Car Deal of the Day: VW Taigo Black Edition at £222 per month is an attractive path to the dark side
Stylish yet frugal coupé-SUV
Generously equipped Black Edition
Three-year lease and £222 per month
Not everyone loves a coupé-SUV, but if you want a new car that offers plenty of space inside and some sleek, sporty styling, you can now get the Volkswagen Taigo Black Edition through Auto Express for as little as £222 per month.
That price is being offered by Carwow Leasey, through the Auto Express Find A Car service. It's for a three-year lease with an initial outlay of £2,963, followed by monthly payments of £222. Included in the offer is the standard annual allowance of 5,000 miles per year. Advertisement - Article continues below
If that initial payment is too high for you, it can be reduced to £1,824 – the equivalent of six months of payments, rather than 12 – and you'll still only have to pay £254 per month. You can also increase the mileage limit to 8,000 a year for less than £20 extra per month.
As the name suggests, the roof, roof rails, 18-inch alloy wheels, side mirrors and various other elements of the exterior trim are all black, plus it's fitted with tinted rear windows. Being the range-topping model, it's also equipped with a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro driver's display, 10.25-inch central touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats and wireless smartphone charging.
The Taigo is based on the more conventional, boxy Volkswagen T-Cross, and you might assume the coupé's roofline eats up lots of cabin space. But the interior is actually rather spacious, and you get a sizable 440 litres of boot capacity to play with.
Under the bonnet of the Taigo Black Edition is a 148bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Volkswagen says this combo can return up to 48.1mpg and is good for 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds.

Ferrari boss Vasseur hands over to D'Ambrosio for Austrian GP
SPIELBERG, Austria, June 29 (Reuters) - Ferrari Formula One boss Fred Vasseur has left the Austrian Grand Prix to return home for personal reasons with deputy Jerome d'Ambrosio taking over for Sunday's race at Spielberg, the team said. Ferrari had Charles Leclerc set to start on the front row alongside McLaren's pole-sitter Lando Norris and seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton fourth on the grid. The Italian team have yet to win this season and Frenchman Vasseur has come under increasing pressure with speculation about his future. Belgian D'Ambrosio is a former racer who joined Ferrari from Mercedes and has been deputy principal since last October. Before that he was also a team boss with Venturi in the all-electric Formula E series.

BREAKING NEWS Car smashes into central London landmark, closing off streets as two are rushed to hospital with injuries
A car has this morning crashed into a central London landmark, causing streets to be closed off streets with two people rushed to hospital with injuries. Police and paramedics blue-lighted to a Piccadilly Circus roundabout at around 5.25am where a car had flipped near a fountain. Photos show police tape sealing off roads and the scene where the heavily damaged vehicle is seen on its roof. London Ambulance paramedics arrived within minutes of receiving a 999 call, with one person being rushed to a major trauma centre. Another person has been taken to a local hospital. One witness said the car had seemed to have 'driven straight into the fountain'. Writing on X, they said: 'Roads leading to and away from it seem to be closed off by tape. 'Biggest roundabout in London closed off on a weekend, what a day.' A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: 'We were called at 5.25am today (29 June) to reports of a road traffic collision on Piccadilly, W1J. 'We sent a number of resources, including ambulance crews, a paramedic in a fast response car, an incident response officer and members of our hazardous area response team (HART). We also dispatched a trauma team in a car from London's Air Ambulance. 'Our first paramedic arrived on scene in less than four minutes. 'We treated two people. We took one patient to a major trauma centre and the other patient to a local hospital.'

Philippe Krief: The engineering guru who swapped Ferrari for Renault
A successful one, admittedly – young Krief was rolling around in the back of DS Citroëns and had a soft spot for his father's Peugeot 504 coupé (the Pininfarina one, he reminds me), so delectable metal was on the scene. But it wasn't the impetus. Engineering was the job he always wanted to do, 'so I combined cars with my passion', he says. Engineering was the desire, cars the vessel. The balance has since shifted, and Krief today can't imagine engineering anything else. He says: 'The thing I learned, and that I now know would be difficult not to have, is the soul you give to a car,' he says. 'You can feel it when you test drive it.' I guess you can't get quite the same kick from designing an MRI machine, or even an unmanned rocket. That soundbite is typical Krief talk. He speaks softly, authoritatively, in accented English, enunciating precisely as he describes engineering concepts and management structures, but then often expressing a sentiment that would sound twee coming from anyone else. It helps that 'soul' is very much his oeuvre, as anyone who has tried his back catalogue knows. You get the sense Krief is a unique proposition. On one hand the man is obsessed with quantitative approaches – 'at the end of the day, what makes the car feel [special], even if it looks subjective, can be measured' – and he champions simulators, with their potential to do all the dogsbody bits of chassis development, driving down costs and freeing up talent. But he also firmly believes the human touch is non-negotiable if you're going to create a sports car that is 'completely harmonious in everything'. In many ways he is perfectly suited to taking a romantic brand like Alpine forward into what is, technologically, still rather an unknown space. The extent of Krief's uniqueness as a world-class chassis developer surely stems from his geographically varied and demanding career path. Part of the final year of an engineering degree was spent at Renault, developing early suspension simulation models. It was pioneering stuff in the '80s – and perhaps useful preparation for today's uncertain world. Next was Michelin, when tyre development was still a 'trial and error process'.
