Come on, Honda — maybe they should have spent a little more time in research and development before releasing the new Honda CR-V. The new 2023 Volkswagen Taos may be a model year behind, but it holds its own in this match-up. The Volkswagen Taos has a slightly higher mileage rating on the highway than the Honda CR-V,4,5 and both SUVs have standard LED headlights and offer wireless charging on higher trims. However, only the Volkswagen Taos has standard roof rails — those who want the same feature on their Honda CR-V will have to pay extra for it. The Volkswagen Taos also is the only one of the two that has optional ventilated front seats. And when you look at technology, the Volkswagen Taos wins again — its optional 10.25-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro is much larger than the Honda CR-V model’s tiny seven-inch digital instrument cluster screen.
Plus, when you factor in the MSRP difference between the two models (yikes — it’s more than $5,000),2,3 there’s really no comparison. Drive home the new 2023 Volkswagen Taos today!
