Volkswagen Taigo

Volkswagen has announced that it will soon introduce the Taigo crossover. Volkswagen has created seven crossovers for Europe ID.4, T-Roc, T-Roc Cabriolet, T-Cross, Tiguan, Tiguan Allspace and Touareg.

It is a vehicle, very similar to the Nivus model that was presented for the Brazilian and Argentine markets last year. Compared to the Nivus, the Taigo has a more modern front grille with sophisticated headlights and an LED line that connects the headlights. There’s also a slightly different front bumper and top radiator grille with a hexagonal pattern.

The Taigo SUV will be powered by TSI gasoline turbocharged engines. TDI units are not listed in the press release. The SUV for the Brazilian market is powered by a 1.0-liter turbocharged TSI engine with 128 hp. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

The European Taigo model will be produced in Panplona, Spain.
