Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2022 Taos is a completely new model in VW showrooms. Leading up to its official reveal, we learned about its engine specs and size details as well as its handsome design and available features.

Pros
Huge back seat for its subcompact designation,
generous cargo storage,
really good fuel-economy figures.

Cons
Acceleration isn't as spunky as some rivals,
some chintzy cabin materials,
maladroit dual-clutch automatic.

Some cheap cabin materials
Unrefined transmissions

Jeep's smallest SUV, the Renegade, is no less cute for 2019—but now it has more to offer thanks to a comprehensive update that brings refreshed looks, a new turbocharged engine, and several added features. After seeing a preview of the updated model earlier this year, we now have full info on the 2019 Jeep Renegade lineup, which will go on sale in the U.S. by the end of this year.

Pros
Solid off-road capability,
toy-truck styling,
available manual transmission.

Cons
Slower than a three-legged turtle,
poor fuel efficiency,
lacks storage.
