There’s no shortage of supermini-sized SUVs on offer in the market at present, and now, there’s one more. The new Volkswagen Taigo shares much with the company’s other umpteen small SUVs, including the T-Cross and T-Roc, only this time, it has a sleeker coupe-like roofline to dial up the sexiness.
The question is, style aside, how does the Taigo perform? Rebecca Jackson finds out in this CarGurus UK video review, as she assesses the car on performance, handling, technology, quality, practicality and more.

0.24 -> this then is the umpteenth suv to join
2.8 -> the volkswagen range it's a super mini
5.12 -> sized suv has coupe styling it's front
8 -> wheel drive only and so it's off-roader
10.639 -> looks are really only skinny
16.85 -> [Music]
22.56 -> it's a little bit longer than a polo a
25.119 -> little bit wider than a polo a little
26.96 -> bit taller than a polo but if you said
29.119 -> it was basically polo sized you wouldn't
31.279 -> be far wrong it's also got a lot in
33.28 -> common with the dinky boxy small suv t
36.399 -> cross but because of the sweeping
39.28 -> swooping coupe styling volkswagen feels
42.399 -> it can charge a little bit more for the
44.559 -> tiger
45.92 -> the tiger is also not technically a
48 -> totally new car as it's really a light
50.64 -> redesign of the brazilian developed
52.64 -> volkswagen nevus that was launched in
54.559 -> 2020
56.16 -> under the skin this car also uses the
58.16 -> same mechanical bits as the polo which
60 -> means there's a pair of three cylinder
61.6 -> turbocharged one liter engines to choose
63.6 -> from with either 95 or 110 horsepower a
67.28 -> 5-speed manual 6-speed manual or 7-speed
70 -> twin clutch automatic gearbox this car
72.72 -> though is the top spec 1.5 r line and it
75.68 -> gets a 150 horsepower four-cylinder
79.04 -> turbocharged petrol engine and you can't
81.92 -> get that engine in the polo range and it
84.32 -> represents the top of the range for the
86.799 -> tiger volkswagen want to entice you away
91.119 -> from their very very popular ford puma
93.68 -> question is can it do it things start
96.64 -> off well for the tiger in the boot it
98.72 -> makes the most of its extra length over
100.479 -> the polo with a useful 440 litre load
103.2 -> capacity it's not quite up there with
105.119 -> the puma but it's only a few liters
107.04 -> short
109.119 -> thanks to a roof line that doesn't
110.56 -> plunge too dramatically there's actually
112.56 -> quite a bit of space back here for a low
114.399 -> slung car the headroom is almost as much
117.119 -> as you get out front and leg room and
119.84 -> knee room is also quite plentiful
122.399 -> if you regularly carry rear passengers
124.399 -> it's a better bet than the more cramped
126.159 -> puma if you poke around the cabin
127.84 -> however you will find plenty of hard
130.479 -> scratchy materials
132.64 -> which we can forgive in a polo because
134.8 -> that's about 3 000 pounds cheaper than
136.48 -> this car we can even forgive it in the
138.319 -> t-cross because that's about a thousand
140.239 -> pounds cheaper than this car but the
142.48 -> tiger and being top of the range is
145.04 -> about 29 000 pounds so
147.84 -> not really forgivable in this car
150 -> aside from the disappointing sense of
151.68 -> build quality the tigers cabin is
153.44 -> otherwise very impressive the seats are
155.44 -> comfortable and supportive the driving
157.04 -> position offers a broad range of
158.4 -> adjustment and the cabin layout is
160.16 -> sensible ah yes sensible layouts
163.12 -> fortunately the tiger manages to avoid
165.84 -> the touchpad only setup which is so
168.48 -> infuriating to use in the latest golf
170.8 -> and id electric volkswagens that means
174.319 -> you get physical buttons on the steering
176.16 -> wheel which we love and a knob here to
179.519 -> adjust the stereo volume what is
182.08 -> annoying though are these touch
183.599 -> sensitive pads down here to adjust the
186.319 -> climate control and heated seats and
189.12 -> talking of buttons and switches the tygo
191.28 -> is very well equipped true this is the
193.36 -> top spec r-line model so you get
195.28 -> wireless phone charging dual zone
196.959 -> climate control built-in sat-nav and
199.12 -> various other goodies but even the most
201.12 -> basic cars get the same 8-inch
203.12 -> touchscreen adaptive cruise control and
205.28 -> automatic led headlights
208.84 -> [Music]
216.65 -> [Applause]
218 -> out on the road this version of the
219.92 -> tiger impresses immediately and i say
222.959 -> this version because the 1.5 litre
225.76 -> turbocharged motor fitted to this one is
228.959 -> such a sweet smooth free revving engine
232.799 -> and that combined with the seven speed
234.72 -> automatic gearbox makes it genuinely
237.68 -> quite quick it goes from naught to 62 in
240.72 -> 8.3 seconds and no matter what gear or
243.84 -> what speed you're doing it feels lively
247.76 -> cars with the three-cylinder engines
249.439 -> will likely have less luck we're yet to
251.84 -> try them in the tigo but we know they're
254.319 -> a bit thrashy and noisy in the polo so
256.479 -> don't expect them to be any better here
258.88 -> they will be more economical than this
260.639 -> 1.5 though official fuel economy for
263.68 -> this engine is 46.3 miles per gallon
267.36 -> i managed to get over 40 on a long
269.44 -> journey realistically it's in the mid
272.56 -> 30s with a mix of driving the three
274.96 -> cylinders however you'll be able to get
276.72 -> closer to 50 miles per gallon
278.72 -> whatever engine your tiger has it should
281.04 -> be comfortable even on these large
282.88 -> 17-inch alloy wheels it rides smoothly
285.36 -> cushioning you well from lumps and bumps
287.52 -> the rear suspension can shutter through
289.52 -> particularly challenging potholes but
291.36 -> overall this is a car that rides pretty
293.52 -> well it's not that much fun on a twisty
295.6 -> road though the light steering means you
298 -> don't get that much feedback so you
300 -> don't really know what the car's nose is
302 -> doing
302.88 -> and that doesn't exactly inspire
304.96 -> confidence in it here a ford puma will
308 -> put a much bigger smile on your face why
310.96 -> not check out our ford puma comparison
313.36 -> video after watching this one
315.919 -> in the real world though away from
317.919 -> unrealistic fantasies of empty country
320.24 -> roads the taigo is a competent
322.56 -> comfortable and easy going companion a
325.12 -> typical volkswagen really
330.16 -> so what do you think of it is it a
332.24 -> worthwhile addition to the seemingly
334.479 -> endless ranks of small crossover suvs
338.08 -> maybe if you want a spacious comfortable
340.4 -> car with striking looks and the
342.32 -> undoubted appeal of the volkswagen badge
344.8 -> however it is quite expensive not as fun
347.919 -> to drive as a ford puma and the interior
350.32 -> quality isn't quite up to scratch
352.72 -> to be perfectly honest our money would
354.639 -> still go and afford puma especially when
356.96 -> you consider that the brilliant high
358.4 -> performance st model is about the same
361.28 -> price as this top spec tiger tell us
364.16 -> your views on the volkswagen tiger in
365.919 -> the comments below and if you're
367.12 -> considering buying one or indeed any car
369.44 -> head to cargurus.com uk to find loads of
372.479 -> great deals from top rated dealers
374.4 -> including approved used examples
379.28 -> [Music]
