2022 Volkswagen Taos Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2022 | Volkswagen's "bigger for Americans" strategy continues with the Taos. Even though the new crossover is the smallest VW offers in North America, its rear passengers enjoy a seat set comfortably high off the floor and plenty of room for their heads, shoulders, and legs. On their spec sheets the Kia Seltos and Chevrolet TrailBlazer offer more combined legroom, but I observed more space in the VW. The top two trim levels include rear air vents. Why, then, would someone spend a few thousand more for the Tiguan? Perhaps they occasionally need a third-row seat but don't want a crossover the size of the Atlas. The Tiguan's second-row seat isn't quite as roomy as the Taos's, but unlike the latter it can slide and recline. see full Volkswagen Taos review |

Press reviews have talked about this. Great shape, and the pleather is comfy (not on hot summer days). see full Volkswagen CC review |

The seats go way back and have a high range of motion. This car is more roomy than my previous car which was a 2002 Acura TL. see full Volkswagen CC review |

The cc only seats four. This is only a downfall if seating 5 is going to be necessary. The rear seat is very stylish and comfortable though. see full Volkswagen CC review |
