Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Taos than in the Honda HR-V, due to its greater head- and legroom.
As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Honda HR-V and the Volkswagen Taos.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda HR-V as you will with the Volkswagen Taos, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
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). When looking only at MSRP, the Honda HR-V will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen Taos.
Dimensions
The Honda HR-V is about the same width as the Volkswagen Taos.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Honda HR-V, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Taos.
Handling
The Honda HR-V has the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Taos, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Honda HR-V and the Volkswagen Taos.
Powertrain
The Honda HR-V 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 Honda HR-V and the Volkswagen Taos.
The Honda HR-V has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Taos, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
