Volkswagen has received the Compact SUV of the Year Award for its Volkswagen Taiguna
The compact SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in our market and Taigun also faced some serious competition this year in our Jury round between Skoda Kushaq and MG Astor. That said, Volkswagen Taigun managed to captivate our jury with its built-in quality and handling skills, and most importantly, its twisty corners.

As mentioned, Volkswagen Taigun is offered in India with two gasoline turbo engine options. First up is the tested 1.0-liter three-cylinder TSI petrol, which runs on a range of VW and Skoda cars. This engine has a six-speed manual transmission as standard, and a six-speed automatic torque converter is optional. Then comes the 1.5-liter, four-cylinder TSI petrol engine with a six-speed manual transmission and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT).
