When the road becomes the destination, the Taigun and Virtus turn travel into something unforgettable
-
There was a time when a holiday meant rushing to the airport, shuffling through queues, and waiting for cramped seats to take you somewhere far. But things have changed. In India today, the journey has started to matter as much as the destination. With highways smoother, pit stops friendlier, and once-remote corners finally connected, travellers are swapping boarding passes for steering wheels. The road trip is back, and it's not just convenient, it's the adventure in itself.
That's where Volkswagen's Taigun and Virtus step in. They aren't just cars in the literal sense; they've become tickets to freedom. Both models are powered by Volkswagen's acclaimed TSI family of engines — the 1.0-litre TSI that blends efficiency with spirited performance, and the larger 1.5-litre TSI EVO that adds a layer of punch and refinement, complete with active cylinder technology for better economy on long hauls. On the road, these turbo-petrol powertrains give drivers confidence whether they're gliding down expressways or powering through mountain switchbacks. And paired with Volkswagen's European build quality, they make every trip as secure as it is enjoyable.

CHARACTER CERTIFICATE
Recently, I drove the new Mahindra Bolero, an all-black number that somehow still manages to turn heads and spark conversations. Of course, the bare-basic automobile made me wonder out loud at length about its nature. The seats were terrible, it didn’t go very fast, it didn’t steer all that well at whatever speeds it could muster, and stopping was as much a matter of braking technology as it was of prayers. But I liked it. It had character. It sort of reminded me of the Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber, which once pleasantly surprised me with its lovely nature, even though I was done for by the end of the day. The days spent in the Bolero and on the Bobber confirmed what I've always known — too much character is bad for my back.
