What is the Volkswagen Taigo?

The Taigo is a compact crossover with a raised seating position and a roof that slopes towards the rear. Volkswagen introduced it in Europe as a third body style alongside the Polo hatchback and T-Cross SUV, giving its small-car range a more coupe-like shape. Its compact format and everyday layout suit drivers who want a higher view of the road in a small car.

The Taigo was Volkswagen’s first SUV coupe in this class. It is based on the MQB platform, in its compact MQB A0 form, and arrived with a digital cockpit and modern infotainment. Those features brought a connected, screen-led cabin to Volkswagen’s small crossover range.
