Volkswagen Tarok Will Arrive In Mid-2026 In The National Automotive Market, Debuting The 1.5 TSI Ev02 Flex Engine. The Tarok Pickup Will Arrive In Brazil To Directly Compete With The Toyota Hilux.

Highly anticipated in the automotive market, the Volkswagen Tarok pickup will finally be launched, positioning itself to compete with segment giants like the renowned Toyota Hilux. Initially presented as a concept at the São Paulo Motor Show in 2018, the Tarok is ready to move beyond the conceptual stage and enter production in the first quarter of 2026.

Volkswagen Tarok Delivers 150 Horsepower

The production version of the Tarok pickup, rivaling the Hilux, features some changes compared to the concept presented in 2018. The MQB-A base of the Taos was replaced by the MQB A0 platform from the T-Cross, resulting in a truck with the body of a compact SUV, but with a new structure in the rear, featuring a bed and a double cab.

One of the most notable changes in the Volkswagen Tarok was the use of a rear suspension with a rigid axle and semi-elliptical springs, instead of the independent suspension present in the initial concept. This change aims to increase the load capacity and reliability of the Tarok pickup, even if it means sacrificing some onboard comfort.

Volkswagen Will Invest R$ 1.5 Billion In The Production Of Its New Tarok Pickup

The production of the Volkswagen Tarok, rival of the Toyota Hilux, will take place in São José dos Pinhais (PR), alongside the T-Cross, with an estimated investment between R$ 1 billion and R$ 1.5 billion. A new modular assembly process will be implemented to facilitate the integration of the vehicle’s front end.

Although the name Tarok pickup is used by the brand’s engineers, there are no guarantees that it will be the official name of the production version. However, expectations are high for the arrival of this new competitor in the intermediate pickup market.

It is worth mentioning that Volkswagen has been standing out in the national market, and the Saveiro is one of the best-selling medium pickups in the country and continues to be available in the 2024 line in the Robust, Trendline, and Extreme versions. The 2024 Volkswagen Saveiro Robust is aimed at work, with less aesthetic appeal; however, it still delivers some essential comfort items.

The Medium Pickup Market Is Gaining Attention In Brazil

In addition to the new Tarok pickup, the Chinese JAC Motors is launching the T9 in Brazil, its new medium pickup that arrives to compete with segment leaders like the Fiat Toro and Toyota Hilux. With a competitive starting price of approximately R$ 200 thousand, modern design, embedded technology, and good performance, the model has the potential to attract consumers looking for a robust, accessible, and reliable pickup.

The model measures 5.33 m in length (the same length as the rival Toyota Hilux), has a wheelbase of 3.10 m, a width of 1.96 m, and a height of 1.93 m, weighing a light 1976 kg, and accommodates up to 1090 L of cargo in the bed and at least 900 kg in the Chinese configuration, which is only gasoline, but in the versions with turbo diesel engine, it has a capacity of 1 ton and 50 kg.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

War in Iran takes a turn today: with reinforced control in Hormuz, shots fired at a tanker, six airports reopened, and renewed tension in Lebanon.

Study at Fiocruz for free! The institution offers more than 30,000 spots in 100% online free courses with certificates on Mental Health, Toxicology, Pharmacy, and much more; see how to enroll.

A 13-year-old boy accidentally finds real treasure with a metal detector on an island in Germany, and the discovery reveals rare Viking pieces linked to Harald Bluetooth.

A Brazilian in the skies: Alexandre Frota completes the first stage of his round-the-world trip by landing solo in the United States aboard a single-engine RV-10.

Iran said that the Strait of Hormuz is open, but in practice only 1 non-Iranian oil tanker managed to cross in 24 hours — before the blockade, 100 ships passed per day.

A brand that has been manufacturing motorcycles since 1901 launches its first electric model, and the price shocked the world: $3,000, weighing only 124 kg and accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.7 seconds…

Xiaomi (sim, a mobile phone) received 200,000 orders in 3 minutes for its electric SUV that travels 835 km on a single charge and costs less than a Tesla…

It costs around R$ 40,000, has a reliable Fire engine, and has been a sales success since its launch; see if it’s worth buying a used Fiat Punto in 2026.
