The Taos offers impressive interior space, turbocharged efficiency and performance, state-of-the-art technologies and reliability you can count on. It’s basically in its own class, leaving rivals in the dust when it comes to driving dynamics. It also includes some of the most advanced safety technologies available in the industry. If you’re looking for a versatile crossover that your family will love, this one is for you!
Here, we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Taos to the 2022 Nissan Qashqai.
The 2022 Volkswagen Taos doesn’t skimp on performance
The 2022 Taos bring more to the table when it comes to performance. While most rivals use naturally-aspirated engines that deliver limited torque, the Taos uses an efficient turbocharged unit. Its four-cylinder, 1.5-litre turbocharged engine produces 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.
The Nissan Qashqai cannot compete with this. All trims are powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine that only delivers 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque. This is an important disadvantage.
But the Taos goes beyond horsepower and torque to provide only the best in terms of driving dynamics. In FWD Taos models, an 8-speed transmission manages the output. AWD models receive a sporty 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. All Nissan Qashqai models use a continuously variable transmission that doesn’t deliver the same driving experience – not to mention its notoriously poor reliability.
Armed with its advanced transmission technology, the FWD Taos only use 6.6 L/100 km on the highway. This is much better than the Qashqai's highway rating of 7.3 L/100 km.
The 2022 Volkswagen Taos is more versatile than the Qashqai
Even with its compact size, the Taos delivers in terms of space. Passengers all benefit from more room compared to the Qashqai, but engineers have also made the cargo volume more welcoming for their stuff. First, the Taos includes 1,877 litres of cargo volume behind the front seats. The Nissan Qashqai only offers 1,500 litres in the same configuration.
But thanks to close to 800 litres of space, the Taos delivers great cargo volume even when it’s full of passengers. it The Qashqai’s only has 566 litres when it’s full of passengers.
