Taigo

Trendy and typically Volkswagen.
With the compact Taigo, Volkswagen launched its first SUV coupé in the small car segment on the European market in 2021. It has a fresh design, a modern and digital cockpit, and also offers groundbreaking connectivity. The Taigo comes as standard with the lane keeping system Lane Assist. Autonomous Emergency Braking Front Assist is also always on board as standard. Other assist systems are optionally available. The Taigo leaves the production line with three- and four-cylinder engines, and power is transferred to the front wheels by a 6-speed gearbox or optionally a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. The running gear has the balanced and sporty characteristics typical for Volkswagen.

    All-new Taigo available in dealerships now

    With the launch of the Taigo, a totally new model arrives in Volkswagen showrooms – with a sloping roof like a coupé and a slightly elevated seating position. However, its modern character is not only reflected in the elegant shape of its body, but also in the many intelligent comfort, operating and assist systems. On request, the small car can be upgraded with a black roof, large tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof, and technological features like IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist for partly automated driving. The entry price for the all-new Taigo (with 1.0 TSI engine, 70 kW/95 PS, 5-speed) is € 19,350.

    The new Taigo makes its European debut

    The stage is set for a new body shape from the Volkswagen brand: With the new compact crossover Taigo, Volkswagen is launching an SUV coupé on the European market for the first time. The front-wheel drive Taigo is a real crowd-pleaser with its trendy crossover body style, raised seating positions, pioneering connectivity and unrestricted suitability for everyday use. The rear of the five-seater car slopes backwards in the style of a coupé, without restricting headroom in the back seat. This sees Volkswagen expand the portfolio of the compact Polo (hatchback) and T-Cross (SUV) models built on the MQB platform with a third chassis variant, which has previously been primarily reserved for high-end models. Numerous latest-generation assistance systems guarantee optimum comfort and a high level of safety for all passengers. The Taigo is set to make its virtual European debut on Thursday 29 July at 8:00 a.m. CEST.
