Hi, I test drove the Taigun 1.5 Automatic. I liked the driving experience but found the suspension a bit stiff on speed breakers, and it lacks 360 camera and ADAS. My monthly running is ∼1100 km, mostly highway. Could you suggest an alternative with better ride comfort, safety features, and reliability? You talked about AC issue of earlier version of this car, what about EPC & sudden stalling issues of earlier models? Is this vehicle compatible E20 petrol? Please answer these questions also in SWOT analysis video.

Fun to Drive, Solid on Highways. I recently drove the Volkswagen Taigun and honestly, the driving experience was really good. The first thing you notice is how stable the car feels, especially at higher speeds. It feels planted on the highway, and you don't get that nervous feeling when overtaking trucks or changing lanes. The steering feels nicely weighted, and the car responds well when you push the accelerator. The turbo petrol engine is quite fun to drive, especially on open roads. It feels like a car made for someone who actually enjoys driving rather than just travelling from one place to another. The suspension is slightly on the firmer side, so you do feel some bumps on bad roads, but the overall ride is comfortable enough. The seats are supportive, and the driving position gives you a good view of the road. The interiors could have been better for the price, especially in terms of some materials and fit and finish. Rear seat space is decent, but it's not the most spacious car in its segment. Also, if you're driving in heavy traffic regularly, the mileage might not impress you much. Overall, the Taigun feels solid, confident and genuinely enjoyable to drive. It's not perfect, but if driving pleasure, highway stability and engine performance matter more to you than having the most features, it's definitely worth considering. I'd recommend taking a proper test drive before making a decision.

Best car and comfortable seat. The Volkswagen Taigun is a stylish, 5-star safety-rated compact SUV celebrated for its razor-sharp driving dynamics, high-speed stability, and solid German build quality. However, it has a stiffer suspension at low speeds and a narrower cabin than rivals like the Hyundai.

User is saying about site visit, how is the road conditions to it, buy a car according to the place of usage, for bad roads, if you have chose VW, not sure if that's a good idea. I had some vibration in steering column in Virtus, not sure it's ok now after service, every review they have mentioned, car has stiffer suspension which is good for long drive, high speed stability, you have not done any long drive in this car, Bro. Check it first. If you don't do long drives, not sure why you chose VW, My Virtus Top end has mixed driving of good and bad roads, 21K km done in 1 year, Nice Car to drive. I don't regret buying VW bro.

I own the Taigun GT PLUS DSG for the past one year driven 9500 kms .Excellent fun to drive car .cannot expect mileage much but driven at speeds of 70 to 80 in highways the max mileage would be around 18 ,the ac could have been quicker to cool in hot conditions it takes time to cool (places like chennai) Suspension is very stiff small cuts in the road feels like a thud ( this is major let go from VW ) Sometimes the gear shifts in city traffic could be a little confusing but now I have learnt how to avoid this being light on the throttle , issue with wipers the right side wipers shudders in continuous usage never got a solution even changing the wiper blades, dismantling the entire wiper system and inspecting the service centre says all Taiguns the driver side wipers shudders ( poor design) And the screen goes blank sometimes now after switching off and on it comes back Overall enjoyed the driving experience in highways and the compactness in the city to park

Sorry brother. You are wrong in one place. The 1.5 DSG is jerky in slow city speeds particularly when tackling potholes and speed bumpers. It tends to shift to 1st gear when it should be in 2nd year. However on open roads, it is the best engine and gear box. Period…

I could purchased it but cost of spares is too high. I having alto 800 (12.5 years) and wagon r (13.5 years) but never need to replace injectors in any of these cars. In fact, In wagon R suspensions are stock. In alto, which covered 1,60,000 km, one time cluch replacement (Rs 12K) and front both side suspension replacement (Rs 5K for both, that too done by third party with original parts I think a skhoda, VW car in average will have a maintance + parts replacement cost of Rs 50K per year kyunki kuch parts replacement honge and that too very very expensive. And buddy believe me my last alto service cost was Rs 5K

Volkswagen Taigun Review. The Volkswagen Taigun is a stylish and well-built compact SUV. Its exterior design looks premium and sporty, while the interior offers a clean and practical layout. One of the biggest highlights of the Taigun is its driving experience. The car feels stable at high speeds and offers good handling, which makes it enjoyable to drive. The engine performance is also good for both city driving and highways. The interior quality is decent, and the seats are comfortable for daily use. It also comes with useful features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, connected-car features, and safety features. However, the rear-seat space and some interior plastics could be better, and the maintenance cost may be higher compared with some competitors. Overall, the Volkswagen Taigun is a good option for someone who wants a stylish, safe, and fun-to-drive compact SUV with a European feel.

