Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Volkswagen Taos than in the Volvo XC40.
The Volkswagen Taos will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volvo XC40.
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 Volkswagen Taos is a better financial choice over the Volvo XC40, when considering MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the Volkswagen Taos is much slimmer than the Volvo XC40, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.
When looking at overall length, the Volkswagen Taos takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volvo XC40.
Handling
The Volkswagen Taos has the same turning radius as the Volvo XC40, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The Volkswagen Taos has a little less horsepower than the Volvo XC40.
Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Volkswagen Taos doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Volvo XC40.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Volkswagen Taos and the Volvo XC40.
The Volkswagen Taos has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volvo XC40.
