Volkswagen Taigo spotted without camouflage
"The Nivus debuted in Brazil with a new infotainment system called Volks Play, which was created in Brazil"
The European VW Taigo is built on the same MQB-A0 platform as the Volkswagen Taigun, which was unveiled in India earlier this year
The Volkswagen Nivus, a compact crossover that debuted in South America and Mexico, will make its European premiere as the Taigo before the end of 2021. The VW Taigo is similar in positioning to the Volkswagen T-Cross, which is already on sale in Western Europe, and is described as having a dynamic and bright design as well as a distinct character. It is distinguished by a lower, coupe-style roofline, as well as being longer and broader. It's built on the same MQB-A0 platform as the Volkswagen Taigun, which debuted in India earlier this year.
The Nivus will go on sale in Europe in the fourth quarter of this year, shortly after Volkswagen said it will be known as the Taigo on the old continent.
A facelifted version of the bigger Volkswagen T-Roc SUV will follow quickly thereafter. While the Nivus was designed primarily for the South American market, VW stated at the time of its launch in 2020 that it would eventually be available in select European countries.
The Nivus debuted in Brazil with a new infotainment system called Volks Play, which was created in Brazil.
The 10.0-inch high-definition screen includes technology comparable to that found in current European VWs, such as an App Store and built-in Wi-Fi. The system is also touted to be weather resistant and durable, as part of a larger focus on the Nivus to assure long-term reliability, which is critical in severe South American climates and roads. For example, the company can put the car's electrical system to the test over a period of up to ten years to observe how it performs.
The Nivus is also the first Brazilian vehicle to use adaptive cruise control and automated emergency braking. A digital dashboard, keyless entry, six airbags, a driver drowsiness detector, and a driver drowsiness detector are also reported to be market firsts. More detailed details, such as the car's engines and pricing, are yet to be announced, though Volkswagen has stated that it would be available in Europe with "economical TSI engines," meaning that no diesel choices will be available.
