2021 Volkswagen Taigun Launched in India | Compact SUV | carandbike

Volkswagen India has marked its entry into the company SUV space with the launch of the all-new Taigun. It is the first model from the German carmaker to be built on the new MQB-A0-IN platform, under the group’s India 2.0 strategy, and Taigun shares its underpinnings with the existing Skoda Kushaq. The SUV comes with two turbocharged petrol engine options - the 1.0-litre TSI and a 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine. Both come mated to a 6-speed manual, along with an optional 6-speed automatic torque converter for the 1.0-litre motor and an optional 7-speed DSG automatic for the more powerful 1.5 litre model. #volkswagen #taigun #suv #newcars #carlaunch #carandbike 0:00 - Introduction 0:12 - Volkswagen Taigun launched in India 0:32 - Volkswagen Taigun Variants Prices 0:49 - Taigun vs Kushaq vs Creta vs Seltos vs Duster 1:23 - Volkswagen Taigun Premium Features 2:13 - Volkswagen Taigun Safety Features 2:25 - Volkswagen Taigun Engine Options ➡️The much-anticipated Volkswagen Taigun is finally on sale in India.
