What the Volkswagen Taos sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the Taos, latest tested year 2026:
The label also prints an estimated $2,000 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 304 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the Taos under Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the Taos's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2022 to 2026. Worth checking before you compare a Taos sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
Safety ratings printed on the label
The second required block: NHTSA's five-star crash results. This is what the Taos sticker carries as of its 2026 rating:
Stars are awarded per test, so a car can hold five overall and fewer for rollover — tall vehicles usually give ground there. Compare against every rated model in the safest cars ranking.

Where to find the VIN on a Volkswagen Taos
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every Taos, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Volkswagen Taos all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Volkswagen Taos whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
