[@mart_en]

I don't quite understand the system of VW's interior furnishing. The Polo has soft touch materials on the dashboard, the T-Cross is purely hard pack, the Taigo gets soft materials again and the top of the line T-Roc is only available with hard plastics again. Don't see the logic here ...

[@dragospahontu]

Hard plastics are better

[@marantamil459]

@@fxkraft1037 lol

[@davidmill7289]

From memory (will have to see the review again so could be wrong), the recent Arona facelift has gone from hard pack to soft, which could explain this.

[@mart_en]

@@davidmill7289 We will have to wait to see the facelift of the T-Roc to make further conclusions I think.

[@felipetooficial]

You should come to Brazil though. Here we don't have this problem. Is hard plastic in every car

[@saintetienne755]

Never realised we needed so many cars!!

[@danielalan2952]

Proudly developed in Brazil, I am happy to see that everyone liked the design. It is the first VW that came from Brazil to Europe since the old VW Fox, does anyone remember that car? Greetings from Brazil.

[@autogefuehl]

Greetings!

[@VeniVidiAjax]

Yes I do, lots of them still drive on the Dutch roads.

[@autochampwandelen]

I also reviewed the Volkswagen Taigo in my channel and I can confirm it seemed more desirable than other Volkswagen models! Yes the Volkswagen Fox was VERY popular here in Belgium, but they vanished now

[@mocasinuldomnuluipablo2237]

it has more plastic overall than the bottles in the trunk, can we return back in the 2000 era of VAG group cars?

[@Piorunowski]

But this car is exactly from 2000 era! With manual handbrake and huge gear lever sticked to AT it is certainly NOT from mid 2021.

Benjamin Smith yes it does not have at least protection plastic side skirts- only for the wheels. Looks a bit like skoda kamiq at very expensive low cost suv or better named raised hatchback car

[@iTestVlog]

The perfect, new family car. Thank you for this review, Danke schön.

[@autogefuehl]

🙏🙏

[@aaaaplay]

Seems like Volkswagen's version of the Skoda Scala but on stilts? The cargo capacity is larger then that of the T-Cross and Kamiq but 20L less then the Scala. The Skoda twins still have the nicest interiors of all the MQB A0 cars (excluding the A1).

[@MrDarrenNice]

This is a great looking car and cannot wait for it to appear on the VW configurator as this suits me and my family needs perfectly ☺️

[@3mariusx]

You will better go for t-cross or t-roc : those two are at least build like a suv ! This one has no protection for side skirts and many more. It is just a raised hatchback that i think will cost more than t-cross

VW will shortly full every gap in vehicle lineup. If so, please make new version of sharan with childseat friendly system like in Touran (fantastic, but lilttle too small). Also, if T7 gets 2.0 TSI, bring atlas to EU with this engine:)

[@Luis-kb1vv]

Very cool car!

[@bernardogaetani]

European version of Nivus is fancier. The only thing I don't understand is why 10inch infotainment screen is brazilian exclusive (in taigo its a smaller 9,2) and 1.0TSi in Brazil develop more power (its bifuel, 128ps when using it with ethanol and 116ps using with petrol).

[@dragospahontu]

Yeah

[@bonnaud_dowell]

I’m curious why vw is bringing this to Europe now. I thought it’s supposed to be focused on an electric future . Abs there are plenty - like the t-cross etc - of other models already? What am I missing ? The relatively low price ?

[@catastrophic009]

Hi William...agree with you on this about the electric future. This perplexes me why they are not concentrating on electric cars instead of carrying on with petrol & diesel. The only logical reason is to maximise their profits from the fossil fuel cars to put into electric development I guess !

[@bonnaud_dowell]

@@catastrophic009 I suppose goven its shape , it would be possible to make a hybrid version in the future . But it wouldn’t be full electric using that old platform

[@desmoheli]

Because the majority of car sales today and in the next years will be ICE cars. VW is converting step by step factories to exclusively MEB, but they cannot just stop selling ICE cars,...

[@catastrophic009]

@@bonnaud_dowell The thing is they don't want hybrids anymore...they have lost their flavour.

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

All I can think of is it is for retired people. A higher seating position than a regular hatch and still roughly the same footprint.

