YOU GET MORE THAN YOU EXPECT WITH THE VOLKSWAGEN TAIGUN POWERED BY THE 1.0-LITRE TSI
-
There’s no more pleasant a surprise than when you get more than you asked for — and that’s exactly what you get when you drive the Volkswagen Taigun with the potent 1.0-litre TSI under the hood. Saying it’s only a 999cc, 3-cylinder engine doesn’t cover half the story, really. That’s because its turbocharged outputs of 115PS and 178Nm bring it right to the front of the segment, competing against naturally-aspirated engines 1.5 times larger — and beating them when it comes to torque! What that means is that you’ll always have that ‘oomph’ to pull off overtakes when you put your foot down. The best part is that the fun doesn’t taper off as the revs rise, it only gets stronger.
