Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus, especially the variant with ventilated seats, is a compelling package in the mid-size SUV segment in India. From my experience, the Taigun GT Plus Sport stands out with its sporty yet elegant design, enhanced by the black treatment on the exterior and interior. The 1.5-litre TSI engine, paired with a 7-speed DSG transmission, delivers robust performance and refinement, making it a joy to drive both in city traffic and on the highway. The ride quality, although a bit firm at low speeds, is exceptional at higher speeds, and the handling is confidence-inspiring. The addition of ventilated seats, along with other comfort features like a digital cluster, a 10-inch infotainment screen, and a sunroof, makes the Taigun a comfortable and feature-rich option. However, the light steering and slightly noisy suspension at low speeds are minor drawbacks. Overall, the Taigun GT Plus Sport is a solid choice for those seeking a blend of performance, safety, and comfort.

Price

The Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus 1.5 TSI DSG, which includes features like ventilated seats, is priced at around Rs. 22.40 lakhs ex-showroom in Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other charges, the price can go up to approximately Rs. 26-27 lakhs, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the Taigun GT Plus competitively in the mid-size SUV market, offering a premium feel and extensive features at a price that is reasonable considering its performance and safety credentials. The value-for-money aspect is further enhanced by the 5-star GNCAP rating and the comprehensive list of safety features.
