Volkswagen Taigun vs rivals: starting price

The entry-level Taigun Comfortline, which is only available with the 115hp, 1.0-litre TSI engine and manual gearbox, is now priced Rs 70,000 lower, down from Rs 11.70 lakh. This means starting prices for the Taigun now undercut rivals like the Toyota Hyryder (Rs 11.14 lakh) and Honda Elevate (Rs 11.69 lakh), and equal the Hyundai Creta and Maruti Grand Vitara’s Rs 11 lakh base price. However, the Kia Seltos (Rs 10.90 lakh) starts lower still.

Meanwhile, the higher-spec Taigun GT Plus Chrome trim, and the variant with the same name that gets added features – like power adjustable front seats, ambient lighting, a sub-woofer and an amplifier – are both priced at Rs 18.69 lakh, down Rs 75,000 and Rs 1.05 lakh, respectively. Volkswagen has also brought down prices of the current top-spec Taigun GT Edge by up to Rs 1.1 lakh; now all versions of this variant are priced at Rs 18.90 lakh. The Taigun GT Plus Chrome and GT Edge variants are both powered by a 150hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
