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.

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.

Car Deal of the Day: Volkswagen Taigo proves not all coupé-SUVs are expensive at £214 a month
Surprisingly spacious Stylish design £214 a month Until relatively recently, if you wanted a coupé-SUV your only option was to spend big on the likes of the BMW X6, Mercedes GLE Coupé or Audi Q8. The segment has grown, however, and now the likes of Volkswagen has joined in with smaller, more affordable alternatives that still give you that blend of coupé styling and an SUV driving experience. This deal we found via Select Car Leasing Volkswagen on the Auto Express Find A Car service is a real head-turner, offering VW's Taigo coupé-SUV for just £214 a month. The deal is based over a 48-month period, with a sensible initial deposit of £2,863. While that's dependent on a 5,000-mile annual mileage limit, you can bump that up to 10,000 miles for an extra £15 a month. Advertisement - Article continues below Some coupé-SUVs are quite difficult to make a case for over their SUV siblings, typically losing out on interior space while costing a boatload more. However, in the case of the Taigo, which is based on the T-Cross, you'll find a rather spacious cabin, complete with a very accommodating 440-litre boot. The 95bhp 1.0-litre TSI petrol unit might sound a bit weedy, but it feels sprightly enough around town, and the five-speed manual shift is easygoing. Plus, with extra ground clearance compared to its Polo supermini sibling, the Taigo's ride quality is pretty impressive considering its size. Despite not having any mild-hybrid assistance, the car is fairly frugal, too, with a combined 51.8mpg meaning it won't cost a fortune to run. This being the Match version of the Taigo, inside you'll find a decent equipment list with wireless smartphone charging, a rear-view camera, keyless go and tinted windows.
