Volkswagen SUV Fuel Economy

Volkswagen SUV models are well-known for their power, performance, and quality, the lineup well-equipped to take on nearly any Omaha adventure. But, with the way gas prices fluctuate, many Kearney drivers are wondering: What are the Volkswagen SUV fuel economy ratings? The good news is that the VW SUV lineup has a wide range of models to choose from, all with the fuel efficiency and power you need for your daily drives. Learn more about the different Volkswagen SUV mpg ratings and see which one fits your lifestyle best with Schworer Volkswagen!

2023 VW SUV MPG Ratings

There are five different Volkswagen SUV models to choose from, all with varying engines, drivetrains, and capabilities. The biggest difference in fuel economy will come from the size of the vehicle and the drivetrain. Smaller vehicles take less power to move, leading to greater fuel efficiency, and the difference between front-wheel drive and the Volkswagen 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system will lead to slight differences in mpg ratings. See all the details for each VW SUV mpg ratings below.

2023 Volkswagen Taos

The Volkswagen Taos is a subcompact SUV, perfect for those who need a little extra space and a little more fun in their Bellevue commutes. It is also one of the most fuel-efficient traditional gas-powered VW SUVs in the lineup!
