The stage is set for a new body shape from the Volkswagen brand: With the new compact crossover Taigo, Volkswagen is launching an SUV coupé on the European market for the first time. The front-wheel drive Taigo is a real crowd-pleaser with its trendy crossover body style, raised seating positions, pioneering connectivity and unrestricted suitability for everyday use. The rear of the five-seater car slopes backwards in the style of a coupé, without restricting headroom in the back seat. This sees Volkswagen expand the portfolio of the compact Polo (hatchback) and T-Cross (SUV) models built on the MQB platform with a third chassis variant, which has previously been primarily reserved for high-end models. Numerous latest-generation assistance systems guarantee optimum comfort and a high level of safety for all passengers.
With more than 18 million units built, the Polo is one of the most successful compact models in the world. It is available in the equipment lines "Polo", "Life", "Style", "R-Line" and as a special model "Fresh". Fully digital and with the latest assistance and comfort systems, the Polo is not only offered with economical TSI engines, but also with a natural gas engine.
"Accept no roof" - the new VW T-Roc Cabriolet makes a promise. It is the promise of unlimited freedom, a breath of fresh air in the SUV segment and highly emotional driving pleasure. As the first crossover convertible in the compact class, it unites the robustness and strengths of an SUV with the joyful driving experience of an open-top car.The Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet instantly reveals what it stands for - driving fun, freedom and vitality. The strikingly wide front end, prominent lines and tight proportions give the model a distinctive mix of effortlessness and beefy SUV looks. The team under Volkswagen Head of Design Klaus Bischoff created lines that clearly underline the unique position of the T-Roc Cabriolet within the SUV segmentThe 2+2-seater VW T-Roc Cabriolet is based on the Modular Transverse Toolkit (MQB). It measures 4.27 m in length and has a wheelbase of 2.63 m. The car is 1.81 m wide (not including exterior mirrors) and 1.52 m high. The height above the road in relation to the H-point is 599 mm for the driver and front passenger and even 616 mm for rear passengers. The luggage compartment has a capacity of 280 litres. The folding rear seat backrests and optional tow bar underscore the car's versatility.Following in the footsteps of the Beetle and Golf Cabriolet, the T-Roc Cabriolet has a classic light soft top consisting of three layers. It is opened and closed fully automatically by the electrohydraulic drive in nine and eleven seconds respectively - and this is also possible during travel at speeds of up to 30 km/h. When open, the soft top folds down in a Z format behind the rear seats, its solid front cross strut serving as a cover. When the roof is closed, retainer bars prevent it from ballooning at high speeds. There is always a pleasant sense of calm inside the car, not least due to effective seals in the doors and windows. Volkswagen is able to supply a windbreak on request.
The new technological developments realised with the MQB evo improve the Tiguan in practically every area. New hybrid drives with an all-electric range of around 100 km make this SUV more efficient than ever before. In addition, AC charging will be faster in all eHybrid versions, and fast DC charging will also be possible as standard for the first time. A cleanly designed Digital Cockpit based on the MIB4, the fourth-generation modular infotainment matrix, offers the highest level of information and brings digital services and apps on board. The operating concept is designed to be consistently self-explanatory. In addition, new systems such as a pneumatic massage function for the front seats or the IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights – used for the first time in the Tiguan – are derived from the premium Touareg model. The new adaptive chassis control DCC Pro optimises comfort and dynamics. The latest Park Assist generation automates driving in and out of parking spaces.
A class of its own. The Volkswagen Passat is a global bestseller. To date, more than 34 million units have been delivered to almost every country in the world. An ongoing success – even five decades after its debut, the Passat is currently one of the three best-selling Volkswagens internationally alongside the Tiguan and Polo (with their derivatives). In Europe, it has always been a steady long-term seller, especially as the Variant. Since 2022, Volkswagen has therefore exclusively offered the Passat as an estate version between the North Cape and Gibraltar. And with resounding success. In Germany, for example, the Passat Variant was topped the rankings in the mid-sized class in 2023, with 45,494 new registrations. The secret to its success is the fact that the Passat Variant is two cars in one – a business class vehicle and a family all-rounder at the same time. Now, a brand-new Passat Variant is being launched that has been developed from scratch. And this time, it is breaking down class boundaries. Even though the Passat Variant – now in its ninth generation – is priced (from 39,995 euros) in the mid-sized class, its new size, new quality standard and new innovative power mean it can cater to the next segment up.
