TT Score
The Volkswagen Taigun pairs punchy turbo-petrol outputs of up to 148 bhp with standard 6-airbag safety starting at an ex-showroom price of ₹11.00 lakh, though it remains a petrol-only proposition with noticeably split owner ratings.
Who it suits
- Highway performance seeker — The 1498 cc engine develops 148 bhp and 250 Nm of torque paired with a 7-speed DCT for effortless high-speed cruising.
- Daily urban commuter — A manageable 1760 mm body width combined with a claimed 19.5 kmpl from the torque converter automatic eases tight city traffic.
- Safety-minded entry buyer — The base 114 bhp 5-seater configuration includes 6 airbags at an estimated entry on-road cost starting at ~₹12.32 lakh in Delhi.
Worth knowing
- · Owner feedback shows a sharp divide, with a large pool of 519 owners rating it 3.5/5 while a much smaller group of 57 owners awarded 4.6/5.
- · Powertrain options are strictly limited to petrol across the entire ₹11.00 lakh to ₹19.30 lakh range, with no diesel or hybrid alternatives available.
- · At 1760 mm wide, the cabin packaging may feel snug when seating three adults across the second row of this 5-seater.
