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.

Pros Cons of Volkswagen Polo

Pros

  • TSI technology boosts performance
  • The petrol engine is efficient
  • Driving dynamics remain unchanged and that’s a big plus

Cons

  • Design remains unchanged
  • A Diesel engine could have been advantageous as it opens up to a new set of buyers
  • There are no new features on the car

Verdict

The Polo remains at the top of the table when it comes to driving experience in the premium hatchback segment. Volkswagen have got everything right with the car but the addition of features would have been helpful.
