UNLOCKING JOYS OF THE Open Road
autoX
|October 2025
The VW Taigun and Virtus are the best at making every mile a beautiful memory. Here's what makes these cars special.
-
Few feelings compare to the joy of hitting the open road at dawn - the quiet hum of the engine, the thrill of discovering new roads, and the promise of adventure.
There is something deniably liberating about setting off for an unfamiliar place - windows down, music up, and miles of tarmac waiting to be explored. But at the heart of every great road trip lies a great car. That's where the Volkswagen Taigun - an SUV built for those who love exploring the roads less travelled - steps in.
VOLKSWAGEN TAIGUN
With India's road network improving rapidly and highways stretching wider and smoother than ever, long drives are no longer a luxury - they are now an invitation. Whether it's a breezy coastal run through Maharashtra and Goa, a mountain retreat in Uttarakhand and Himachal, or a desert adventure in Rajasthan, the Volkswagen Taigun feels at home everywhere.
The VW Taigun is offered with two state-of-the-art petrol engine options - the efficient 1.0L TSI and the all-conquering 1.5L TSI unit. Both engines come with an option of either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed DSG, making every drive exhilarating, smooth, and reassuringly composed. Add to that VW's famous German build, and you have an SUV that feels safe and planted and inspires confidence around every twist and turn.

A FRIEND INDEED
I am at a stage in life when a phone call from friends or family means one of two things — either an invitation to a major life event or news of someone's passing. In such moments, what you need is quiet reliability. And that's exactly what the Honda Elevate offered — not excellence, but presence.
