The new model is based on the VW Group’s MQB AO platform, which underpins the T-Cross, Skoda Kamiq, VW Polo, Nivus and the Virtus. In fact, the localised version of this platform, called the MQB AO IN, underpins the VW Taigun & the Skoda Kushaq.

This engine is paired to a 6-speed automatic gearbox as standard.

The Taigo is expected to share the features with the Nivus. It will get LED headlamps, LED DRLs and LED flashlights as standard. The Coupe-SUV will get 17-inch wheels, 10.25-inch digital instrument console and a new 10-inch VW Play Multimedia. The infotainment system has 10 GB of internal HD and is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, reverse camera, as well as internet and Wi-Fi connection via smartphone.
