Overview

  • Volkswagen India launched the refreshed Taigun on Tuesday with prices from Rs 10.99 lakh to Rs 19.29 lakh ex-showroom across 11 variants.
  • The 1.0-litre TSI now offers an Aisin-sourced 8-speed torque-converter automatic, while the 1.5-litre TSI continues with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and gains rear disc brakes on select trims.
  • The update brings larger digital displays, a new infotainment system with voice control, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated power front seats, illuminated VW logos and a connected LED light bar, with six airbags standard.

  • Dealers are clearing outgoing Taigun stock with reported discounts of up to about Rs 3 lakh in April, reflecting pressure in a segment led by the Creta, Seltos, Kushaq and other rivals.
