Comfort
The Mazda CX-50 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Volkswagen Taos, with comparable head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Mazda CX-50 and the Volkswagen Taos.
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 Mazda CX-50 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the Mazda CX-50 is much wider than the Volkswagen Taos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Mazda CX-50, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volkswagen Taos.
Handling
The Mazda CX-50 has a smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen Taos, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The Mazda CX-50 has a little more horsepower than the Volkswagen Taos.
Powertrain
With similar torque, the Mazda CX-50 and the Volkswagen Taos are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Mazda CX-50 and the Volkswagen Taos.
The Mazda CX-50 has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Taos, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
