Hello TB! Sedans do talk differently. But the logic of why to get one is so hard to argue against!

Great episode. We acquired a 1.5 DSG Taigun (Lava Blue) in September, and as happy Polo owners since 2010, there was no other car on the market that would've cut it. The Taigun may not be German enough in some regards that older VWs were, and doesn't have quite the pizzazz that the Koreans offer, but its still a sublime experience that will make you slowly fall in love with the car and then there's nothing else that comes close. The 1.5L motor is gem with imperceptible gear shifts, and with my dad's extremely light foot, returns an insane 22-24 kmpl on highway runs (with 2-cylinder mode) while still having the beast mode on tap if you press your foot down. Another thing - My uncle had got a i20 when we got our Polo, and now their car looks like a 13-14 year old car with faded plastics and rusted panels; whereas our Polo just looks a couple of years old. Since we intend to keep the Taigun for a good 15 years at least, that kind of agelessness is what VW delivers that very few other brands do. As for why not the Virtus, its too long for our use case!

After driving a used Verna for around 4years, I bought a Kushaq 1.0 MT in October ‘23 for a change. As much as I love driving the Kushaq, I must agree that the clutch could and shoud have been a bit lighter. But that is something we can get used to in a few weeks time. During test drives, I felt Taigun’s suspension is a bit on the stiffer side as compared to its sibling. So I think Kushaq handles the bad roads a bit better. (NGL once in a while you get the ‘Ouch!!’ feeling when passing over a relatively larger pothole.) There are a few other issues as well which are not expected from VAG, like window roll noise and a better AC. However, inspite of all these issues, its put a big smile on your face every time you stel on to the gas.

The point Karthikeya has raised about the seating comfort is actually spot on, the seats did feel exceptional in the Taigun, even for the middle seat of the 2nd row. What took me by surprise was the fact that, these seats were a touch more comfortable than the ones on the Elevate.

Got the Kushaq 1.5 TSI DCT back in January. It's been lovely, just about to cross 4000kms on the odo. Air con has its ups and downs but for the most of the part it works good. One thing I found most annoying is the seatbelt buckle positioning, my driver's side also seems to be a bit fidgety. I'm sure I can get that fixed at the service center. Another thing I believe it misses out on is the ability to change skins in the infotainment system. Been thinking of getting sun shades or some UV tint along with a dual trumpet horn since the one installed right now doesn't sound very german. Also, the gear shifting from 1st to 2nd makes a jittery sound and the gearbox seems to struggle at a lower speed mostly at a turn. Anyway, Great Video MotorInc!

Very well put. I am the biggest fan of VWs and was in the market for a compact or urban SUV as you call it. Test drove everything and the Taigun 1.5 was definitely the best to drive but everything else about it was such a let down. 10 year old Octavias and Polos felt better inside than the Kushaq or the Taigun and I’m not talking features. Just the feel. There were creaking noises and everything you touched felt cheap. I so wanted the Taigun to be a winner on all fronts. When you pay almost 23 lac (Bangalore rates ), you must feel special getting inside the car everyday even if you have to just crawl through traffic for 30 mins. At this price there are used Kodiaqs in the market. Finally settled for the Seltos Turbo DCT (wife had a say too). It isn’t bad to drive at all. And feels like a car worth the price. Yes, safety is a concern but had to make a decision. So far pretty happy with the Seltos. I come out fresh even after 400kms of driving. Everything is just sorted. Hoping Taigun gets a facelift soon.

I have a couple of questions, Kartikeya as I'm mulling over the Taigun because of the tasty offers and need for a second car (like the crossover look, not interested in the Germanness per se): 1. Is there are workaround on the ACs, i.e. imagine Delhi summers ith 45-46 degrees. If the Taigun AC is put to 16 (lowest) and left with fan speed maximum and idle start-stop off, even then does it help cool the cabin optimally in max 10 mins or not? Or is it just a lost cause. 2. Exactly how stiff is the ride in cities? Say there are those rumbles on service roads or just before traffic lights where car's in low speed... will the ride be bumpy enough to hurt the back, especially with elders sitting in the car?

Hey Kunal! The only workaround is to get heat rejecting clear films, give some cool down time and hope for more open roads so that the cabin cools faster. On t most days you’ll manage.

Do let us know if you have any other queries. And, all the best.

Despite this, the engine performs well, never feeling underpowered. The car handles excellently with stable highway driving and impressive steering feedback.

