It is offered only with two petrol engines – a 115hp, 175Nm, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit or a 150hp, 250Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged unit – both of which get manual and automatic options.

    The Taigun is currently priced between Rs 10.90 lakh and Rs 18.70 lakh, as there are special offers available on entry-level and top-spec variants. In addition, potential buyers of the Taigun could avail of up to Rs 3.07 lakh in discounts and benefits during the festive season.

    A little over a year after its launch, the Volkswagen Taigun secured a five-star Global NCAP crash-test rating, and in June this year, the SUV was fitted with six airbags as standard.
