Mini SUV are in fashion. VW have recognized it and now presents a study of a baby Tiguan. That now at the Sao Paulo Auto Show (October 24 to November 4) presented concept car Taigun could go into production as early as 2014.
That the name is an anagram of Tiguan is no coincidence. Even visually, the small crossover draws heavily upon his big brother. With 3.86 meters, he is almost a foot shorter than this. Moreover, there are only four instead of five seats and a luggage compartment that is with 280 liters 200 liters smaller. No wonder, comes the technology for Taigun but from small cars VW Up. Like this, the mini SUV is only driven through the front wheels - all-wheel drive is not provided.
The City Mini was also in the motorization Godfather: The drive takes in Taigun also a 1.0-liter gasoline engine, in this case, but with turbocharging. So as to develop the three cylinder 81 kW/110 hp and allow a top speed of 186 km / h The sprint from zero to 100 km / h will take 9.2 seconds. As consumption of only 985 kg heavy study is the manufacturer about 4.5 liters.
Even if it is only a Taigun the study, a series production is still more than likely. The relatively new segment of the mini SUV is considered particularly prone to heel, the choice of models is growing rapidly. In addition to the available models for a while Nissan Juke, Mini Countryman, Skoda Yeti and soon fighting the Opel Mokka, the Peugeot 2008 and the Ford Eco Sport for market share. VW will not want to stay long in there.
