Safety features include 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, front and rear parking sensors, traction control, hill-hold assist, and ISOFIX child seat mounts, among other features.
The new Taigun also carries over its 5-star safety rating from the outgoing model.
The Taigun facelift continues with the same petrol engine options as before. These include a 1.0-litre engine producing 114 bhp and 178 Nm, and a 1.5-litre engine making 148 bhp and 250 Nm.
