Pros Cons of Volkswagen Taigun

Pros

  • Build quality
  • Turbo engines
  • Handling

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Fuel efficiency
  • No Diesel option

Verdict

Taigun has come like a breath of fresh air in the crowded and competitive compact SUV space in India. Despite the arrival of some newer models in 2022, the car has manged to hold own to its own, primarily because of its build quality, safety and drivability, especially with the bigger 1.5 litre turbo engine. At higher end though, it does feel a tad expensive which is a critical factor in the segment.
