With the discount on the exchange for used cars, a restyled medium SUV now costs R$ 189.990 and is cheaper than top versions of the Nivus and T-Cross
Volkswagen has started an aggressive sales campaign for the 2026 Taos, which positions the midsize SUV below the price of the brand’s own compact models. That’s because, with a bonus of R$ 10 thousand in the exchange of a used car, valid until the end of May, the Comfortline version has its value reduced from R$ 199.990 to R$ 189.990. The amount is lower than the R$ 195.990 asked for the Nivus GTS and the R$ 193.990 for the T-Cross Highline.
The model, which has recently undergone restyling to align with the manufacturer’s global identity, received visual updates focused on the optical assemblies and bumpers. At the front, the headlights have been redesigned and now have an LED fillet at the top of the grille, next to the hood. At the rear, the taillights are now connected by a light strip, while the alloy wheels have gained new exclusive designs.

Internally, the Taos 2026 adopted finishing materials in darker tones to elevate the perception of refinement. The standard technology package includes the 10.1″ VW Play multimedia system and 10.25″ digital panel. In terms of safety, the utility offers six airbags and driving assistance (ADAS), such as adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking.
Under the hood, the SUV maintains the 1.4 TSI engine with 150 hp and 25,5 kgfm, coupled to the six-speed automatic transmission. According to data from Inmetro, consumption in the city is between 7.7 km/l (ethanol) and 11.1 km/l (gasoline), while in the road cycle the averages range from 9.3 km/l to 13.3 km/l. The color palette includes six options, with an increase of R$ 2,200 for metallic or pearlescent paints, with Pure White being the only shade at no additional cost.
