      2019 Polo to Taigun in 2021, with pandemic and all in between, unless you are financially really well off isn't it too early to upgrade?
      And, if you're selling your Polo, that hasn't been a good investment.

      Initially I thought the location is around Pune going by the registration plate and VW factory is on outskirts of Pune. But atleast when he's driving the red manual, he's on NH27 on Udaipur bypass road. Too many lakes in Udaipur so its hard to guess which one.

    After looking at the Taigun and Kushaq, I will easily forget the Creta, as its design really not that nice....and unnecessary features are offered, even in Seltos....which are useless ...better have the Taigun or Kushaq, as they look clean, neat, and have the necessary features which are useful...and easy to use

      While germans are more safer quality is good but service maintenance is quite expensive.
      I personally prefer Creta top spec over others.

      @k_vamsi2406 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yes features are missed on taigun but it gives those features which kushaq missed and kushaq gives those features which taigun has missed. It now depends on what a person wants. If they want ventilated seats, leather seats with 2 airbags in 1.5 automatic then kushaq but if they want 6 airbags, digital cockpit,tpms with fabric seats in 1.5 automatic then taigun.

    Very well presented, especially the bit on torsional rigidity, Taigun is a good attempt by VW for the Indian Market, however the smaller dimensions (as compared to a creta) and lack of a panoramic sunroof could be a deal breaker...

    • @bestbudget2598
      @bestbudget2598 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Sir At least the car will stay intact with the sunroof rather than splitting into half with panaromic sunroof. Sunroof can’t be used neither on rainy/summer days nor on dusty roads don’t know why people are so crazy about it. How much the passengers were secure when there were incidents of rollovers.

    The topmost priority of Indians in a car is its huge road presence along with comfortable seats for 3 adults in back and large bootspace. The Creta has topped all 3 of these that's why it is the top selling SUV. Taigun and Kushaq won't be able to replace them. I wonder what research VW did on Indian market

      Initially I thought the location is around Pune going by the registration plate and VW factory is on outskirts of Pune. But atleast when he's driving the red manual, he's on NH27 on Udaipur bypass road. Some comments say it's shot besides Badi lake
