VW for the folks

Volkswagen is all set to launch the brand new Taigun SUV in India soon. We got to drive the SUV on open highways as well as tight city spaces of Rajasthan to gauge its performance

SUVs make a lot of sense in India. The high clearance and tight approach and departure angles make them perfectly suited for all terrains. Then there is high seating position and not to forget the brag value. The result is most people are choosing an SUV as a daily driver and those who are not aspire to own one. Manufacturers too are working hard to bring in SUVs into their portfolio and in all segments. So it was but obvious that when the Volkswagen Group decided to rethink their ‘India strategy’, they would choose an SUV to spearhead their assault. As a result of this development VW even changed their tag line to being ‘SUVW’ and launched a plethora of premium SUVs in the past few months. But the one SUV which has the tall task of leading the charge is the Taigun.
