Performance

A smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission helps optimize responsiveness and efficiency.

AWD Taos models also include an upgraded multilink rear suspension and a sporty seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

It also provides great functionality, with standard roof rails and LED exterior lighting. Available exterior upgrades include heated mirrors, proximity entry, steering-responsive headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and a stylish illuminated grille bar.
Inside, the Taos is cozy and accommodating, with modern design details, comfortable, supportive seats, and ample headroom and legroom for all passengers. With all seats occupied, the Taos reserves 28 cubic feet behind the second row to carry your gear or groceries. When you need more room for your Stamford errands or outings, you can fold the rear seats for 66 cubic feet.
