Pros Cons of Tata Nexon

Pros

  • Refreshed cabin with new equipment
  • Enhanced safety with five-star rating
  • Impressive ride quality

Cons

  • Diesel engine less refined than rivals
  • Fit and finish could be better

Verdict

The new Nexon is a strong contender in the sub-four metre compact SUV segment. It outshines new crossovers in space, features, safety, performance, etc., with added premium features and cosmetic updates. Though its futuristic styling might polarise buyers, upgraded equipment, and interior quality make it a compelling choice.

Pros Cons of Volkswagen Taigun

Pros

  • Strong chassis and planted highway behaviour
  • Five-star Global NCAP safety rating
  • Engaging 1.5-litre DSG performance
  • Balanced ride quality on 16-inch wheels
  • Clean infotainment interface with wireless connectivity

Cons

  • No diesel or hybrid option
  • The rear seat width restricts three adults
  • Touch-sensitive climate controls require attention
  • Firm low-speed ride on 17-inch variants
  • No Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

Verdict

The Volkswagen Taigun does not try to win by sheer specification. Instead, it is about the basics: steering feel, chassis balance and structural safety. The 1.5-litre DSG variant is suited for those who enjoy good mid-range performance and sharp gearshifts. The 1.0-litre versions are good enough for everyday commuting.

Siddharth summarised it well during testing:

“It feels like a proper Volkswagen." The balance, the ride, the way that it holds the road, that's where it scores.”

The Taigun may not have the most spacious cabin or feature list in its class. However, for buyers who value composure at speed and confidence behind the wheel, it is still one of the most sorted compact SUVs in the segment.