Can some one suggest Which is better for under 16 L. Fuel,.safety (ok), looks , better boot space, 5 members comfort, resale and maintenance should cover. Tell me one. Thinking of grand vitara ..what you say?

The 1.5 NA if grand vitara is the most underpowered in the segment, it's the same engine from brezza for godsake. I have test driven the brezza and the engine does fine for a full house and under city conditions where the rpm doesn't exceed 3k. You wouldn't recognise the lack of power. But things are different in highway where the engine feels a bit strainer when you push it. If you are primarily going to use it for city and occasional highway trips then grand vitara would be a good choice, if it's the vice versa then you can consider the Creta

Hullo PH, we rate the GV highly. It’s great for city use and highways. The only caveat as Manoj mentioned is that you just drive a bit calmly.

Well, we don't want you to buy it only because of Kartikeya's voice @gauravjhala6268. Take his opinions and definitely get a test ride. The voice is just a bonus!

You are spot on with your Review. Yes, it's less German than Polo or Vento. But good enough as far as Safety is concern. Apart from being small it offers noisy Cabin, lacks good feature list among the midsized SUVs. Doubts on After-Sales Services, high Labour charges & affordability of Spares even after 90+% localisation. Agreed because of driving dynamics it should demands premium over rivals. But until you offer the same feature list as compensation. Its not acceptable since You offer less cabinspace & feature list Yet ask for Premium is not justified alongwith history of High Maintenance Costs in India. And that's the reason why it fails to attact buyers who are pampered by Competition.

It’s properly German in its feel. Very very satisfying.

I’ve noticed that the Taigun has a much stiffer suspension than Virtus. Also the 17” rims arguably better for handling compared to the 16” in the Virtus. So the Taigun’s handling should be at par with the Virtus right considering it only sits 9mm higher from the ground?

@motorinc

27 күн бұрын

The Taigun 1.5’s suspension is tuned a bit differently. So it has a sportier feel. And yes the rims will make a difference too. The Virtus is a better all-round tune for the suspension.

@pranavaskumar9307

@@motorinc So if somebody purely wants sportier handling and only drives on good roads, should they pick the Taigun or Virtus keeping aside other parameters? And why?

I own a 1.0 AT since 2 and a half years . Highline variant . Ride quality is much better than the topline cuz of the 16 inchers . Speaker quality is good . Handling and ride quality is one the best in segment . The only problem is the jerky automatic which u do get much accustomed to . And that 1.0 is no joke . It's pretty quick especially from 0 - 80 . However fuel efficiency not good at all . Mix driving i get 10 kmpl . Overall 1.5 would be definitely better with more power , smoothness and efficiency but if u are on a budget highline is great vfm but never get the manual.

Hey AM! Thanks so much for sharing your experience here. Super helpful!

My first drive was the VW POLO my friend bought with a 4 cylinder engine... i loved the feel of it and when i went to buy one myself the variant my frfiend had was discontinued but instead there was a 1.0L 3 cylinder variant. It's not bad in anyway and the mileage is amazing but i feel that the car lost it's excitement trying to be competitive.

One question, is having a rear wiper a must have feature in SUVs?

@motorinc

29 күн бұрын

For hatchbacks and SUVs, on wet roads the spray from the rear tyres dirties the rear windscreen. This limits what you can see behind you. The wiper and washer are helpful in that scenario. So, we would want every hatch and SUV to have one. We would recommend getting one especially for highway users. Else - you just have to be prepared to drive more carefully and take care to clear the rear screen at regular intervals.

@Dushyant933

@@motorinc I was actually sitting shotgun, it's my cousins car. It was the 1L 6 speed auto. The drive was incredible. We were driving in bengaluru city traffic and then also took it up to nice road. I noticed the comfort, the premiumness and just the general nature of "ive got everything, and ive got a lot more than that; you can relax" vibe in the traffic, but once the traffic clears and its time to get going, the performance, the engine getting a bit vocal and the way the engine changes its response from the gentle low-rpm commute to the mid-high rpm power rush, makes all of the above just become a 2nd consideration. It did put a smile on everyone inside the cabin. I did feel though, the crossover/suv form and the 1L engine were perhaps holding the car back a little, but in no way did that stop the smile on my face.

Why don't you do a review on the Kiger? It seems to be value for money, especially the CVT option..
