2024 Volkswagen Taos vs. Mitsubishi Outlander

There are many SUVs to pick from if you’re shopping for a roomy new vehicle, but not all of them are created equal. One model we love here at Casey Volkswagen is the 2024 Volkswagen Taos, because we think that this stylish SUV has a lot to offer over competing models like the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander. Let’s see how these two models stack up against each other in some key areas.

Efficient Power

The Mitsubishi Outlander has more horsepower than the Volkswagen Taos, but the Volkswagen crossover has a higher torque output. Furthermore, the Mitsubishi model’s figures come at a cost; its maximum EPA-estimated range is 370 miles, compared to an EPA-estimated 464-mile range for the 2024 Volkswagen Taos.

Cabin Design

These are both compact SUVs, and they don’t look that different size-wise inside or out. However, some minor design choices make a significant difference. The Mitsubishi Outlander adds a cramped third row versus the more spacious two-row layout in the Volkswagen Taos. This is also reflected in their respective cargo volumes: up to 65.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo space in the VW SUV compared to 64.3 cubic feet in the Mitsubishi model.

Tech and Comfort Features

If you’re looking for tech and luxury features, the 2024 Volkswagen Taos might be more attractive. A Blind Spot System is standard on the Volkswagen model and an extra on the Mitsubishi Outlander. The VW model also offers features and options not found on the Mitsubishi SUV, like Adaptive Cruise Control, a Wi-Fi® hotspot, ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and SiriusXM® satellite radio.
