Highlights

    Volkswagen India is all set to introduce the new Taigun compact SUV in the market after a long wait. The all-new offering is the brand's first model based on the India-centric MQB A0 IN platform and will go up against the likes of the Skoda Kushaq, Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, upcoming MG Astor among others. The Taigun will quite the work cut out for itself given just how competitive this segment is and the model did feel promising when we drove it earlier this year.
