Volkswagen expanded its SUV model range with the introduction of the Taigo, a compact SUV coupé, which will join the T SUV model range during the first half of this year.
The Taigo will join the T-Cross and T-Roc as Volkswagen’s trio of compact SUVs in the A0 SUV segment. By the end of 2022, Volkswagen’s T SUV range will consist of seven models namely the T-Cross, Taigo, T-Roc, Tiguan, Tiguan Allspace, Tiguan R (launching in the local market in the third quarter of 2022) and Touareg.
The new Volkswagen Taigo boasts a trendy crossover body style, raised seating position and pioneering connectivity. Although the body style resembles that of a coupé, is has four doors.
Numerous driver assistance systems guarantee comfort and a high level of safety for all passengers. With full LED headlights, a digital cockpit and the latest generation of infotainment systems, the Taigo sets high technology standards in its class.
The Taigo will be offered with Volkswagen’s popular tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof.
The Volkswagen Taigo will only be available with the 1.0 TSI 85 kW DSG® engine and the price will be made available later.
Volkswagen has added two new derivatives to its T-Cross line-up for the 2025 model year. The T-Cross has been the best-selling Volkswagen SUV with over 36 000 cars sold since its launch in 2019.
Volkswagen found a gap in it SUV line-up between the range-topping Touareg and the Tiguan and will fill it with its new Tayron set to arrive locally in the second half of 2025 when pricing and engine specifications will be announced. The Tayron will launch with two equipment lines - Life and R-Line.
If you think Golf in South Africa, you think GTI or even the quicker Golf R. Volkswagen, however, has just introduced a new entry-level Golf consisting of four models slotting in below its twin performance siblings.
