        How this compares

        2023 Volkswagen Taos102
        Median 2023 model here (63 vehicles)152
        Median 2023 SUV here (40)163

        102 complaints is 1.5 times fewer than the median 2023 model on this site and 1.6 times fewer than the median 2023 SUV. Among the 2 Taos model years here it ranks 2nd for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
