The Volkswagen Taigo has arrived to shake up the urban SUV segment and has all the ingredients to become a true best-seller.

It’s very likely that in recent days you haven’t stopped reading and listening to articles and podcasts about the Volkswagen Taigo, and it’s no wonder. This SUV is made in Spain and has become one of the most interesting options to buy today. So much so that we can get ahead of ourselves and predict that it will become a true best-seller. Within its wide range, we are going to look for the most balanced and interesting option so that you get the decision right and enjoy your next car to the fullest. Can you imagine a Volkswagen Taigo that is good, good-looking and cheap? It exists.

The option we are going to talk about is very well balanced, offers a very good level of technological equipment and, above all, has an unbeatable value for money. In case you don’t know yet, the Volkswagen Taigo is available with three different engines: 1.0-litre TSI with 95 CV, 1.0-litre TSI with 110 CV and a version with a 1.5-litre TSI with 150 CV block. Our recommendation is that you go for the 110 CV TSI option with the 1.0-litre engine.

Which version of the Volkswagen Taigo is the most worthwhile to buy?

The power difference between the 95 CV version can be decisive on a trip with the SUV loaded with suitcases. The transmission also matters. In this version it can be a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DSG automatic dual-clutch. Although it may seem trivial, it can be essential when it comes to reducing consumption and making the most of efficiency. The difference compared with the 95 CV option is 765 euros if you opt for the manual gearbox, but 2,100 euros if you want it with the automatic gearbox. Personally, I would go for the manual gearbox.

Regardless of the engine chosen, the Volkswagen Taigo comes equipped with a digital instrument cluster of eight inches, an information and entertainment system with a 6.5-inch screen, compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, four USB-C charging ports, adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, dual-zone air conditioning, rear and front parking sensors, four electric windows, headlights with Full LED technology and 16-inch alloy wheels, among others.

If you are looking for a car that has it all: good load capacity, good responsiveness, an attractive design and noticeable build quality, we recommend that you opt for the Volkswagen Taigo with the 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine producing 110 CV. Of course, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. Its starting price, without promotions or discounts, begins at 25,440 euros.

It should be mentioned that the Volkswagen Taigo will have to face strong rivals such as the Renault Arkana, the Opel Mokka or even the Citroën C4.
