In this episode, Savagegeese takes another look at the 2024 VW Ta, now equipped with all-wheel drive and some mechanical enhancements. Previously unimpressed with Volkswagen's lackluster offerings, the team dives into the Ta's updated features. They commend the Ta for its mature and understated exterior design, standing out from the overly styled competition. Inside, the Ta impresses with its user-friendly physical controls, spacious layout, and thoughtful design elements, making it a practical choice for families.

Behind the wheel, the all-wheel drive variant of the Ta shines with its independent rear suspension and dual-clutch transmission, promising a more dynamic driving experience. Testing its performance, the team notes improvements in handling and stability, especially in challenging weather conditions. However, they find the transmission to be a mixed bag, with some delays and jerky behavior, dampening the overall driving experience. Despite this, the Ta is praised for its refinement and spacious interior, offering a compelling option in the crowded compact SUV segment.

Comparing the Ta to its competitors like the HRV, Kona, and Compass, the team acknowledges its unique blend of German styling and practicality. While the Ta may not be the most exciting choice in its class, it stands out for its cohesive design, usability, and family-friendly features. For those seeking a reliable and understated SUV with solid performance and ample space, the VW Ta with all-wheel drive proves to be a worthy contender.
