The new Volkswagen Taigo was born as a compact crossover with a dynamic and sporty touch, transverse engine and front-wheel drive.

The central German brand of its group has just launched its new Volkswagen Taigo model (2022) in the compact SUV coupé format, which is currently so fashionable, adding the model to its already existing SUV offer ( T-Cross and R-Roc). Know more about Plymouth ne shitje.

For its design, it has been based on the Volkswagen Nivus that is marketed exclusively in Brazil , thus creating a new model for Europe within the current trend to “Coupetize” SUVs.

Its dimensions are very similar to those of its brothers Polo and T-Cross, with which it also shares many parts, which has allowed its production to be located in the factory in Landaben (Navarra), so that it becomes the third Volkswagen “Made in Spain” .

Due to its sloping rear window, the tailgate goes down quite a bit, which translates into a trunk with a somewhat smaller capacity than that of its SUV T-Cross brother (470 litres). At the same time, it is somewhat lower and longer, but with the same ground clearance of 18.5 cm , generating greater width and height inside (more than a meter free to the ceiling in front and almost 95 cm behind).

A classic exterior design

It is quite an attractive design, very effectively combining the tourism line with a crossover DNA , although quite sober and very balanced.

The front bumper clearly highlights its width while the side view l with large wheel arches and a not very high waist, quite a dynamic image. Thanks to its enlarged roof deflector compared to the T-Cross, it gives it a more dynamic, functional and aerodynamic appearance.

At the rear there are some newly designed optical groups that are divided between the tailgate and wings, very horizontal and that are joined by a light strip that helps to accentuate its width, always reinforcing its global dynamism.

The tailgate was designed by Marco Pavone (Volkswagen’s head of exterior design), adding steeply raked rear C-pillars that are the actual mechanism.

that generates its SUV coupé line with its 5 doors, achieving, despite everything, a more than remarkable amplitude.

Its new wheels from 16” to 18” (optional) also collaborate in its dynamic design, also offering a range of 8 body colors, which can be combined with the black roof if you access what the brand has called “ Roof Pack ” . .
