Volkswagen has launched the Taigun at Rs 10.49 lakh (introductory prices ex-showroom Delhi). It is the seventh compact SUV on sale in India right now. Here are its variant-wise prices:

The Taigun is based on the MQB-A0 IN platform, sharing its underpinnings, engines, and transmission options with the Skoda Kushaq. That said, the two offerings have distinct design elements, of course.

The Taigun’s cabin is finished in dual-tone black and ivory shade with brushed silver inserts on the dashboard, steering wheel, and door handles. It features a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, connected car technology, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an 8-inch digital instrument cluster, red ambient lighting, ventilated seats, an electric sunroof, wireless charging, cruise control, rear AC vents, LED headlamps and tail lamps.

Passenger safety will be taken care of by up to six airbags, ABS with EBD, a rear parking camera, electronic stability control, hill hold control, tyre pressure monitoring system, electronic differential locking, and traction control.

The 1.5-litre engine gets Active Cylinder Tech (ACT), which can shut down two (of its four cylinders) under minimum stress to maximise fuel efficiency. That’s why its manual and automatic variants are more fuel-efficient than the smaller 1-litre engine.
