The new Taigo - European premiere

Volkswagen Taigo

The new Taigo: digital, connected, compact – the first SUV coupé by Volkswagen

The highlights at a glance

  • Emotional lifestyle model in the small car segment
    With its unique SUV coupé body, individual design highlights (e.g. Roof Pack, Design Package, Black Style Package, LED light strip) and wide range of finishes, colours and equipment options, the new Taigo sets the benchmark for SUVs in the small car segment. In doing so, it completes Volkswagen’s current product portfolio in the A0 segment and taps into additional customer groups.
  • High level of everyday usability and comfort
    The new Taigo is the entry-level SUV class model with a raised seating position, an elevated view from the cockpit and plenty of space at the rear. Variability and clever everyday solutions combined with an ample luggage compartment make for a high level of comfort.
  • Fully digital and “always on”
    The new Taigo comes with numerous digital features such as Wireless Charging and App Connect, the launch of the MIB3 Infotainment system and a digital cockpit, as well as functions on demand and We services.
  • New and simpler range of versions
  • The new Taigo is offered with a new range of versions featuring its own distinctive R-Line with virtually no overlap between options and packages.
  • Technologies from higher classes
    Thanks to the MQB, the new Taigo sets the benchmark when it comes to safety and driving comfort: IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist with Lane Assist and pACC, Front Assist, Side Assist and IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights with Dynamic Light Assist are otherwise only associated with higher vehicle classes.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
