Overview
- Volkswagen India unveiled the refreshed Taigun on Thursday, April 9, 2026, with production underway in Pune/Chakan, pre‑orders open, and pricing to be announced.
- The 1.0‑litre TSI now offers an 8‑speed torque‑converter automatic that replaces the 6‑speed unit, while the 1.5‑litre TSI sticks with a 7‑speed DSG and adds rear disc brakes on select trims.
- VW claims about a 5.8% fuel‑efficiency gain for the 1.0 TSI, which could lower running costs for city and highway use.
- Design and cabin updates include illuminated VW badges with full‑width light bars, revised head‑ and tail‑lamp graphics, new bumpers and alloys, a 10.25‑inch driver display, a 10.1‑inch infotainment system with Google‑cloud AI voice control, and a larger panoramic sunroof.
- Safety and support stay central with a retained 5‑star Global NCAP rating, six airbags and ESC, plus a standard 4‑year/100,000 km warranty, four years of roadside assistance and three free labour services, while media reports differ on a rear‑seat massage feature.
