An advanced Miller Cycle powerplant with variable turbine geometry, the Taos powerplant is more powerful and fuel-efficient than the turbo 1.4-liter used in the Jetta sedan.This All-wheel-drive (AWD) Taos 4Motion models, which employs an electro-hydraulic center clutch pack that can send as much as 50 percent of the power to the rear wheels, get a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic.Competitors for this small VW SUV are the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Hyundai Tucson, and Subaru Crosstrek, just to name just a few.Driving the Volkswagen TaosThe Taos impresses with its peppy engine. When you turn right in the Taos at a red light, the abundant low-end torque of the turbo 1.5-liter makes it easy to screech the inside front tire upon take-off.Boost arrives quickly, and the 8-speed automatic shifts smoothly and when expected. There are no paddle shifters, but the gear handle can be pulled rearward for an upshift or nudged forward for a downshift.Handling also is impressive. This Taos feels sharp in the corners, where it exhibits minimal body roll. This is a low-slung compact crossover, so it feels more like a car or a station wagon from the driver's seat than an SUV. At the same time, it's a quiet and comfortable highway cruiser with a spacious interior and a generous cargo compartment. The view out the windsh
