The first units of the Volkswagen Taigo will be retailed  in the first half of this year, joining the T-Cross and T-Roc as Volkswagen’s trio of compact SUVs in the A0 SUV segment. The Taigo derives its name from a combination of ‘tiger’ and ‘Taiga’, which is a forest in the Northern Hemisphere.

Symbolising strength, outdoors and adventure, Taigo’s name starts with the letter ‘T’ and follows Volkswagen’s naming convention for its SUVs in South Africa.
