- Volkswagen Experiences is a customer community initiative where customers and fans of the brand can purchase self-drive experiences to some of the most desirable locations. The first edition kicks off in Ladakh, where we join them for an epic journey through the magnificent yet brutal terrain, travelling from Leh to Nubra to the Siachen Base Camp in the first leg. In the second leg, we journeyed from Leh to the Shinkhu La pass, crossing four additional passes in a single day.
What began as a picturesque journey transformed into a race against time and weather towards the end. Did we eventually make it to the Shinkhu La pass? Watch this special feature and follow our journey through these captivating destinations.

Done Kaza chandrataal manali road on Taigun 1.0MT . It performed exceptionally well. Very underated feature which is differential lock helped a lot in difficult situations.
Switching off traction control at very difficult situations also helps.
Without issue we crossed many water crossings. Even a force traveler was stuck in front of us but we done the circuit without an issue ❤
Those who know kaza chandrataal manali is much difficult than the road shown in video.
Agreed..
Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes the chandratal route is even more challenging
I've also done chadratal via Manali Batal stretch with my Seltos GT line and it also did well. Nothing touched, the underbody guard also helped as once a stone jumped from the tyre towards it, my friend is skeptical as his Kushaq doesn't have underbody protection. I will show him your comment to boost his confidence. Also, I didn't have to switch off tc or any differential lock is required for my journey. It was smooth sailing overall.
@SuyashKaul Good to know your experience. Differential lock in Taigun engage automatically. I felt it's use atleast twice when there was huge inclined and one wheel was in air for a while.
It is Good to have differential lock in that kind of terrain it reduces chances of getting stuck to minimal.
I am certain that in all front wheel drive cars of this segment, Taigun is most capable of offloading due to differential locks.
About traction control, I felt that at very steep inclines when tyre tend to slip ECU reduces power and drops rpm to avoid slips I had to break at very inclined due to a bad driver then to start from that inclined car was not ready then I switched of traction control and it inclined without an issue.
@@rajandeepsinghbhullar4894 yeah, to start on an incline TC needs to be off but I managed everything by maintaining momentum pretty easily. On the topic of capability, no one can compare until and unless one experiences them back to back at this kind of terrain. Most reviewers say Elevate is the most capable and you can see Taigun stuck in this video, for a brief period of time so can't say with certainty which is best. Nonetheless all these are capable mainly if the driver knows what he's doing. I've covered this with my Ninja 650 as well which has 145mm of gc on paper so it's not a very big deal to me now. GV/Hyryder AWD should be best overall for this and beyond, if one is looking mainly for adventure
With Alto also we can go there by the way..its just VW promotions..
We have done full riders dream circuit crossing majority of the passes and we can say that undoubtedly VW capabilities are just phenomenal.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great video as usual by the team. Last week I completed the Zanskar circuit in my Taigun 1L MT. The real challenge was when I started to descend from Shinkula pass towards Gombo Ranjan. It was fully off-road. I am glad my car performed very well.
Thank you for watching
I've heard there is an AC problem in the Taigun 1L. Is that really the case? Did you face any issues during your trip?
@@ShubhamSinghwhatsup As per my exp AC performance is satisfactory in city and good in highways. However on the zanskar trip, we rarely used AC after Manali till Srinagar as the weather was very pleasant. Using AC in uphill puts load so you must keep the RPM on the higher side.
Did you join Srinagar Leh Highway via Sankoo or the other route via Linshed, Photoksar?
@@generaldong1090 We followed Darcha-Padum-Rangdum-Kargil route. I am not sure if the Padum-Lingshed-Nimmoo route is open for tourists.
Is this the 1.5 New GT Plus Sport Variant in Black color ?
Hows the DSG Transmission in the Hilly Terrain ?
This is among the best dual clutch transmissions in India. Works very well in hilly terrain too. You will need momentum though in tough terrains, like in all AT gearboxes.
What's the story with VW? Read news they are looking for partners.. will they survive? Such amazing cars..
Truly amazing Journey brother 👊🏼❤️
I too completed this track from Bangalore - Srinagar - Ladakh - Bangalore in my VW Polo without a single trouble❤️😎
Truly VW builds durable and trustworthy cars❤️💪🏼👊🏼
So cool! Thank you
Awesome!
I dont think any other channel and team makes u feel as if u are with the team doing all these activities. hats off to evo india
Thank you for your appreciation:)

