What we like

High level of standard equipment even on the base-spec model – cars from Style trim upwards are positively bedecked with glitzy tech. Practicality that’s virtually unchanged from the boxier T-Cross is nice too.

What we don’t like

The Taigo is dull to drive, no matter what sort of road you’re on, and the uninspiring all-petrol engine lineup lacks any electrification – both literal and metaphorical.
