This is the Volkswagen Taigo, a new SUV that’s based on the VW Polo but offers sportier SUV-inspired styling, a raised driving position and a range of new tech.
It’s a sleeker alternative to the Volkswagen T-Cross and larger T-Roc and goes up against the likes of the Ford Puma and Renault Captur. The Volkswagen Taigo gets a similar boxy front end to the dinky T-Cross and larger T-Roc SUVs, but look closer and you’ll spot more rounded-off headlights and some racier-looking trim for the bumper – especially in R-Line guise. The biggest change is obvious from the side, where the new Volkswagen Taigo gets a sporty coupe-inspired roofline. OK, it’s no Audi TT but it looks much sportier than other small crossover SUVs such as the SEAT Arona and Skoda Kamiq. You’ll have a choice of alloys ranging from 16- to 18-inches depending on your choice of trim.A similar light full-width light bar to the T-Cross comes at the back of the Volkswagen Taigo, albeit with a much more angular layout for its LED innards.
2022 Volkswagen Taigo interior and infotainment
The inside of the Volkswagen Taigo is a pretty standard affair for a small car from VW. There’s nothing outlandish going on, with a rather clean and simple design throughout. You do get digital dials displayed on an 8-inch screen as standard though. This can be upgraded to a 10.25-inch display with configurable modes allowing you to pick which info you want to be displayed in front of you.A 6.5-inch infotainment system with basic radio and smartphone capabilities is standard too, though you can have larger 8-inch or 9.2-inch units if you wish. The latter two also support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, with the full-whack adding wireless smartphone mirroring.
2022 Volkswagen Taigo engines
Three petrol engines will come at the launch of the Volkswagen Taigo. Two of these are 1.0-litre petrol units, with 95hp and 110hp respectively, but there’s also a more powerful 150hp, 1.5-litre unit available. All send power to the front wheels, with a five-speed manual gearbox standard for the 95hp car and six-speed manual offered for the 110hp and 150hp cars. You’ll have the option of a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox too.
