Urban driving in Montreal presents unique challenges. Narrow streets in Old Montreal, busy downtown intersections, tight parking spaces, and the need to see over traffic all factor into choosing your next vehicle. The 2025 Taos addresses these city driving realities with thoughtful design choices.
At 4,467 mm long and 2,097 mm wide, the Taos provides an elevated driving position without being oversized for city streets. This compact SUV sits at 1,638 mm tall (FWD models), giving you better visibility while remaining easy to park in standard spaces or underground garages.
Size That Makes Sense for City Living
The Taos strikes a practical balance between interior space and urban maneuverability. Its 2,689 mm wheelbase (FWD) maximizes cabin room while keeping the overall footprint manageable for Montreal's varied street layouts.
Whether you're navigating the narrow streets around McGill University or finding parking near the Bell Centre, the Taos dimensions work in your favour. The elevated seating position helps you spot traffic patterns early and see around larger vehicles during rush hour.
Advanced Safety Features for Urban Environments
City driving demands constant attention to pedestrians, cyclists, and changing traffic conditions. The 2025 Taos includes several systems designed for urban scenarios:
Technology That Simplifies City Driving
The 8-inch floating infotainment display provides clear navigation without overwhelming the dashboard. Wireless App-Connect means your phone connects automatically when you get in, keeping your hands free for driving.
The available satellite navigation system helps you find alternate routes during construction season or when events close downtown streets. Voice control lets you change destinations or call contacts without taking your hands off the wheel.
Standard features include:
Practical Cargo Solutions
Urban living often means carrying various items – groceries, work equipment, sports gear, or weekend purchases. The Taos provides 1,866 litres of cargo space with the rear seats folded, while the 60/40 split-folding design lets you carry both passengers and longer items when needed.
The power tailgate (available on higher trims) makes loading easier in tight parking situations where you can't fully open a manual tailgate.
Engine Performance for City Traffic
The 1.5 TSI turbocharged engine produces 174 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, providing adequate power for city driving without compromising fuel economy. The 8-speed automatic transmission (on 4MOTION models) delivers smooth shifts during frequent stops and starts.
Combined fuel consumption is rated at 7.4 L/100 km, making daily commuting more affordable while reducing trips to gas stations.
