Performance

The Taos SE’s turbocharged 1.5L engine produces 174 horsepower and an accessible 184 lb-ft of torque at low rpm, giving confident acceleration in city and highway driving. The 8-speed automatic transmission optimizes efficiency and responsiveness, while the relatively light curb weight (3,201 lbs) helps deliver nimble handling. With a 13.2-gallon fuel tank and efficient tuning, the Taos balances spirited drive dynamics and everyday economy better than many rivals.

Notable Characteristics

What sets the Taos SE apart in the compact crossover segment is its combination of a turbocharged powertrain and an 8-speed automatic at a price point where competitors often offer less sophisticated engines or fewer gears. The Taos’s roomy wheelbase and 27.9 cu ft of cargo make it an excellent choice for small families, active lifestyles, and commuters who need versatility without bulk. Standard-level technology and safety systems deliver peace of mind and convenience typically expected from higher trims.

Compare the Taos to models like the Hyundai Kona, Mazda CX-30 and Honda HR-V and you’ll find the Taos SE gives turbocharged torque and a longer gearbox range that improves passing power and highway refinement. For buyers seeking value, the Taos brings near-premium driving feel in a smart, compact package.
