Volkswagen Tacqua

The Volkswagen Tacqua is a compact SUV from FAW-Volkswagen, the Chinese joint venture. It was shown in China in early November 2019 and went on sale the same month at the Guangzhou Auto Show. It is almost identical to the Chinese version of the Volkswagen T-Cross, which SAIC-Volkswagen builds, and the Chinese models are about ten centimetres longer than the T-Cross sold in Europe. Offering two near twin models is not unusual in China: German Wikipedia compares it with the Toyota RAV4 and Wildlander, and says FAW-Volkswagen aims at the northern Beijing market while SAIC-Volkswagen targets the southern Shanghai market. Engines were a 1.5 litre petrol of 83 kW and a 1.4 litre TSI of 110 kW, with a 1.2 litre TSI of 85 kW added in 2021.
