Great pricing on the lower end but higher up the range it's within $200 of a similar trim Tiguan.

Yeah the price starts to add up really quickly. The S or SE seem to be the way to go. Though with how similar the Taos and Tiguan are for size it does make sense that on the high end they're close in price.

 

[TaosTime]

I found some information for the Canadian pricing is anyone is interested.

Trendline - $26,685
Comfortline - $32,395
Highline - $36,695

Here's a breakdown of pricing for a Trendline

 

[PLAT]

Amazing how prices have gone up since my last VW product, a 2011 VW GTI. I remember purchasing it for around CAN $34k. Now, a base model Trendline costs almost as much as a brand new 2011 GTI top of the line model. In defence of the TAOS, it does come with a ton of driving assitance tools compared to the '11 MK6 GTI.

Not only the extra tech but also the premium that comes with any truck/SUV, even the compact ones.

I forgot that the Taos Trendline in Canada is sold as AWD if one picks the 8-spd DSG tranny option. That adds a chunk of coin to the price. Plus the added sheet metal used to build the larger body.

So, knock 10% off MSRP, at least? VW is competing with itself when pricing is that close to a Tiguan. I’d go for the Taos because of the DSG Trans in the 4Motion. And, I don’t need something the size of the Tiguan. I almost bought a 2020 Tiguan SE last November. Dealer was playing games so, I walked out. Then I read about the Taos, and decided to wait.

Whenever I buy a brand new car, I start negotiations on invoice price or lower if you know the dealer is selling below invoice. Most manufacturers offer the dealer incentives on the invoice price so you have to make sure you take advantage of this or, at least, part of it. Negotiate from the lowest reasonable starting price and give yourself a price ceiling of what you are willing to pay for it. If the dealer is playing games on you, walk out the door and go to the next VW dealership.

Like you, I find the Tiguan too big of a compact SUV. The Taos fits the bill quite nicely in terms of style (conservative and clean, quintessential) and size.

I wish they would negotiate with the current auto shortages the dealer wasn’t really interested in negotiating.

 

[CanadaTaos]

I should be embarrassed by how little I negotiated off the price for my Canadian fully optioned Highline but it was the first and only one in my part of the country and I didn’t want to risk waiting months. I did check with other dealers within 200 miles and they didn’t have a Highline. I wanted the vehicle and paid the price! No regrets.

 

[New to VW]

Like I mentioned in a post. I practically paid msrp for the first time in my life, the current shortage allow the dealers to almost dictate the price. I did get to dollar for my trade though. Enjoy your purchase.

 

[CRVW]

Haha, me too! I put a deposit on one that was on the way. Damn near sticker price.
But, I got more trading in my 2017 Tiguan than the wife did for the same model a few months earlier on an Audi Q3. 3K more to be precise.
Add to that I paid 4K less than she did for the Tiguan (both new) and I wasn't complaining.

 

[PsycoCavr]

I used the Costco Buying service and bought my Cornflower Blue SEL AWD and they gave me $2300 off the list price. They were very adamant that they wee not discounting the price for any other reason.
Of course we only put down a $500 deposit .. until they get the Start stop issue fixed.

Good deal, might have to try that next time. That’s more than what I got but I did get the se. Lower trims usually get less discounts

 

[blnewto]

Just paid a few hundred under MSRP. first time I've bought a new car in 35 yrs that I was actually willing to pay close to MSRP. Dealers in a reasonable range were sticking stupid "availablilty" upcharges on most everything so finding a dealer that wasn't playing these games was a rarity. Plus our new SE FWD had every option we wanted (black wheels, sunroof, IQ, and cargo pkg and in the color we wanted, so it;s all good!

Sooo Update...
When we finally arrived to buy the TAOS (original date August, buying date October) they cut the Costco buying price to $1500 (said it was a month to month discount) AND
you HAVE to take VW financing to get the discount.
