The Volkswagen Taigun had been teased for some time and created quite a buzz of its own—pun most certainly intended. The much-awaited car finally went on sale last year and got the ball rolling for Volkswagen.

It is key to note that the Taigun won not one but two prestigious awards at the Car India Awards: the Compact SUV of the Year and the big one, the Automobile of the Year. And it wasn’t just us.

Planned cohesive effort and a harmony of decisions and componentry will always make for a result that feels much, much more than the sum of its parts. That’s where the Taigun scores big-time!

The Volkswagen Taigun came around and got people hustling. It did so with ease, for it is a car that strikes a balance between every essential aspect and a lot of expected traits. Here’s what it is about.