Highly Recommended !. Taigun and have been extremely satisfied with my experience so far. The car offers a perfect combination of style, performance, and comfort. Its premium design, solid build quality, and modern features make it stand out in the compact SUV segment. The driving experience is excellent, with responsive handling, a powerful engine, and great stability on highways. The cabin feels spacious and well-designed, with comfortable seating and user-friendly technology features. Safety features are impressive, providing confidence during both city and long-distance drives. The ride quality is smooth, fuel efficiency is decent, and the overall fit and finish reflect Volkswagen’s commitment to quality. If you’re looking for a reliable, feature-packed, and enjoyable SUV, the Volkswagen Taigun is definitely worth considering. Highly recommended!

The German experience for everyday driving. Among the compact SUVs available today, the Volkswagen Taigun can be considered one of the most interesting cars, combining superb performance, safety and premium quality. Its attractive design and good driving dynamics will attract any person right away, and a comfortable interior will provide all the necessary conveniences for daily and long-distance trips. Thanks to its powerful turbo-petrol engine, this car ensures impressive performance and stability while cruising highways. Precise steering gives additional pleasure from driving this vehicle, and good quality of construction adds to confidence in it. Another important feature of the car is excellent safety and a premium feeling inside its cabin with a high comfort level. The fuel consumption of this model is pretty satisfying for an SUV. There can be found only few disadvantages in the VW Taigun; first of all, there is not as much advanced equipment as in some competitor models, and the rear seats of the car might be slightly cramped for tall people. Also, the car suspension is tuned more for safety than for extremely soft rides. In spite of that, the positive qualities of the Volkswagen Taigun greatly overshadow its disadvantages. It is definitely one of the best compact SUVs today.

I met this guy(who owns this car) 3months before in Kun Ambattur service center he talk to me about this issue and I also own VW taigun I don’t have any complaints on handling or performance, naturally this vehicle is stiff/hard suspension but this guy downgrading the VW due to this issue. I also recommend him soft Tyre change like Michelin or conti and also damping to reduce noise. But one thing old imported VW quality is not there in interior but i don’t see no issues, usually the steering in this model have little click sound or mild shake since this automatically adjust stiffness while driving in speed or slow.. I also bought in mount road Sundram and now servicing in ambatuur

I am a 1 month owner of Taigun 1.0L AT and every word that this guy said is 100% true. You need to get used to the jerk stop unless you are not a first time driver. I mostly use for home to office commute which goes through expressway and there it’s butter on roads with good steering wheel feedback at high speeds.

What he says is 100% true. One of the worst car that I ever owned in my lifetime. I faced lot of issues related to ergonomic, sensors, engine performance and suspension. Whatever issues you raise with service centre they simply say it exists in all cars and escape the situation. Technicians are the worst who doesn't know how to analyze an issue or to give a solution. I sold the car within 8 months of purchase with heavy loss. Never ever choose VW or SKODA now a days. It's purely a scam. Not worth the money we spend. It doesn't give pleasure rather it gives lot of stress after owning it.

Bro i'm using GT Plus 1.5 DSG variant from 2 yrs and 40K kms on the ODO. I too faced minor mechanical issues. 1.Try Lubricating your doors once by 3M tape on the sides of the door which might reduce the noise in bad patches 2.If there is a real issue in steering then replace the steering column rack which will be under warranty 3.Lubricate Brake caliper atleast 5K Kms once. (While you take a long turn and you get noise from brakes) Regarding the suspension set up, it is what it is, being a GT variant the set up will be slightly harder than in the 1 litre variants Apart from the mentioned minor mechanical issues car is a gem. May be you got to understand it better and show some love. I was using Polo for 10 yrs before switching to Taigun GT

After useing Taigun GT plus sports for 2 months my observations 1. Rideing Quality is amazing that you dont regret spending this much on this car and it drives like 30-40 lakh car 2.MRF Stock tyres can be better i was kinda disappointed seeing them at first but they do the job 3. milage In city it is very low i am getting 11-12 in mix traffic 8-10 in tight jams amd on highways it goes 13-15 with full load hopefully it will increase in future 4. I used to have vento compared to that fit and finish is not bad but i notice some things like way door opens all sounds are different, the way door shuts when windows are down there is some sound like windows are vibrating which i never notice in vento which i had for 9 years
