Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus Sport is a compelling package that combines sporty elegance with exceptional performance and safety. From my perspective, this variant stands out with its black-themed exterior and interior, which gives it a distinct and sophisticated look. The 1.5L TSI EVO engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG transmission, delivers a thrilling driving experience, especially in Sport mode. The cars handling and ride quality are noteworthy, making it comfortable for both city driving and long highway cruises. However, the slightly stiff suspension and low-speed DSG lag are minor drawbacks. Overall, the Taigun GT Plus Sport is a solid choice for those seeking a fun-to-drive, safe, and feature-rich compact SUV.

Price

The Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus Sport is priced at around 19.74 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to approximately 22-23 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. In my opinion, this pricing is competitive given the extensive list of features, the powerful engine, and the superior safety ratings. The GT Plus Sport variant offers a good balance of performance, comfort, and safety, making it a value-for-money proposition in the compact SUV segment.
