Trending Questions on Volkswagen Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am looking to buy a petrol automatic, preferably a sedan. My on-road budget is โน20 lakh. What are my options?
Given your requirement and budget, you currently have four options. The Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus are mechanically identical, and they stand out for their punchy turbo petrol engine options and ride and handling balance.
The Honda City has a refined 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine and has the best back seat. The Hyundai Verna, meanwhile, has the most features, and it can be had with either a turbo-petrol or a naturally-aspirated petrol engine.
The Slavia, Virtus and Verna have also received a full, 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP.
I plan to replace my 2020 Ford Freestyle with a turbo model that delivers better stability, ride comfort, and more power. My budget is โน20 lakh - which turbo options should I consider?
As per your requirements, you should choose between the Skoda Kushaq and the Volkswagen Taigun. Both midsize SUVs offer decent ride comfort, good high-speed stability and both come with powerful 150hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines.
You'll also appreciate both SUVs' driving dynamics. Both are mechanically identical and differ only in terms of exterior and interior design. Dealers will also be offering sizeable year-end discounts on both.
VW Taigun vs Skoda Kushaq. Which would be better for city usage, with a maximum of 500-600 km a month? My budget is below 18 lakh.
Iโm planning to buy an automatic car (or electric) with a budget of โน18โ25 lakh. I want an automatic with no noticeable โrubber-bandโ effect, and I prefer strong performance. Iโm deciding between the Tata Sierra, Tata Harrier, Skoda Kushaq, or the Sierra in petrol - which should I choose and why?
Since you prefer performance and like to drive, the Volkswagen Taigun or Skoda Kushaq will be a better choice.
While we are yet to sample the Sierra on the road, it isn't the sort of SUV to be designed for spirited driving. An even better option compared to these would be the Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus.
They are sedans, but still get good ground clearance and are superb to drive. The 1.5 TSI engine offers excellent performance, and they are well-equipped and practical too.
I want to upgrade from a Grand i10 to a new car within a budget of Rs 20 lakh. I drive around 1,200 km per month, and do around 2,000 km long drives every quarter. Please suggest the best option.
After 13 years of driving a Jazz, I want to buy a new car for my family of three plus a dog. We live in a small city and drive very little, but take occasional weekend trips. My budget is flexible, ideally around โน15 lakh. Iโd like space, a premium feel and good ride quality. Please recommend 2โ3 best options. Should I consider a sedan or stick to SUVs? I like the Alcazar but Iโm unsure about spending over โน20 lakh for my needs.
You might want to consider the Kia Syros - a quirky, boxy compact SUV, with high-quality interiors and a surprisingly spacious cabin. It's a 60:40 split seats slide and fold too, adding flexibility, and its rear windows roll fully down, which is a positive for your pet. If you want something that's larger and more premium, you may want to check out the Skoda Kushaq and VW Taigun, both of which are nicer to drive, especially for your outstation trip.
Iโm planning to buy a car in the โน20 lakh range and have been considering the new Hyundai Venue. Should I go with the Venue, or opt for the Hyundai Creta or Skoda Taigun instead?
It is hard to recommend a car without knowing more about your needs, like driving pleasure, mileage, safety, rear space, etc. However, on a broad level we would recommend the Creta. It is a very good all-rounder. The Venue will be better if you are looking for a compact car for crowded areas, and the VW Taigun is a good car for those looking for driving pleasure.
I need to buy my second car purely for driving pleasure. Budget is within โน25 lakh, and I definitely want an ICE petrol vehicle. Sedan, SUV, or MUV, anything works. Please advise.
I want to upgrade my Swift ZXI. Which automatic car is the best option within a budget of โน20 lakh?
My family has grown since I bought my first car, a Hyundai Elite i20 Asta CVT. Now weโre six members: me, my wife, two kids, and two elders. We need two cars: one primarily driven by me and one for my wife. Our daily commute totals about 50 km across both vehicles, mostly within the city on highway-like routes. We also take 4-5 trips a year with the whole family. The combined budget for both cars is โน50โ55 lakh. Iโm currently considering the Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus and waiting for the Mahindra XEV 7e (electric for experience & cost).
