5 extras you should retrofit on a used Volkswagen Taigo

The Volkswagen Taigo forms part of Volkswagen's T-SUV range. Its name comes from a combination of the words 'tiger', the animal, and 'Taiga', a forest in the Northern Hemisphere. As a result, the Taigo is a symbol of the outdoors and adventure. My colleague Lawrence Minnie had the Taigo on test, and you can read his thoughts here.

The Taigo employs a coupe style with sharp lines and a lean body. There are elements of crossover styling, such as the plastic cladding on the wheel arches and design proportions, but there are other elements to offset this, like the imposing front end and large wheels. Despite the coupe style, the Taigo is roomy inside, and clever use of the sliding rear seat extends the already large 385-litre boot area to 455 litres. More space for your adventures.
