Recently Asked User Questions
- If you want a car in a more smarter and understated set of clothes, look no further than the Taigun. Even the interior is out and out Volkswagen with a minimalistic layout. The VW also packs a digital driver’s display, a feature that’s absent in the Kushaq. The Taigun has a good amount of features, safety feature wise too it feels sorted right from the base variant. The ride is comfortable enough and more importantly is fun to drive. On the other hand, Creta has been dominating the segment for years and is now in its second generation. The new Creta feels like it’s lifted its game a step up, and in some ways, even a step and a half up with a more sophisticated ride, comfort and features list. But we’re used to Hyundais being leaders of the pack, especially when it comes to features. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details. Read More: - Hyundai Creta vs Volkswagen Taigun
- Both cars are best in their own forte, The Maruti Suzuki Brezza maintenance the strong fundamentals of space, practicality, and comfort but now gets a stronger tech package, more safety features, and a better automatic transmission. But, it should’ve offered superior interior quality and more exciting drive options. On the other hand, Volkswagen Taigun looks just like a baby VW SUV and a classy one at that. In terms of build, it does feel a tad better than its key rival, the Creta, but falls short in fit and finish levels compared to the Polo and Vento. However, the features and safety equipment on offer are definitely a step up. The quality of features is excellent and the way the Taigun GT drives has to be the most impressive aspect of this entire package. Moreover, we would suggest you visit your nearest dealership and take a test drive. Click on the given link for dealership details and select your desired model and city: dealership.
- Both the cars are from different segments. Volkswagen Taigun is an SUV whereas Volkswagen Virtus is Sedan. The Virtus offers a strong balance of style, space, features, ride comfort, and performance. It has a classy design, spacious interior, intuitive infotainment package, and punchy petrol engines. On the other hand, Taigun isn't stepping up in terms of fit and finish, and although they will be delighted with all the knee room on offer, rear-seat width is still an issue as fitting three people in the back will be a squeeze. But if you look past this, the Volkswagen delivers, and how! It has a good amount of features, safety feature-wise too it feels sorted right from the base variant. The ride is comfortable enough and more importantly is fun to drive. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Read more -Volkswagen Virtus First Drive Review: Does The City Need To Sweat?..-Volkswagen Taigun First Drive Review: 10 Reasons Why It Lives Up To The Hype!.

TaigunEngine is fantastic
I am using turbo petrol engine and the engine performance is super duper great with high fun to drive experience. The performance is very very smooth and is a extreme in terms of outright performance and for both city and highway it is superb and the ride quality is very good and absorbent. The handling is one of the most fantastic of Volkswagen Taigun SUV and the steering wheel is very very light so very easy to ride with high visibility but space in the rear could be more better.

TaigunAwesome Car
This car stands out as one of the finest and safest in its segment. Penning this review after driving nearly 50,001 km, I can attest to its excellence. Despite my initial concern about mileage, particularly with the 1.5 GT Plus model, I've been pleasantly surprised by its efficiency, achieving around 16 km/l in the city and over 20 km/l on the highway. The driving experience and performance are truly satisfying.

TaigunCompact Dynamism.
The Volkswagen Tiguan rightly reflects the aesthetics of elegance. The passenger cabin is not only spacious, but also comfortable. Adorned by a range of powerful engines, it provides an impeccable and enjoyable driving experience. Security systems can be found in abundance, hence the feeling of safety on the road doesn't leave you. Yet, some people might consider the system a bit dated in comparison to the one in competitor’s cars. However the Tiguan is amazing with its mix of style, performance and functionality being that it competes extremely well in the segment of compact SUVs.

TaigunEnjoy the ride of this car
The feature list in Volkswagen Taigun is very nice and is a feature rich SUV that also provides great safety features. I am very enjoy the ride of this bike and it perfoms very smoothly and the interior is fully loaded with the features but is uncomfortable for the three occupants. With the peppy and refined engine it is a great value for money car and also is a very great bike for the long trips. It gives good mileage and the stability in this SUV is also very nice.

TaigunCompact SUV, Sporty Design, Dynamic Performance
A adjustable and thrilling driving experience is handed for city explorers by the Volkswagen Taigun, a fragile SUV famed for its super looks and excellent best experience. I love my Taigun because of its lean foreign looks and tough posture, which exudes tone- confidence and dexterity while driving. The Taigun's quick acceleration and sharp running make every drive an instigative experience, which is my main argument for treasuring it. My Taigun is my go- to bike for improvisational road passages and megacity commuting since it provides a confident ride and sprightly best experience whether riding on vast roads and Navigating tight angles.

Taigunshine on the streets
Volkswagen Taigun is a compact SUV that balances style, performance, and practicality. Its efficient engines deliver commendable fuel efficiency without compromising on power. With its spacious interior and comfortable seating for five, it's perfect for families or weekend adventures. The Taigun boasts modern features like a user-friendly infotainment system and advanced safety technology, ensuring a pleasant driving experience. While its handling is agile and responsive, some may find the ride slightly firm on rough roads. Overall, the Volkswagen Taigun offers a compelling package in the competitive compact SUV market.

TaigunA Balanced Perspective
After weeks of discussion, I finally took the decision and i bought the Volkswagen Taigun. Owning it for over six months now, I had a fair share of experiences both delightful and slightly inconvenient which I believe could help potential buyers make an informed decision.Let's talk about what I love first. The Taigun's performance is a standout with its 1.0L TSI engine that effortlessly produces 115PS of power and a torque of 178Nm. It's a joy on highways and performs admirably in city conditions. But the rear seating space is adequate but might feel cramped for taller passengers on longer rides.

TaigunAppealing and spacious car
I am happy to give all the parallels of the proven Volkswagen Taigun that is priced well and offers both top notch efficiency and outstanding show of power with its fine engine. A fusion of class and contemporary design is accentuated with the visually appealing exterior, and its spacious and comfortable interior makes it a delight to drive. They are appealing and that is even without including them. In more, the Taigun security depends on numerous emergency features which make it have an upper hand over its segment.
