Volkswagen has officially launched the updated Taigun in India, starting at an attractive Rs 10.99 lakh (ex-showroom). If you’ve been eyeing this SUV, you can now book yours for a deposit of Rs 11,000.
One of the standout deals this time is Volkswagen’s buyback program. If you book before May 31, 2026, the company guarantees a resale value of up to 75% of the car’s original price after three years (or 30,000 km), making it a much safer investment.
| Variant | Transmission | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|---|
| Comfortline | Manual | Rs 10.99 Lakh |
| Highline | Manual / Auto | Rs 12.70 – 13.80 Lakh |
| Highline Plus | Manual / Auto | Rs 14.30 – 15.45 Lakh |
| GT Line | Manual / Auto | Rs 14.60 – 15.75 Lakh |
| Topline | Manual / Auto | Rs 16.00 – 17.18 Lakh |
| GT Plus Chrome | DSG (Automatic) | Rs 19.00 Lakh |
| GT Plus Sport | DSG (Automatic) | Rs 19.30 Lakh |
While the Taigun keeps its familiar shape, it looks much "sharper" now thanks to several premium upgrades:
- Modern Lighting: New light strips across the grille and trunk, plus glowing VW logos.
- Fresh Accents: Redesigned bumpers, new 17-inch alloy wheels, and silver roof rails.
- A Personal Touch: The car now features "Welcome" and "Goodbye" light animations when you lock or unlock it.
Interior & Tech Upgrades
Inside, the cabin feels sportier and more high-end. Key features include:
- Digital Cockpit: A large 10.25-inch screen for the driver and a wireless phone charger.
- Comfort: Ventilated front seats (perfect for Indian summers), a sunroof, and a premium 6-speaker sound system.
- Sporty Vibes: Red stitching on the seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel.
Performance: A Major Gearbox Update
Volkswagen has kept its two popular engines but improved the driving experience:
- 1.0L Turbo Petrol: Now comes with a smoother 8-speed automatic gearbox (replacing the old 6-speed).
- 1.5L Turbo Petrol: Stays powerful with the DSG gearbox, but now includes rear disc brakes for better stopping power.
Safety First
The Taigun remains a powerhouse in safety, packed with features like:
- 6 Airbags and Stability Control (ESC).
- Parking sensors (front and rear) and Hill-hold assist.
- ISOFIX mounts for child seats and Traction Control.
With a more modern look, a better automatic gearbox for the base engine, and a strong buyback guarantee, the Taigun Facelift is a compelling choice for anyone looking for a premium, safe, and fun-to-drive SUV.
