CardinaleWay Volkswagen Corona - Is IQ.DRIVE® Standard on the 2025 Volkswagen Taos for Daily Driving in Corona, CA?
The 2025 Volkswagen Taos brings IQ.DRIVE® driver assistance technology to your daily drive, and CardinaleWay Volkswagen Corona is here to help you experience how it works in real Corona, CA traffic. From the 91 to the 15, IQ.DRIVE® is designed to add confidence with hands-on, semi-automated capability, while the redesigned Taos layers on more power for 2025, intuitive tech, and the compact SUV versatility drivers appreciate around the Inland Empire.
IQ.DRIVE® is a collection of safety-enhancing systems that can help look out ahead, to the sides, and behind as you navigate commutes, school drop-offs, and weekend getaways. It works alongside the Taos driver, and while you must always remain attentive and in control, IQ.DRIVE® can assist in common scenarios like stop-and-go backups near Green River or lane guidance along long stretches toward Riverside. Pair that tech with the Taos increase in horsepower for 2025, an EPA-estimated 28 city/36 highway mpg, and available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive, and you have a compact SUV built to make local life easier.
Here is how IQ.DRIVE® support shows up in everyday Corona driving, explained in plain terms so you can picture it on your route.
- Front Assist with Pedestrian Monitoring: Can help warn of potential frontal collisions and can apply braking support within system limits
- Lane Assist: Can help keep the Taos centered by providing steering support when lane markings are detected
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop and Go: Can help maintain a set following distance in traffic and can bring the vehicle to a stop, then resume within system limits
- Travel Assist: Can help combine steering and ACC support on well-marked roads for hands-on, semi-automated driving within system limits
- Blind Spot Monitoring: Can help keep tabs on vehicles in your blind spots during lane changes
- Rear Traffic Alert: Can help warn of cross traffic while backing out of parking spaces
- Emergency Assist: Can help bring the vehicle to a stop if it detects prolonged driver inactivity within system limits
Because availability can vary by trim and options, our team will walk you through the exact IQ.DRIVE® features on the Taos you select and demonstrate how each system behaves on a test loop near our Wardlow Rd location. We find that a hands-on demo makes the tech feel second nature.
