Volkswagen Taigo Cars
The Volkswagen Taigo is the newest addition to Volkswagen's SUV lineup. This sleek and sporty compact SUV is built on the same platform as the Volkswagen Polo, but with a higher driving position and more cargo space. The Taigo offers style, practicality and affordability for young families or adventurous singles in Australia.
Under the hood, there are two engine options available in Australia - a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine or a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a power output of 70kW and 110 kW respectively. Both engines come paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that delivers quick and seamless gear changes. While the smaller engine may feel underpowered on hills or with passengers on board, it delivers great fuel economy numbers making it perfect for city driving conditions.
One thing that stands out about the Taigo is its handling ability thanks to its agile suspension setup that offers superb ride quality over rough terrain like potholes, speed bumps and corrugations while still being nimble enough for some light off-roading.
Inside, the Taigo boasts Volkswagen's intuitive infotainment system which includes features like Bluetooth connectivity, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay integration and an easy-to-use touch screen display that makes accessing all your favourite apps seamless while keeping your hands firmly on the steering wheel.
Safety-wise, this SUV comes with standard features like rear-view camera, blind-spot monitoring system and automatic emergency braking while more advanced driver-assist technologies are reserved for higher-spec models.
Overall, the Volkswagen Taigo is an excellent entry-level compact SUV offering comfort, style, performance and value to customers who desire flexibility without breaking their bank balance. It should suit Australian drivers very well indeed!
