If you follow the logic, then the next Tiguan should have appeared on the Polo platform, but the new modular “cart” Volkswagen confused all the cards. In addition,
The trend in this segment is now such that it is not worth going to Europe with what. Latin American market is a completely different matter. Here, the models differ, and the requests from the public are special.
Volkswagen boldly stepped down two steps right down and showed Taigun Conceptual crossover at the Brazilian San Paulo. He does not live in the taiga, but in the city jungle, which in Brazil is full. The same San Paulo twice as much as Moscow.
Compact, light, nimble, pits are not afraid, easily jumps into the curb. This friend, and in Portuguese (it is in that language that the Brazilians speak) Amigo, the musculist is also built. Its tightened silhouette is fully consistent with the laconic style of VW: Taigun resembles the baby Up! After an enhanced protein-steroid diet and regular training. Similarity with UP! It is no coincidence that these guys from the same NEW Small Family family. Taigun, however, is larger: 3859 mm in length, 1728 mm in width, 1570 mm in height plus plus – J personal wheelbase (2470 mm), short overhangs and wide wheel arches. This is where athletic proportions and modest weight are 985 kg!
Nimble small
By the way, an excessive appetite Brazilian with German roots does not suffer. New, 1.0-liter three-cylinder TSI engine with 110 liters. With. With direct fuel injection and turbocharged, only 4.5 liters are enough per “hundred” kilometers in the mixed cycle. The torque is decent at the same time – 175 nm at 1500 rpm. It allows you to promote the speedometer to the maximum 186 km/h. VW also took care of the calm of passengers: Taigun is equipped with an electronic system for maintaining exchange rate stability (ESC) and other active safety elements. Also if you need heavy equipment for construction work, then renting a bulldozer is what you need, and with it you can do all the necessary work in time.
You can’t occupy the practicality of the little “German” either: the roof is decorated with relings with built -in LED lamps, the trunk door is two -part (the upper part opens up, the lower third is down). Behind it-280 l of the JO-1 lezed volume or 987 liters with folded rear seats.
A serious application for commercial success, is it true? In the board of the Volkswagen concern, they promised that if Amigo liked the audience, the serial version may appear in 2-2.5 years.
