Sales jump after facelift introduction

The sales growth comes after Volkswagen introduced the updated Taigun with a revised exterior and several feature additions. The SUV now comes with full-LED headlamps as standard across the range, a redesigned front grille with a connected DRL light bar, and illuminated Volkswagen logos at both the front and rear.

Inside, the Taigun gets a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with AI-integrated voice controls. The facelift also brought a new 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission for the 1.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine, replacing the earlier automatic option. The engine produces 115 hp and is also available with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

The 1.5-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine continues to develop 150 hp and is paired exclusively with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. It also features cylinder deactivation technology to improve fuel efficiency under light loads.

Safety equipment remains unchanged, with six airbags and Electronic Stability Control offered as standard across the range. The 1.5-litre variants get rear disc brakes with red brake callipers, while the Taigun continues to carry a 5-star Global NCAP safety rating. The facelifted Volkswagen Taigun is currently priced from ₹10.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
