Volkswagen is updating its Taigo coupe-SUV, known as the Nivus in South and Central America. A test model was recently spotted with camouflage, hinting at changes to the front and rear design.
How Taigo Compares to the T-Cross
The Taigo is a sportier version of the T-Cross, offering a sleeker design. However, compared to rivals like the Ford Puma, it has often been called plain. This update aims to give it a more stylish appeal.
Volkswagen's Taigo/Nivus Design
Spy shots suggest minor changes to the Taigo’s design:
✔️ Slimmer grille for a modern look
✔️ New LED headlights for a fresh appearance
✔️ Updated taillights for a premium touch
The facelifted Nivus already received a slimmer grille last year, so the Taigo is expected to follow the same design update.
Volkswagen's Taigo/Nivus Interior
Although we haven’t seen the interior yet, big changes are unlikely. The current cabin includes:
📌 Digital instrument cluster
📌 Touchscreen infotainment system
📌 Digital climate controls on higher trims
Volkswagen might make small tweaks to improve comfort and technology.
