2025 Volkswagen Taos Exterior Design

olkswagen of America Inc. announced a range of updates for the Taos that deliver a fresh new look, upgraded technology, and more power to complement the versatility and efficiency of this affordable, fun-to-drive SUV. Revised exterior styling and an expanded selection of paint options are joined by new wheel designs to deliver even more curb appeal, while upgraded in-car tech and powertrain refinements further elevate the appeal of this neatly packaged compact sport-utility vehicle.

The updates begin with the exterior, which now sports a more expressive front-end look. Changes include a new bumper design, a new grille with an available light bar, and standard LED projector headlights with available AFS. Connected taillights and an illuminated Volkswagen badge at the rear add to the distinctive, upscale appearance of the 2025 Taos. Three new paint colors—Bright Moss Green, Monterey Blue Pearl, and Monument Gray—enhance the aesthetic palette. New wheel offerings include new 17-inch aluminum alloys for front-wheel drive S models, 18-inch alloys for the front-wheel drive SE, and 19-inch wheels for SEL. The SE Black trim, introduced for 2024, continues with a black roof, trim, and unique wheels—18 inches for front-wheel-drive models and 19 inches for 4Motion® all-wheel-drive models.
