Comparison Review

Comfort
The Jeep Wrangler offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Volkswagen Taos. The Jeep Wrangler 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
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Jeep Wrangler 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 Jeep Wrangler will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.

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

Handling
The Jeep Wrangler 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 Jeep Wrangler greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Wrangler 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 Jeep Wrangler and the Volkswagen Taos. The Jeep Wrangler has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volkswagen Taos.
