The Volkswagen Taigun is a solid, good-to-drive midsize SUV that also happens to be very safe, with a 5-star Global NCAP rating. It comes with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol or a punchier 1.5-litre turbo petrol, with manual, automatic and DSG gearboxes. Inside there is a 10-inch touchscreen and a digital cockpit, and prices run from about Rs 10.99 lakh to Rs 19.30 lakh (ex-showroom).
The photos below take you around the Taigun inside and out, so you can see how it blends German build with everyday practicality. A well-kept used Taigun on Spinny costs a good deal less than a new one.
