Chart is based on 6 vehicles in TrueDelta's reliability survey.
These are the problems owners most commonly reported on TrueDelta's Car Reliability Survey. For many models not all entries have been coded yet, so focus on the relative numbers rather than the absolute numbers. Usually when people say "they all have this problem," the problem in question actually affects between 10 percent and 20 percent of all cars. We aren't counting wear items like brake pads and rotors that truly do require periodic replacement on all cars.

TrueDelta Reviews the Materials And Workmanship of the 2023 Volkswagen Taos

2023 Volkswagen Taos Materials And Workmanship: Cons
YearComment
2022 The interior materials of the Taos aren't below the class average, but aside from the SEL's LCD instrumentation these don't look or feel better than the class average, either. The leather feels like vinyl, and hard plastic tops the instrument panel. If you want a VW crossover with interior materials like those in the GTI, well, you can't buy it in the U.S. Volkswagen learned the hard way that too few Americans are willing to pay for its European-grade products. In its best year--by far--the Touareg found 27,706 American buyers. From 2007 on it only cracked 10,000 per year once, and twice bottomed out around 4,000. Per year. Recently VW has been selling over 30,000 Atlases per quarter. Case closed. The above said, the Tao's interior materials are significantly better than those in VW's earlier efforts at American-market cars, the 2011 Jetta and 2012 Passat. They might even be a bit better than those in the Kia Seltos. I'd need to drive them closer together to be sure. This isn't a major complaint. I don't have any major complaints about the Taos (unless it proves as troublesome as the Atlas was its first couple of years). VW has successfully designed a vehicle without evident deal-killers. full 2022 Volkswagen Taos review
