Buyback scheme
Volkswagen introduces assured buyback program for Taigun
Along with the launch of the new Taigun, Volkswagen has also introduced an assured buyback program. The scheme promises up to 75% of the ex-showroom price as residual value for ownership up to three years or 30,000km. This initiative is applicable on bookings made until May 31, 2026 and aims at reducing long-term ownership concerns while boosting resale confidence among customers.
Design updates
New Taigun looks modern with illuminated VW logos
The new Taigun sports a sleeker, more modern face in line with Volkswagen's global SUV design language. It gets a slimmer grille, redesigned LED headlamps connected by a light bar, and an illuminated VW logo on the front as well as rear. The silhouette remains familiar but new 17-inch gloss-black alloy wheels add to its appeal. Inside, the cabin retains its basic layout but gets updated trims and upholstery with dual-tone themes. A panoramic sunroof is also available.
Interior upgrades
It gets an updated infotainment system
The new Taigun gets a bigger 10.25-inch digital driver's display and an updated 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with improved graphics and AI voice functionality. Other highlights include ventilated and power-adjustable front seats, wireless smartphone connectivity, ambient lighting, wireless charging, and an improved air conditioning system. Mechanically, the SUV continues with its existing turbo-petrol engine options of 1.0-liter TSI producing 115hp/178Nm torque while the bigger 1.5-liter TSI delivers a more powerful output of 150hp/250Nm torque.
Safety credentials
The SUV retains its 5-star Global NCAP safety rating
The updated Volkswagen Taigun comes with six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, traction control, hill-hold assist and ISOFIX mounts as standard. It retains its 5-star safety rating, making it a preferred choice among safety-conscious buyers. However, it misses out on ADAS features. The SUV competes in the mid-size SUV segment against rivals such as Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara and Honda Elevate, among others.
