The brand’s 1.0-litre TSI three-cylinder turbocharged petrol unit will make up the bulk of the line-up, with 94bhp and 108bhp variants on offer - the former mated to a five-speed manual as standard and the latter a six-speed manual. A seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic will be offered on the 108bhp TSI 110 as an option. The most potent engine option will be a 1.5 TSI four-cylinder turbo unit, producing 148bhp.

VW hasn’t confirmed 0-62mph times for the different powertrains but has announced that top speeds will be 113mph, 118mph and 131mph respectively.

The Taigo range features four engine and gearbox configurations, with the combination depending on specification. The entry-level Taigo Life is available with a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, 95 PS TSI petrol engine, fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox, as well as a 110 PS engine of the same size, mated to either a 6-speed manual gearbox1, or a 7-speed DSG automatic.

This 110 PS unit is available across all three Taigo specifications – with the manual version of the 110 PS arriving across all Taigo specifications on 11 November. A second DSG-equipped option – a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder TSI engine with 150 PS – is available in the Taigo Style and R-Line. These three engines return 175 Nm, 200 Nm and 250 Nm of torque respectively, while the 110 PS, 6-speed manual-equipped Taigo returns the greatest fuel economy within the range of 52.3 mpg, and the lowest CO2 emissions, of 124 g/km (WLTP, combined). A full table of available engines, with their respective prices and performance figures, can be seen below.
