On-Road Score

The Volkswagen Taigun because it strikes an excellent balance between driving dynamics, build quality, practicality and everyday usability qualities that matter to a real-world owner. Firstly, the Taigun drives like a European hatchback-turned-SUV: the chassis is composed, steering is communicative, and the suspension is tuned to absorb bad Indian roads without feeling floaty on the highway. That combination gives confidence on twisty ghats as well as on long straight runs. Secondly, the powertrain (a turbocharged petrol) delivers strong mid-range performance and is easy to manage in traffic or when climbing steep inclines. The gearbox and throttle response are intuitive for both relaxed cruising and overtaking on two-lane roads. Thirdly, Volkswagen's focus on build quality and ergoNomics shows in everyday use the cabin feels solid, controls are well laid out, and NVH levels are mature for its class. Practical things like boot space, rear-seat comfort and storage make it a good long-distance companion for road trips and family use. Finally, compared with close rivals, the Taigun offers a more drive

Of all the cars currently available in India, my favorite is the Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus 1.5 TSI DSG as this is my first SUV. This is the one that I own and it's more like a part of my family. I think it finds a great balance between performance, safety, and driving enjoyment in a market that often focuses only on features. The 1.5 TSI engine with active cylinder deactivation combines power and efficiency well. The DSG gearbox provides smooth and quick shifts, making it a true driver�s car. I really like how solid and confidence inspiring it feels at high speeds, which is something I appreciate as an automobile engineer. My mother who is a senior citizen has never complained of back pain on our drives from Bangalore to Cochin. Credit goes to the seat profile design too. While other cars in the segment may try to impress with their size or techNology, the Taigun wins me over with its German engineering, driving experience, and simple design. It�s a car that doesn�t just take you from point A to B; it helps you enjoy the journey. That, for me, makes it truly special.

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.

The Volkswagen Tiguan, it's a complete package that blends performance, practicality, and refinement in a way few others manage. Ideal for Indian roads, the 2.0 TSI engine and DSG gearbox provide a smooth and exciting ride. The standard Volkswagen solidity that inspires long-term confidence is evident in its build quality, fit, and finish. Additionally, the Tiguan R's subtle elegance, pure engineering, and driving pleasure are admirable.
