Volkswagen Taigo (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Top-spec engine impresses	Some interior quality issues
Generous standard equipment levels	Expensive compared with more practical T-Cross
Spacious, with a particularly large boot	Not that much fun to drive

Quick Summary

The Volkswagen Taigo is a coupe-style small SUV that offers striking looks and a practical interior. Based on the familiar VW Polo platform, it sits between the T-Cross and T-Roc in VW's line-up. It provides more rear passenger space than key rivals and a generous 440-litre boot. Engine choices include frugal 1.0-litre petrols and a more powerful 1.5-litre unit. While the Taigo delivers a comfortable and smooth ride, it lacks the engaging driving dynamics of competitors like the Ford Puma, feeling competent but uninspiring on twisty roads.

Despite its premium pricing, the Taigo's interior features some cheaper-feeling plastics that detract from the overall feel. However, it is generously equipped from the entry-level model up, featuring an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless phone charging, and adaptive cruise control as standard. Running costs are reasonable, particularly with the smaller engines, and strong predicted resale values should make for attractive finance deals. It's a stylish and spacious option, but one that feels expensive compared to its more practical T-Cross sibling.

Best for: Buyers prioritising style, a comfortable ride, and generous standard equipment in a practical small SUV package.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking a fun and engaging experience, those on a tighter budget, or anyone expecting a consistently premium-quality VW interior.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Taigo if: You want a stylish, comfortable, and well-equipped small SUV with the appeal of a VW badge and don't mind paying a premium for its coupe-like design.

Consider alternatives if: A fun driving experience is a top priority, or if you're looking for better value for money in the segment, as the interior quality doesn't always match the price tag.

Competitive Position: The Volkswagen Taigo (2021-present) carves out a niche as a stylish coupe-SUV. It's spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, but it's also expensive and less fun to drive than the class-leading Ford Puma. While it carries the desirable VW badge, its interior quality isn't a significant step up from its cheaper siblings, making it a car that appeals more on style than on substance or value.
