Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Taos than in the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Volkswagen Taos will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Alfa Romeo Stelvio.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Alfa Romeo Stelvio as you will with the Volkswagen Taos, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 Alfa Romeo Stelvio will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is much wider than the Volkswagen Taos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Taos.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen Taos.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and the Volkswagen Taos. The Alfa Romeo Stelvio has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Taos, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
