Verdict

The Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is a calculated and mature step from Maruti Suzuki into the compact SUV segment. Based on road tests by our experts, the strengths of the Grand Vitara are obvious. It is engineered based on the following concepts: efficiency, comfort and usability over time.
The mild hybrid is asensible and practical option and the AWD gives it a further boost to attract buyers who stay in hilly or rough road regions. Moreover, the strong-hybrid delivers almost 28kmpl claimed efficiency and a considerably more refined experience. It is not the sportiest SUV in its class. It lacks diesel power and advanced driver assistance systems. But for buyers who are looking for fuel economy, comfort and brand reliability, the Grand Vitara is one of the most rational and future-ready compact SUVs in India today.

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.
