Trending Questions on Volkswagen Taigun - Answered by Autocar Experts
I plan to replace my 2020 Ford Freestyle with a turbo model that delivers better stability, ride comfort, and more power. My budget is ₹20 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.
I’m planning to buy an automatic car (or electric) with a budget of ₹18–25 lakh. I want an automatic with no noticeable “rubber-band” effect, and I prefer strong performance. I’m 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.
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 ₹15 lakh. I’d like space, a premium feel and good ride quality. Please recommend 2–3 best options. Should I consider a sedan or stick to SUVs? I like the Alcazar but I’m unsure about spending over ₹20 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.
I’m planning to buy a car in the ₹20 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.
My family has grown since I bought my first car, a Hyundai Elite i20 Asta CVT. Now we’re 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 ₹50–55 lakh. I’m currently considering the Volkswagen Virtus GT Plus and waiting for the Mahindra XEV 7e (electric for experience & cost).
Hello Team, I need advice on my next car purchase. My budget is around ₹18 lakh, and we are a family of five. Most driving will be in the city, with occasional highway trips once every six months. I prefer an SUV, not a sedan. I have test-driven the VW Taigun and Honda Elevate, both automatics, as I need an automatic. The Elevate offers more features, while the Taigun 1.5 offers more power. Please guide me on which would be the better buy.
The Taigun 1.5 TSI DSG might not fit into your ₹18 lakh (on-road) budget. The Honda Elevate, price ranges between ₹13.08 lakh and ₹19.19 lakh (on-road in Mumbai), which falls within your range.
If you liked the drive experience, you should definitely go for it. The Elevate is a very comfortable car with good driving manners. Its engine delivers strong performance, so you will never feel short of power, even when traveling with five people on the highway.
I am planning to buy a car in the ₹12 lakh range and was considering the Kylaq. However, I realized it’s a bit smaller, so I can stretch my budget up to ₹16 lakh and am considering the Kushaq or Taigun if a decent variant fits in that range. We are a family of four (husband, wife, and two kids) and prefer an automatic.
I have shortlisted three compact SUVs: Honda Elevate Automatic, Taigun GT Automatic, and Hyryder. My car will mostly be used in city conditions in Delhi, with two or three long-distance highway trips (about 1,000 km each) in a year. City commuting will average around 50 km daily. I want a good combination of safety, performance, and mileage. Which of these three cars should I choose? Please also suggest if there are any better options available.
Which is the best car in terms of safety, reliability, driveability, and fuel efficiency? The options I am considering are the Thar, Taigun, and Kushaq. Also, is it okay to go for a diesel car?
The Mahindra Thar is a bit of an outlier among these three options. It’s the only 3-door model, the only one built on a tough body-on-frame chassis, and the only one that comes with a diesel engine. Going for a diesel SUV is absolutely fine, in fact, the lack of diesel options in the Taigun and Kushaq petrol variants can be a disadvantage if you value fuel efficiency and torque for highway or off-road driving.
If the Thar is going to be your second or third car that will be used occasionally for off-road trips or wilderness drives, then it’s a compelling choice, and the 1.5-litre diesel is significantly cheaper too.
However, in terms of refinement, comfort, driveability, and on-road sophistication, the Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq are far superior. They are smoother, more comfortable, and easier to drive daily, making them better all-rounders for city and highway use.
