Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Taigun 1.5 GT Plus EVO DSG is a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of performance, comfort, and features in the mid-size SUV segment. The 1.5 TSI EVO engine, paired with the 7-speed DSG gearbox, is a standout, offering effortless performance and a seamless driving experience, whether in city traffic or on the highway. The Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) enhances fuel efficiency without compromising on power. However, the slightly stiff suspension and narrow sidewalls on the 17-inch alloys can make the ride a bit bumpy, especially at low speeds. Despite this, the Taiguns sporty demeanor, comfortable seating, and robust feature list, including a digital cluster and wireless Apple CarPlayAndroid Auto, make it a strong contender. For those who value driving dynamics and a sporty vibe, the Taigun GT Plus is an excellent option.
