Recently Asked User Questions

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. 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.
Q. Which is better between Volkswagen Taigun and Volkswagen Virtus?
  • 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.
