Used 2022 VolkswagenTaos SE

This used 2022 Volkswagen Taos 1.5T SE front-wheel drive (FWD) at Lexus of Peoria in Peoria, Illinois, combines turbocharged performance and everyday versatility. Finished in Deep Black Pearl with a Black CloudTex and cloth interior, this one-owner SUV has a clean AutoCheck report. Highlights include heated seats, remote start, and added cargo accessories.

Performance and efficiency

The 1.5-liter TSI 16-valve DOHC turbocharged four-cylinder engine features an Engine Start-Stop System and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic. Original EPA estimates are 28 MPG city, 36 MPG highway, and 31 MPG combined; actual results vary.

Original options and accessories

Monster Mats (set of 4) & Heavy Duty Trunk Liner w/ VW CarGo Blocks ($235 when new) helps protect the floor and cargo area while organizing belongings. The Privacy Cover for cargo area ($200) helps keep items out of view, and the Roadside Assistance Kit & First Aid Kit Combo Pack ($99) adds useful emergency supplies.

The Volkswagen Prepaid Scheduled Maintenance Contract w/ 30,000-mile Servicing for SUVs was originally priced at $205. Its listing does not establish remaining service coverage. Deep Black Pearl paint, Black CloudTex and cloth upholstery, and the eight-speed automatic with Tiptronic and FWD were no-charge selections. The original listed cost of added equipment when new totaled $739, not the current selling price.

The 60/40 split-folding rear seat has a center armrest and pass-through for carrying longer items. Manual climate control includes second-row vents.