It's never the driving feel/quality with VWs/Skodas; it's the service. We get into it knowing these shortcomings, but still, the service is so bad we never dream of returning to this family again.
Depending on which SC you go to, it is not always bad
Owning 2 VW's, serviced in 2 different serviced service centers in two entirely separate states, no complaints till date. Cars work like new after 7 years too and service centers are more than helpful.
@@siddharthasamuel7259true. People just listen to 1-2 incidents and start believing it.
My polo car service experience in Hyderabad is worst.Too much labour charges on each and every parts . For example Just for vehicle inspection they charge 1500 rupees. Just for general service they charge 20 k .And most of the parts won’t be available.
@@kcmahaboobbasha7178 the problem is with the dealers here and the lack of demand(basically the volume of vw cars on the road). Just consider the amount of cars coming in a maruti service centre as compared to the vw one. Now with the wages of labour being fixed, the operation cost becomes higher for vw.
Vw really needs cheaper cars to run in India so that more people can buy such cars. Else they will never be able to bring such costs down.
What a storyteller! 👌🏽
Thanks!
Thank you 😊
I just wonder whether there was steering rack issue aftr crossing the treacherous passes..
No there wasn't any
That's awesome.. I just asked coz I faced this issue from the very beginning wen I bought the skoda 1 litre tsi and I'm from nagaland where the roads are not that great.. just recently the company replaced the steering rack and now it's solved but I'm little sceptical whether it will last or not.. just hoping not to face the same issue again..
No problems as such
Breathtaking... And such a good story teller... One of the very nicest Travel and Vehicle vlogs... Kudos Evo... 1st Sirish and now him... Plus the Cinematography... Great Team!!
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for your appreciation
The views are stunning, and the cinematography is exceptional. Well done!
Thank you for your appreciation
The entire video is so well shoot . Breath taking beauty of Himalayas, powerful VW cars, soul soothing music of a flute , voice of Anchor. Everyone and everything is just amazing . Hats off to to you 🙏🏻💐👍🏻
Thank you for your kinds words
Thank you 😊
Are you running on stock tyres or changed to any specific type?
Stock tyres were used.
This is what we call a good TH-cam video❤
Thank you for your appreciations
Was ur camera car safari or with u
No surprise why Rachit was the only major automobile youtuber who wasn’t included in this exhilarating trip.
Why?
Could we do this with our own car but join the group , own a virtus GT and would love to join but with my own car
We suggest checking out the VW Experiences website for more details on this. You may drop this query for the next chapter.
Awesome video❤. I'm watching you after a long time
On the you tube. Amazing scenes with superb presentation 🎉🎉
Glad you liked it
Beautiful video
Thank you
11:35 those emotional moments... 😅
Prashant does get emotional about his cars 😅
😅
Why are all these videos being released after the news of VW leaving India was announced?🤔
We haven't heard of any news saying VW is leaving India
its still a FWD.. the roads were good here.. i wonder how will it perform in treacherous rocky roads..
For most terrains you don't really need a AWD. With the right manner of driving FWDs can traverse through most trails and terrains. Ofcourse, it is always recommended to know the limitation of your vehicle
Whenever you're thinking of buying a VW, remember the Dieselgate.
Beautiful video! ❤
Thank you!!
How much did he experience cost? Also do you need to be a VW owner for participating?
You don't have to be a VW owner only to participate. For prices and more details we suggest checking out their website
Awesome🔥🔥
Thank you :)
So is this your last video on a VW machine mad ein india now??
We sure think not!
@@evoIndia Really sure.??☺
Alto 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I see I see! Way to go!
Thank you for watching
😊
Incredible video 🔥🔥🖤🖤
Glad you liked it!
😊😊😊@@evoIndia
. mp❤❤❤❤@@evoIndia
Amazing !!
Thank you! Cheers!
At 8:20 mins he got stuck and at 8:44 mins he risked getting the car damaged.. just take an AWD and save time and avoid risks.
For any car, it's ideal to do things within it's known capabilities to keep yourself and the car safe. It was taken care of here as well
Jimny is more practical😊. Taigun with 1ltr engine, also in this segment, at such locations is really unreliable.
It's only vw that makes a driver enjoy the worst of the roads.
It is among the best for sure!
After all this, VW is still the car for the people who enjoy driving, understand handling, build paint etc. Unless you get to a normal customer who knows nothing about driving, looks for Size/Road Presence, Features etc. -- you (VW) will continue to be a niche player. Sadly by the trajectory VW is going it is not enough to sustain in the market, and with the news of Skoda selling stake, sales will plummet even more drastically.
Their cars are surely among the best to drive!
Great video. Is it the gt plus sport variant?
Yes, it is. Thank you for watching
❤❤@@evoIndia
jai Hind 😍great drive 😍
Thank you for watching
Apki hi north east wali video dekhke maine polo tsi li thi. Yaar ek baar vw ki gaadi le to lo phir koi aur gaadi pasand nahi aati hai. Halanki ab me EV pe shift ho gaya hu. Great review.
Thank you for watching :)
Thank you for your appreciation
I agree :) thank you
when is the 1 cylinder 125cc vw launching 😂😂😂
huh?
Way to go!!!!
Thank you
😍👍
:D
Don't break your heart. Buy it.
I am tempted to 😅
PRINT a tshirt with words You're a good car
We just might!
😅
Megatronic.. Gearbox DSG- in water or even a splash in rainy day or running 60k gets destoryed . At 15k breakpads and tyres go off!@#@$%^! y u don't tell all this..
Still people buy Creta and not Taigun.
Why do you think some people prefer Creta over Taigun?
Creta provides gimick features which attract mass market if Volkswagen has committed very big blunder to place this car on creta segment they could have place this car in breeza only it could have sell the poor strategy of Volkswagen ruined taigun just look at sales of virtus slavia why they are selling inspite of no demand of sedan in Indian market the company themselves are responsible not to putt efforts attract customers the car which will not attract customer no will buy
@@evoIndia Creta has bigger size than Taigun and more gimmick features. Also perception of VW after sales service is not good. It also offers diesel. People think that 1.0 TSI is underpowered due to only 1,000 cc and 3 cylinders. Hyundai sales team also say that 1.0 TSI is bad engine due to small size
Let VW provide just 3 features like panoramic sunroof, 360 camera, electronic parking brake in the Taigun..and watch how more people will buy these machines.
Size matters the most for 20L+ spending..as simple as that..@@evoIndia

ये सब बकचोदी करने से बेहतर होगा VW ग्राहक के जरूरतों पर ध्यान दे. पता चल रहा है बोरिया बिस्तर बांध दिए है. बकलोल
VW CAR IS VERY GOOD.
It is.
