Q. Which is better, Volkswagen Taigun or Maruti Brezza?
  • 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.

However, the features and safety equipment on offer are definitely a step up.
