Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Tucson than in the Volkswagen Taos. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Hyundai Tucson and the Volkswagen Taos.

Convenience
The Volkswagen Taos requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Hyundai Tucson, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Hyundai Tucson is somewhat more expensive than the Volkswagen Taos.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Tucson is a little wider than the Volkswagen Taos, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Hyundai Tucson, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Taos.

Handling
The Hyundai Tucson has a larger turning radius than the Volkswagen Taos, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Hyundai Tucson has a little more horsepower than the Volkswagen Taos.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Hyundai Tucson doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Volkswagen Taos.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Tucson and the Volkswagen Taos. The Hyundai Tucson has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volkswagen Taos.
