Volkswagen's new Taigun concept is no typo, but it could just be a preview of a new sub-Tiguan compact SUV.

Revealed at this week's Sao Paulo Moto Show, the Taigun is built on the same New Small Family platform that underpins the lilliputian Up city car - and it's not a great deal bigger. 

Measuring 3859mm long and 1728mm wide, with a 2470mm wheelbase, the Taigun is 300mm longer than the Up, but less than 100mm wider and rides on a wheelbase only 50mm longer. 

Those dimensions mean the Taigun is also a good bit smaller than the 4125mm-long Australia-bound Nissan Juke and Holden's upcoming Trax, at 4258mm. 

Despite its larger footprint, Volkswagen says the Taigun weighs just 985kg, giving away just 56kg to the smaller Up five-door.
