➡️The new Volkswagen Taigun drives into India's fastest growing car segment - the compact SUV. The Taigun launches with two engine types - the 1.5 four cylinder petrol and 1.0 TSI three cylinder petrol.
➡️The engine on the car is well proven globally. the 1.5 TSI makes 148 bhp and produces 250 Nm of peak torque that runs all the way from 1500 to 3500 rpm. The Taigun gets a 1.0 TSI too with 113 bhp on tap.
➡️The Taigun with the 1.5-litre engine gets the cylinder deactivation system which cuts off two cylinders when you are coasting, aiding in better fuel efficiency.
➡️The Volkswagen Taigun also does well on rough and broken roads, and some pebbly tracks.
➡️The GT models are expected with the 6-airbags as standard. Electronic Stability Control or ESC is standard, so is traction control, rear parking sensors, I love that 3-point seatbelts are standard for all 5 passengers.
➡️The Taigun's 1 litre variant should start at ₹ 9.99 lakh in my opinion, and the car should top off at a maximum ₹ 17 lakh. But expect pricing to mirror the Kushaq's. That means ₹ 10.5 - 16 lakh for the 1.0, and between ₹ 16 and 18 lakh for the two cars we have showed you today.
➡️The Taigun launches in mid-September, and that's when the actual prices will be out.
