2022 Volkswagen Taos Gas Mileage
You live a busy life and have places to go, so you don’t want to stop at the pump every morning on your commute. You need a vehicle that has plenty of gas mileage that can get you to and from work, the grocery store, the kids’ school, and everywhere else you go. Welcome the 2022 Volkswagen Taos.
The 2022 Volkswagen Taos has an EPA-estimated gas mileage of 28 city/36 highway MPG, which means you’ll be spending less time at the gas station and more time on the road.1 If you’re interested in giving this fuel-efficient compact SUV a test drive, come visit us at McDonald Volkswagen, happily serving the Littleton, Parker, and Castle Rock, Colorado, communities.
What’s Under the Hood Impacts Gas Mileage
You may have a vague idea of what impacts your fuel economy, but our team believes in giving you all the information you need to make an informed decision. As you may expect, the type of engine you have impacts your gas mileage. The 2022 VW Taos has a 1.5L 4-cylinder TSI engine that offers 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.
Another thing that will impact your gas mileage is your drivetrain—this is which axles or wheels your transmission sends the power to. The 2022 VW Taos has two available drivetrains: a front-wheel drive (FWD), which sends power to the front axle, and 4MOTION® all-wheel drive (AWD), which sends power to both the front and rear axles.
2022 Volkswagen Taos Gas Mileage
Now that you know some of the mechanical details that affect your overall gas mileage, let’s get into the numbers. If you have a VW Taos model with FWD, you’ll have an EPA-estimated 28 city/36 highway/31 combined MPG.1 Add to this a 13.2-gallon fuel tank, and you’ll be spending more time on the road and less time at the pump.
If you choose a model with 4MOTION® AWD, your fuel economy will be slightly less efficient. This is because more gas has to be spent sending power to both axles. With AWD, you’ll have an EPA-estimated 25 city/32 highway/28 combined MPG.1
Tips for Improving Gas Mileage
No matter which drivetrain you choose, there are ways you can improve your fuel economy—some of which you’re probably already doing. The easiest thing you can do is simply keep up with your regularly scheduled maintenance, such as oil changes, tire alignments, and brake inspections. A healthier engine will perform better and improve your overall MPG.
Making sure you aren’t bringing around things you don’t need is another great way to improve your MPG. Extra weight means the engine works harder and can decrease your fuel economy. Try not to put heavy things on the roof of your 2022 VW Taos, because this can increase drag and lower your fuel economy.
