A right-sized SUV built for how Boulder actually drives
The 2027 Taos is Volkswagen’s compact SUV — roomier than subcompacts like the HR-V or Kona, but easier to park and more efficient than a Tiguan. Its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine makes 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, and that torque arrives low in the rev range, so merging onto US-36 or climbing toward Nederland feels effortless rather than strained.
Front-wheel drive is standard and rated up to 35 mpg highway, but the reason most Boulder buyers choose the Taos is 4MOTION all-wheel drive — a $1,700 option that adds real traction for snowy mornings on the Diagonal and unplowed foothill roads. The Taos also offers the most maximum cargo space in the compact-SUV class at 65.9 cubic feet, so gear, dogs, and Costco runs all fit.
Inside, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, and higher trims add VW’s 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro digital gauges. It’s a genuinely usable, uncomplicated cabin — the kind of interior that ages well.
Why the Taos fits life in Boulder County
Boulder County means real winters and real elevation. 4MOTION all-wheel drive with hill-descent control and selectable drive modes gives the Taos surefooted traction from Gunbarrel to Eldora, while a tall seating position and generous ground clearance help on rutted dirt roads out toward Jamestown.
It’s also efficient enough for the daily commute. A front-drive Taos returning 30 mpg combined keeps fuel costs down on the stretch between Longmont, Louisville, and downtown Boulder, and its compact footprint makes Pearl Street parking far less of a chore than a three-row SUV.
Emich Volkswagen of Boulder is right off the Boulder Turnpike, serving Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Superior, and Broomfield with VW-certified service and a Taos inventory you can browse online before you visit.
