Sporty looks, solid build, and fun turbocharged performance. Drives smoothly with a premium cabin feel. Great value with features like sunroof & digital cockpit. Easy to drive & highly recommend for city + highway use.

Volkswagen Taigun, I have always been a great admirer of German engineering and specifically of VAG. What sets this car apart from others in the segment is the underlying MQB A0 IN platform and both 1.0 and 1.5 TSI engine options. Though the car looks smaller in size as compared to the competitors but according to me this gives VW Taigun an edge for having great stability and less body roll. It also delivers great performance when required which makes it both practical and an enthusiasts car. It lacks features as that of other cars like the 360-degree camera, ADAS, panoramic sunroof etc. but I don't see some of these features to be practical on Indian roads. So in a nutshell the car offers safety, reliability, performance, practicality and fun to drive experience. Although no car is a perfect car but VW Taigun fits in best while selecting a compact SUV in the market.

Taigun.. I like volkswagen as it offers good performance while driving. The turbo-petrol engine gives excellent pickup and makes city or highway driving enjoyable. The interior quality is premium, and it gives a European car feel. If you love driving, this is one of the best choices in the mid-size SUV segment
