Volkswagen Taigun, a new fighter in Hot Compact SUV battle !!



Ethicaly, Sports Utility Vehicle aka SUV were the cars specially made for Off-Roading Stuff & not for city driving due to lack of fuel efficiency these vehicles used to offer. But now this SUV Segment is very much diversified with many sub-categories discovered under it. Compact SUV is one these innovations, which are basically made for city driving conditions with less of bulk as well as smaller engines & increased fuel efficiency

Talking about India, this trend started with Renault Duster followed by the forthcoming Ford EcoSport & inplan Chevrolet Trax, Maruti Suzuki XA-Alpha & Volkswagen Taigun.
VW Taigun is a 5 seater SUV measuring, a length of 3.86 mtrs. & a width of 1.86 mtrs. May be the plans of VW UP coming to India postponed but this UP based SUV will be launched in India by the end of 2013 or in early 2014 as confirmed by Volkswagen's senior official Ulrich Hackenberg.

Exterior of Taigun is very much like it's own elder brother Touraeg. Wearing 17 inches 205/50 R17 tyres with a great ground clearence makes it a full SUV package. Boot space of 280 Ltrs. increasing to 987 Ltrs. when the rear seats are folded down. Talking about the inside, car's cockpit gives you a true futuristic feel & for sure a real eye catcher.




Internationaly, Taigun is powered by the much talked about EA211 series - turbocharged 1 Ltr. petrol engine which produces a great 110 PS of max. power & 175 Nm of max. torque plus a fuel efficiency of 21 Kmpl. But anaylising the increasing diesel car trend in India, it is expected to launch with same VW Polo 1.2 Ltrs. diesel unit.

Eager to buy this car ?? Then wait till 2014 when it will officialy launch in India. As if now it looks like a great package which will give a tough time to Renault Duster & Ford EcoSport.
