Trending Questions on Volkswagen Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking to purchase a new car under 20-22 lacs within another 3 months. Actually, I'm a car enthusiast and love performance cars. I would be travelling within city everyday and out of the state once every 1-2 months. So, please suggest me accordingly.
The 1.5TSI versions of the Skoda Kushaq, Skoda Slavia, Volkswagen Taigun and Volkswagen Virtus, will certainly bring a smile to your face with their performance as well as dynamic prowess.
All these feel similar from behind the wheel, so pick the body style you prefer - sedan or SUV. Out of these, the Kushaq is likely to get updated in the coming weeks, so you may want to check that out before making your decision.
On the other hand, if you want a car that looks sporty, drives well, and has features like ADAS, you could also consider a Hyundai Creta N Line and Verna.
I have been driving a Honda Jazz Automatic for the last seven years. I am 6 feet tall and now want to buy a new compact SUV such as the Honda Elevate, Hyundai Creta, Skoda Kushaq, Grand Vitara, Brezza, or Taigun. Please advise which of these offers the best driver legroom so my knees are not strained. I am a retired 69-year-old.
I am looking for a 7-seater SUV with a budget of around โน70 lakh. Please suggest the best option, or should I wait for a year for more choices?
I want to buy a premium US or European car with a budget of around โน20-25 lakh. Please advise.
It's hard to recommend a car without knowing more about your requirements, like space, mileage, number of seats, etc. However, within your specific budget, no US options are available. From the European manufacturers, only the Skoda and Volkswagen cars are there.
We would recommend you look at the Skoda Kushaq or Volkswagen Taigun, which are essentially the same SUV. Also, if you would prefer a sedan, the Skoda Slavia and its sister car, the Volkswagen Virtus, are the options.
These sister models of Skoda and Volkswagen are essentially the same, sharing all their mechanical components and a lot of the exterior and interior bits too. Thus, choosing between them would come down to the level of dealer support in your area and your own preference in terms of the individual car's style.
Hey, team Autocar. I am 27 years old and currently own a Nexon petrol manual as my practical car and a Jimny manual as my fun car. I am now looking to buy a third car and am confused between the Harrier petrol manual and the Virtus GT manual. I take two road trips every year (approximately 5000 km each), one with my dad and another with my family of four. I want something bigger and more engaging for highway drives. My budget is around โน35 lakh. Please help me choose.
Hi. I have owned a Swift Dzire petrol for the last 10 years and I love sedans. I plan to upgrade with a budget of around โน20 lakh. I mostly do mixed driving in the city and on highways. Which car should I buy?
There is minimal choice in the sedan market today, and your best options are the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus, which have strong petrol engines, excellent ride and handling and a comfortable cabin.
They are ideal for your mix of city and highway drives and come with a high level of safety, too. If you are a regular driver and donโt want extra performance, then the 1.0 versions paired to the 6-speed automatic will work well for you.
Both the Slavia and Virtus are identical except for the design and a few feature differences across the variants. So the one to choose depends on your comfort with the dealer, the design, your affinity with the brand and the best deals you get.
I am planning to upgrade from a Polo. Should I go for the Citroen Basalt X or the Tata Sierra? My priorities are good build quality, driving dynamics, looks, and decent features.
Hey, I have been driving a Seltos diesel manual for the last 6 years and am planning to exchange it for a petrol automatic car. I am interested in the Volkswagen brand because of its strong build and engine quality. I am not interested in Maruti Suzuki due to concerns about engine performance, automatic gearboxes, and service experience. Please suggest which brand and model I should consider for my new car, and also where I can get a good rate for my old car.
Itโs true that Volkswagen cars are well-built and have strong engines. We donโt know your budget, but assuming you want a Kia Seltos replacement, the Volkswagen Taigun with the 1.5 TSI and 7-speed DCT is a good option.
It is rapid, feels sporty and stable, and has all the characteristics you are looking for in a Volkswagen. If you can extend your budget to around Rs. 40 lakh, then it might be worthwhile waiting for the Volkswagen Tayron, which is a seven-seater and is expected before March 2026.
We recommend listing your car on spinny.com, which is the best online platform to sell your car
Please suggest a new car from the shortlisted options: Skoda Kylaq, Skoda Kushaq, or Volkswagen Taigun with the 1.0-litre engine. You may also recommend other suitable alternatives.
I am the proud owner of a Volkswagen Jetta diesel automatic 2014. I am an anesthesiologist. I have to go for surgeries at any time at night, so safety is my concern. It has been 12 years since I bought my Jetta. Also, I suffered a major accident two years ago, and despite the airbags deploying, I survived due to the strong build quality of the Jetta. I replaced the airbags and dashboard of the Jetta and continued to use it. I want to buy a new vehicle, my daily running is 50 to 80km, and 3 to 4 times a week on highways. Which SUV should I buy?
