Used Volkswagen Taigo for sale

The Volkswagen Taigo received a full five-star rating from Euro NCAP. Standard safety kit includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keeping assist, fatigue alert and adaptive cruise control. Most models also have front and rear parking sensors, making parking much easier.

Choose between three turbocharged petrol engines: a 1.0-litre with 95hp (five-speed manual) or 110hp (six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG auto) and a 1.5-litre petrol (DSG auto only) with 150hp. There are no diesel, hybrid or electric versions.

All Taigo trims include an eight-inch touchscreen with DAB radio, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher models add built-in satnav, a digital driver’s display and two-zone climate control.

Expect between 46 and 53mpg across the range, which is decent for a car of this size. The bigger 1.5-litre engine is thirstier. Automatics are less efficient for shorter town trips but tend to be more economical for longer motorway journeys.

Look for a full service history and ensure the infotainment system is working, as minor software glitches have been reported. Check that all safety systems show no warnings. For extra peace of mind, consider The AA Vehicle Inspection to uncover any hidden issues with your chosen used car.

The Taigo uses tried-and-tested VW Group petrol engines and shares parts with models like the Polo and T-Cross, so mechanical reliability is solid. Some drivers mention occasional infotainment glitches, but there are few reports of breakdowns or major faults.
