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.
