Performance and Powertrain
The 2024 Fiat Tipo Hatchback offers a choice between two engines: a petrol Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) and a diesel variant, both four-cylinder configurations. With a power output of 130 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque, the Tipo manages a respectable 0-100 km/h time of 8.8 seconds and a top speed of 208 km/h. These figures are achieved via either a manual gearbox or a dual-clutch automatic transmission, both ensuring a smooth driving experience.
On the other hand, the VW Taigo presents a more diverse range of engine options, all petrol-based, ranging from 95 to 150 horsepower. The top-tier configuration, offering 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, allows the Taigo to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds, slightly edging past the Tipo's acceleration. The Taigo also features both manual and dual-clutch automatic transmissions, providing versatility to its driving dynamics.
