The Volkswagen Taro, produced from 1989 to 1997, was a compact pickup truck that represented a significant departure from Volkswagen's traditional model lineup. It was the result of a joint venture between Volkswagen and the Japanese automaker, Isuzu. The Taro was essentially a badge-engineered version of the Isuzu Faster, sharing its platform, engine, and many of its design elements. Despite sharing many components with the Faster, the Taro was distinct in its styling, particularly in the front fascia, which incorporated Volkswagen's signature grille and headlights. The Taro was offered in both single-cab and double-cab configurations, providing versatility for various needs. It was powered by a range of Isuzu-sourced diesel engines, known for their durability and fuel efficiency. The Taro's popularity was attributed to its ruggedness, reliability, and practicality, making it a popular choice for commercial and personal use in various markets around the world. The Volkswagen Taro was a testament to the collaborative spirit between Volkswagen and Isuzu, offering a unique combination of German engineering and Japanese reliability. The truck's robust construction, combined with its versatile cargo capacity, made it a capable performer in both urban and off-road environments. The Taro enjoyed a successful run, finding favor with customers seeking a durable and practical pickup truck. Despite its popularity, the Taro was discontinued in 1997, marking the end of Volkswagen's foray into the compact pickup truck segment. The legacy of the Taro, however, lives on in the form of its successor, the Volkswagen Amarok, which builds upon the brand's experience in developing capable and versatile pickup trucks. The Taro remains a notable chapter in Volkswagen's history, showcasing its commitment to innovation and collaboration, even in unexpected market segments.
