The Taigun is based on the latest MQB-A0 IN platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Skoda Kushaq. Both of them share the features as well as the engines and transmissions list, but are very different in terms of styling.

Safety features on board include up to six airbags, ABS with EBD, a rear parking camera, electronic stability control, and traction control. 

The Taigun will be powered by 115PS 1-litre and 150PS 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines. While both will get a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, the smaller engine will get an optional 6-speed automatic and the 1.5-litre will be offered with a 7-speed DSG (dual-clutch automatic).
