The new Volkswagen Taigo arrives as a new SUV for the VW range – and with a ‘coupe’ roof – to sit alongside the T-Cross as a ‘Lifestyle buy. It’s hard to see why VW needs yet another SUV in its range to tempt buyers, but they clearly believe there’s a gap for a ‘Lifestyle […]

Volkswagen expands the range of ID.4 models in the UK, delivering lower=spec models with smaller battery. But just one qualifies for the PiCG.