Quality on Volkswagen has gone down after diesel gate

[@bobert83]

@@dragospahontu My Arona is 80,000 km and she's fine. 1.0 115 DSG

[@dragospahontu]

@@bobert83 that's good to hear but it's low mileage. How much oil does it burn? I was specifically talking about interior build quality, these new cars have squeaks and rattles from new. This is why people are starting to move to Kia/Hyundai which offer more quality for less money. It seems like VW customers are still paying for the diesel gate fines...

[@bobert83]

@@dragospahontu You're quite right. In the past, the interior was better, but still feels good in them. At 120,000 km, I change to a new one. Not only vw cheated with diesels, but only with them there was such a large scale. I like my Arona and would buy it again.

The front and side looks like a DS4 Crossback.

[@sandilemagagula488]

Also the vw t rock

[@masonwabekabingca8209]

A great car it looks but need to up a bit on the technology like ... the key look... closing of the rear boot need to have a button or sensor to open and close just like the T-Roc. When I have a luggage on my hands and a key in the pocket shouldn't be difficult for me to get the rear boot open

[@Darx97]

Decent exterior design tbh, looks balanced, stupid fake exhausts tho, interior is nice too, does it have multi color ambient light? or just white

[@Corcioch]

Back of the car reminded me instantly of the original Sirocco.

[@Shadow_Blazer]

The has some of the A45s design like the creases on the bonnet and the black elements on the front bumper

[@edubalak7685]

Morgen! Is that the European version of the VW Nivus built in Brazil for Southamerica?

[@autogefuehl]

Yes

[@augustinmarginean]

This is a competitor for Ford Puma.. VW waited to see if a small coupe crossover and rather expensive compared with the small hatchbacks they are based will make sense to people. And it did, so here it is VW ta grab a slice of the new segment. A full picture can be made once it will be driven, but I can already see it's gonna be be the sensible/comfortable/boring type same like the rest of VW. Also some people not fancy of the Puma frog look of the front can migrate now to VW, yet I bet the lower spec won't look as good.

[@miljanivanko2312]

Thomas super,wie immer..Taigo sieht sehr schoen aus, SUVs sind schoen,aber wir wollen auch Sciroccos,Corrados, SP2

[@102Chrisv]

Great review as always!! Does it have a wrap around lighting, you know like the Leon has? I can see a thin line throughout the dashboard and at the doors but I am not too sure if that is a Led strip that you can change color or just an interior desing material...

[@242Evangelion]

Budget Porsche Macan?

[@arlofs]

6:24 There’s another key difference between the Taigo and the Nivus. My Nivus has cheap/crap plastics on the upper part of the dashboard.

[@srs2802]

great video man. we in latin america have that car since a few months ago. in our market is sold as Volkswagen Nivus

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks keep tuning in!

[@davidmill7289]

An interesting development by VW, Thomas. I think it looks much better than the boxier T-Cross. The dashboard reminds me a bit of the pre-facelift Arona, with a similar style maybe. Coupe styling seems to be making a comeback. Definitely one I would consider in the future and looking forward to the driving review.

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers Dave!

[@shroomyesc]

The shape of the rear lights makes it look like baby's first Audi Q8 😁 However although I don't see the point of introducing this too into VW's lineup, I'm glad they didn't keep the Nivus name as that would've made it the "VW Groin" in some EU markets...

[@rene9582]

VW is really saving wherever they can. The interior of the ID 3 and 4 is mainly hard plastic and both models still have the old fashioned CHEAPER drum brakes. I can’t believe anyone would pay that amount of money for such a low quality. The Koreans are doing a much better job. German cars are losing the battle more and more as the manufacturers have denied the transformation to electric way too long. Instead they were busy with cutting deals amongst eachother (delay AdBlue, diesel gate) whereas the innovative car manufacturers were busy developing new techniques.

[@hiiiofficial8306]

@@rene9582 the drum brakes are used because electric cars hardly use the rear brakes 🤣

[@hiiiofficial8306]

@BuildersM8 I use a electronic one and never want to go back. No offence but im sure your very old? Why else would you miss or want the old manuel handbrake?
