With Innovative Design and Hybrid Technology, the New Volkswagen Tarok Promises to Revolutionize the Brazilian Market

Volkswagen has finally confirmed the launch of the new compact Volkswagen Tarok pickup in Brazil, a direct competitor to the Fiat Toro and Chevrolet Montana. This announcement is part of a more than R$ 7 billion investment that the German automaker will allocate to Brazil by 2028. With several leaked details recently, the model promises to shake up the Brazilian market.

Design and Platform

The Volkswagen Tarok will retain the name of the concept car presented at the São Paulo International Motor Show in 2018. Unlike the initial concept that used the original MQB platform, the production version will be based on the MQB 0 platform, the same one used for the compact SUV T-Cross. This change aims to reduce production costs, making the pickup more affordable for consumers.

The new pickup will be produced at the factory in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná, and not in Argentina as initially suggested. This decision reinforces Volkswagen’s strategy to invest in local production, strengthening its presence in the Brazilian market.

Style and Functionality

In terms of design, the Tarok will feature a design very similar to that of the concept car, including a Full LED headlight set at the front and rear, 18-inch wheels, and innovative modularity in the bed, which can extend into the cabin, increasing the space for carrying larger loads.

Technology and Features

The Tarok will be equipped with various modern technologies, including:

Premium sound system by Beats

Keyless entry
Configurable 10-inch digital dashboard
Wireless phone charging
Digital climate control with touch controls
10-inch VW Play multimedia system with wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

In terms of safety, the pickup will include:

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Collision Alert
Lane Reader
Blind Spot Alert
Autonomous Emergency Braking
Lane Assist
Automatic High-Intensity Headlights

Hybrid Engine of the Volkswagen Tarok

One of the major innovations of the Volkswagen Tarok is its hybrid engine. The Tarok will be equipped with a 1.5 Turbo four-cylinder engine, known as Evo 2, which offers greater efficiency and fuel economy. This engine will be flex and can run on ethanol, in addition to having a more durable timing chain.

The Tarok will have several hybrid configurations, including mild hybrid versions with a 48V battery and plug-in hybrid options that can generate up to 245 horsepower combined. This diversification will allow Volkswagen to offer the pickup in different price ranges, from more affordable combustion and mild hybrid versions starting at R$ 160,000, to more powerful plug-in hybrid versions that can reach R$ 220,000.

Impact on the Brazilian Market

With production confirmed and a launch forecast for 2025, the Volkswagen Tarok promises to be one of the most innovative and efficient pickups in the Brazilian market. Its flex hybrid setup, combined with a modern design and a wide range of technologies, is expected to place it in a prominent position, offering a sophisticated and technological alternative to current pickups.

Julgo eu, que a indústria automobilística, hoje refém dos governos e suas péssimas políticas fiscais canibalisticas , em cima de produtos simbolicamente DITOS DE CONSUMO, mas no Brasil, nunca foram , são ou serão, e sim símbolos de Época. E principalmente ICONES de gerações
