Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Taigun Anniversary Edition AT is a compelling choice in the compact SUV segment, especially for those who value a blend of performance, comfort, and features. From my experience, the Taigun stands out with its exceptional ride quality and handling, making it a drivers delight. The 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI engines offer punchy performance, although the 1.0-litre might feel slightly underpowered for some. The interior is well-appointed, but the rear seats can become uncomfortable for three adults. Despite some minor issues like engine noise in the cabin and occasional connectivity problems with the infotainment system, the overall ownership experience has been positive for many owners. The Taiguns safety features are top-notch, and the build quality is robust. However, the boot space is somewhat limited, and the fuel efficiency can vary significantly between city and highway driving. Overall, its a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and enjoyable driving experience.

Price

The Volkswagen Taigun Anniversary Edition AT is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for this variant starts around 16.3 lakh, depending on the location and any additional features or editions. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can range from 19 lakh to 22 lakh. This pricing positions the Taigun favorably against its competitors like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. The value-for-money aspect is enhanced by the comprehensive list of features, including premium interior upgrades and advanced safety features. However, its important to note that prices can vary by region and any customizations or additional accessories will add to the final cost.

Latest Updates

Monday, 15 May 2023 08:16 AM Volkswagen has discontinued the Taigun Anniversary Edition, making it no longer available for purchase. This decision comes as the company introduces the new Taigun GT Edge Limited Collection. The Anniversary Edition was launched in September 2022 to mark the first anniversary of the SUV. I think this move is a good way to keep the model fresh and exciting for buyers.

Wednesday, 02 November 2022 01:03 AM The Taigun Anniversary Edition AT was available only in the Dynamic Line, Topline variant and featured a unique Rising Blue paint shade among other cosmetic changes. It also included upgraded fog lamps, black ORVM covers, and a black roof wrap. The interior saw minor changes, including a 1st badge on the steering wheel and aluminium pedals on the AT variant. I believe these touches added a nice premium feel to the car.

Tuesday, 01 November 2022 05:55 AM To celebrate the first anniversary of the Taigun, Volkswagen launched the Anniversary Edition, which included several exclusive features such as a C-pillar decal with hexagonal elements and edge protectors on all doors. The car also featured a blue-coloured garnish on the door cladding, exclusive to this edition. I think these design elements made the car stand out.

Wednesday, 02 November 2022 01:12 AM The Taigun Anniversary Edition AT was part of a special launch event at the Aamby Valley Air Strip, where Volkswagen showcased the cars capabilities. The event coincided with the Taigun and Skoda Kushaq receiving 5-star ratings in the updated Global NCAP crash tests, highlighting their safety credentials. This was a great way to build confidence in the model.

Tuesday, 01 November 2022 08:16 PM The Volkswagen Taigun Anniversary Edition AT retained the same engine and transmission options as the regular model, with the 1.0 TSI engine available in both manual and automatic transmissions. This ensured that the performance and driving experience remained consistent with the standard model. I think this was a wise decision to maintain the cars reliability.

Tuesday, 01 November 2022 07:21 PM The Anniversary Edition of the Taigun AT included additional features such as ventilated seats, which were announced to be available soon for the 1.5L engine variants as well. This move was aimed at enhancing the comfort and luxury of the vehicle. I believe such features are crucial for customer satisfaction.

Thursday, 01 September 2022 04:20 PM Volkswagen introduced the Taigun Anniversary Edition in September 2022, marking one year since the SUVs launch in India.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 12:42 AM The mileage of the Volkswagen Taigun Anniversary Edition AT varies based on driving conditions. In city driving, owners have reported mileage ranging from 10 to 12 kmpl, which is reasonable given the traffic conditions in Indian cities. On highways, the mileage improves significantly, with many owners reporting around 14-17 kmpl without cruise control and up to 19 kmpl with cruise control engaged. The 1.5-litre TSI engine, in particular, offers better fuel efficiency on long drives. However, driving style and the use of air conditioning can impact these figures. Overall, the Taiguns fuel efficiency is decent, making it a practical choice for both city and highway driving.
