Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wagoneer than in the Volkswagen Taos. The Jeep Wagoneer offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Taos, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Jeep Wagoneer, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with 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 Jeep Wagoneer will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.

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

Handling
The Jeep Wagoneer has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Taos, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Jeep Wagoneer greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.

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

Utility
Soccer Moms and those who need to chauffeur around a lot of people will appreciate the Jeep Wagoneer more than the Volkswagen Taos, due to its significantly greater seating capacity. With the Jeep Wagoneer, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Volkswagen Taos.
