuters who cover significant mileage. Standard equipment includes wireless connectivity, a digital instrument cluster, and the driver-assistance suite carried forward from the 2025 refresh.
The Taos is built for buyers entering the Volkswagen lineup for the first time, or for shoppers who want a compact SUV that is efficient, easy to navigate in urban environments, and backed by VW’s interior quality at an accessible price. First-time crossover buyers, budget-conscious commuters, and smaller households looking for a practical second vehicle will find the Taos positioned directly at their priorities.
The new Sport trim broadens the 2027 appeal for style-focused shoppers who want a sportier exterior without paying for premium equipment. The full lineup from S to SEL scales across multiple budget points, and available 4MOTION AWD provides St. Louis winter confidence without requiring a step up to a midsize SUV. For buyers comparing options across the Suntrup showroom, the Taos sits at the entry level of the VW SUV lineup — the most accessible path into Volkswagen ownership in St. Louis.
