VW Taigo
The VW Taigo is a compact SUV with a sporty coupé silhouette. This model was developed specifically for city drivers who are looking for a small car that is both practical and has a higher seating position. The Taigo scores with its modern design and the advanced technology integrated into the vehicle. So although it is the smallest SUV from VW, the infotainment is really impressive.
It is also quite economical for a petrol car and its compact size makes it ideal for the city - you can park it almost anywhere. Disadvantages are the limited rear visibility due to the coupé design and the slightly smaller boot compared to other SUVs.

VW T-Cross
The VW T-Cross is a versatile, compact SUV, ideal for city driving. In terms of size, the T-Cross is actually a Polo, just on stilts. It offers more interior space than the Taigo and has a high seating position for better visibility.
Its strengths include the flexible interior design and the advanced safety functions. One disadvantage is the motorisation: as it is heavier than the Taigo, but has a higher weight, the engine is sometimes a little overpowered. The interior material could also be of a slightly higher quality.

VW T-Roc

It impresses with its customisable design and a good selection of engines. It also offers advanced infotainment and connectivity functions as well as balanced driving performance.
The T-Roc is also available as a convertible if a little more drama is required. Disadvantages are the limited space in the rear and the higher cost of the top trim levels.

VW Tiguan
The VW Tiguan is a versatile mid-size SUV that is ideal for medium-sized families. It offers plenty of space, comfort and advanced technology. Its strengths are its spacious interior, flexible seating options and powerful engine performance. The Tiguan is more of a classic SUV compared to the smaller VW variants and is best compared to the Passat or Touran.
If you need even more space, there is the "Allspace" variant, which is slightly longer than the standard version. One disadvantage is the higher price compared to some competitors - for the same performance, Skodas or Japanese and Korean brands would also be available at a lower price. As the Tiguan is considerably heavier than its rivals and siblings, its fuel consumption is unfortunately also higher. Due to its size, it is also not quite as easy to park as the smaller models.
Engine options: 1.5 TSI petrol, 2.0 TSI petrol, 2.0 TDI diesel
Range in KM: approx. 7.8l/100km
CO2 rating: approx. 130-180 g/km
