We interpret versatility as per our own preferences but if there’s an SUV out there that defines it, it has to be the VW Taigun. This quintessentially VW SUV — in form and function — has captured hearts across India ever since it came into being and its popularity has only been skyrocketing over the years. It’s for reasons that are straightforward enough; the Taigun is simply designed to give you exactly what you desire.
When you spot a Taigun even in the most densely packed of spaces, you can tell it exudes an air of premiumness and sophistication that’s exclusive to cars with a VW badge. This feeling gets stronger when you step closer and absorb its design elements — from its machined 17-inch alloys to its flush roof rails, chiseled bodywork and its intelligently configured dimensions. The Taigun really is designed to impress.
More importantly, though, it’s been developed with India in mind. Among a few things unique to Indian driving conditions are our traffic density, cityscapes, highways and, of course, our incredible geographical diversity — the Taigun takes all of it into consideration. Courtesy its short overhangs, 188mm ground clearance, terrific all-round outward visibility and, of course, the ease of driving, the Taigun is tailormade for India, no matter what challenge you can think to throw at it.
It’s no surprise we’ve travelled extensively with it! It’s taken us to numerous trips to Goa and a particularly memorable one to Ladakh, and being in its cockpit is always a thing of tremendous comfort. With comfortable seating for 5 adults, an infotainment package that offers a great user experience, a long list of insightful features and a built-to-last feel, the Taigun is an ideal SUV for every kind of road trip you can come up with. It helps that its TSI engines (available in 1-litre and 1.5-litre spec) know a thing or two about munching miles. When you fancy it, it also effortlessly turns a shade of sporty that you (okay, we) just can’t get enough of. Above all else, the Taigun really stands out for its superb blend of space, safety and a fun driving experience.
If you’re looking for the perfect premium SUV for your family that can fit into the tightest of parking spots with as much ease as it can conquer mountains or do 1000km highway days, the Taigun is where your search ends. It’s an SUV for every road, emotion, personality and, in fact, everywhere your imagination wants to lead you. Ask us – we aren’t going to run out of reasons to get behind its wheel anytime soon!
