Perfect Blend of Performance and Efficiency

Power and efficiency come together seamlessly in the Taigun 1.0l TSI. This renowned powertrain, paired with either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, delivers an exhilarating drive while optimizing fuel economy.

The TSI engine utilizes three advanced technologies—Stratified Direct Fuel Injection (FSI), downsizing, and turbocharging—to achieve higher performance than larger engines. This results in:

• Maximum power with minimal fuel consumption.
• Significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
• A relaxed driving experience with minimal shifting.

The Volkswagen Taigun is among the safest SUVs in India, having earned a 5-star rating in Global NCAP’s updated crash tests. It’s one of the first models in India to achieve five stars for both adult and child occupant protection. With over 40 active and passive safety features, including six airbags as standard, the Taigun provides an unparalleled level of safety for all its occupants.

Immersive In-Cabin Experience

The digital cockpit offers crucial driving information in crisp detail, while a customizable interface allows drivers to switch between analogue and digital formats, adding a personal touch to the driving experience.

The 6-speaker audio system ensures the audiophiles in the car are happy at all times, making the dullest of moments cheerful!

Drive and Comfort

Comfort meets thrill in the Taigun. Its SUV design provides ample legroom and headroom and the superior quality of seats and cushioning further enhances small trips to the mall and long expeditions comfortable without sacrificing the assured driving dynamics that Volkswagen’s German engineering guarantees

The Taigun’s generous ground clearance further strengthens its SUV credentials, making it a ‘go-anywhere’ vehicle. Whether it’s a smooth highway or a rugged path, the Taigun handles it all with ease.

National Record Holder

The Taigun 1.0l TSI broke the national record for maximum distance for most distance covered by an SUV under 1.0l engine capacity in 24 hours, doing 4423.82 kilometers. At the same event, another 1.0l Taigun achieved the best fuel efficiency by a turbo-petrol engine by achieving 29.8 km/l while covering 1305 kilometers without swapping its tyres.
