Volkswagen Taigun 1.0 Petrol Manual, Road Test Review
✅ Suspension is very suitable for most of the driving conditions & perfectly balanced.
✅ Looks Fantastic there is no doubt about it.
✅ The best ride & handling car in the segment. Has created a benchmark in it.
✅ Infotainment system is good and responsive to use, but still not the best in segment.
✅ Loaded with lot of features like the 6 Airbag, Wireless charger, ventilated seats etc...
✅ Steering has great feel & feedback, best in segment.
✅ Brakes offer good stopping power, even though it gets drum at the rear.
✅ Headlights are of LED Projector setup & offers great illumination at night.
Cons :-
❌ 3 Cylinder engine at this price point is not acceptable. Also the engine is not well refined and the vibration is felt a lot. They have even cost cut for insulation at the engine bay.
❌ Misses out electric adjustment for driver seat.
❌ The space for 3rd person at the rear is not good.
❌ The quality of material & fit finish is not an real skoda/VW as they have cost cutted a lot as it is made in India for India. Lot of hard plastic, worst fit & finish and panel gaps are felt a lot.
❌ Petrol engine is an fuel guzzler, beleive me it only delivers 10 to 12 KMPL in average.
❌ The ventilation seats are too noisy while using.
❌ Doesn't get 360° camera and even the reverse camera quality is very poor and doesn't get adaptive guidelines.
❌ One kind suggestion if you look for VW Taigun better go for 1.5 L it's not only powerful but also fuel efficient too ( Cylinder Deactivation Technology )
❌ Final thing misses out diesel engine, nothing can offer the power and mileage of a diesel car that too in this segment.
