Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Taos than in the Hyundai Venue, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Volkswagen Taos offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Venue, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
With the Volkswagen Taos, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Venue, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Hyundai Venue is a better financial choice over the Volkswagen Taos, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Venue is much slimmer than the Volkswagen Taos, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Hyundai Venue, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Volkswagen Taos.

Handling
The Hyundai Venue has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Volkswagen Taos, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai Venue has a lot less horsepower than the Volkswagen Taos.

Powertrain
The Hyundai Venue has much lower torque than the Volkswagen Taos, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Venue and the Volkswagen Taos. The Hyundai Venue has significantly less cargo capacity than the Volkswagen Taos.
