Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac XT6 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 Cadillac XT6 and the Volkswagen Taos.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac XT6 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 Cadillac XT6 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT6 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 Cadillac XT6, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volkswagen Taos.

Handling
The Cadillac XT6 has a larger turning radius than the Volkswagen Taos, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac XT6 greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT6 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen Taos.

Utility
The Cadillac XT6 offers greater seating capacity than the Volkswagen Taos, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Cadillac XT6 has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volkswagen Taos.
