Welcome to the shiny world of the Volkswagen Taigo, a brand new model in VW's lineup. In the never-ending battle for boot space supremacy, the Taigo offers a pretty sweet spot for a compact SUV, boasting a generous 455 liters of cargo volume. With rear seats folded, this increases to a voluminous 1,281 liters.
As the Taigo is a fresh face in the Volkswagen family, there's only one generation to chat about. Spoiler alert: it's the current one, the Taigo 1st Generation (2021-now). There's no history of evolving trunk sizes here, just one rather decent offering from the get-go. Stick around as we dive into the nitty-gritty details of how the Taigo's boot space stacks up against other cars in the lineup and rivals across the road.
The Volkswagen Taigo finds itself in the upper-middle of VW's boot space pecking order. It easily trumps the T-Roc's 445 liters, while matching the internalLink'>T-Cross 455 liters, however, it does fall short of the ID.4's whopping 543 liters. It's evident that the Taigo represents a pretty solid choice for those hunting for a good mixture of practicality and style within the VW lineup.
Now for the rival showdown. On paper, the Taigo trumps many of its competitors in the boot space department. The SsangYong Tivoli (395 liters) and Honda HR-V (393 liters) are well behind the Taigo, while the Hyundai Kona (361 liters) has been left in the dust. However, the boot space king is not without challengers - the Ford Puma inches ahead with a marginally larger 456 liters. But let's not forget, with the rear seats folded, the Taigo is a force to be reckoned with, offering a cavernous 1,281 liters which surpasses many of its adversaries.
