Volkswagen Taigo Review 2025, Price & Specs
Both manual boxes are light and easy to use, with an equally light and long travel clutch pedal that encourages you to drive in a relaxed manner. The optional seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox (standard on the 1.5 TSI 150) changes gear smoothly enough, but we’d stick with the six-speed manual, due to it often being hesitant to change gears.“While it's not good for agility, the steering's fairly slow rate of response helps the Taigo feel relaxing when cruising at speed. If I had a long motorway commute, I'd definitely consider one.” – Doug Revolta, Head of VideoWhen you climb inside the VW Taigo, you’ll find it easy to get comfy. All trim levels come with plenty of driver's seat adjustment, and you can move the steering wheel up, down, in and out. There’s some lumbar support but not a lot, and adjustable lumbar support is not available. Fans of tall, SUV driving positions might not be satisfied by the Taigo’s relatively low driving position. You sit up higher than you do in most small cars, but you sit lower than you do in the VW T-Cross and VW T-Roc. The interior is laid out in a sensible way, with all the relevant buttons and knobs stationed exactly where you’d expect, so you’ll quickly feel at home. What’s more, if you stick with Life or Match trim, you get physical air-con controls, which are easier to use when you're driving than the touch-sensitive ones that you get with the highest trim levels.
