The Volkswagen Taigun impresses many with the technology it brings to the table
The Taigun is not only the twin of the Skoda Kushaq, it could be the VW Group’s most important car in India for 2021. It is jumping on the compact SUV train that has taken the country by storm with popularity. of the Hyundai Creta and the Kia Selto. But this Taigun is not just about driving pleasure, it puts forward a lot of technology which is also possible at very aggressive prices. Either way, one thing is clear, this is a VW that is not going to disappoint you with the kit. We tell you why in this carandbike technical control.

Impressive infotainment system
The Taigun features a 10-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, wireless charger, rear vent, power sunroof and more
The 10-inch screen that was first seen on the Skoda Kushaq now finds its place in the Taigun. Of course, there are similar traits, fortunately positively. You get a TFT panel that has huge black levels mimicking an OLED screen, coupled with great tactile response that’s more iPhone than Volkswagen, and good viewing angles. It’s nice and easy to use. The bit of ease is helped by a logically designed and very easy to use user interface that has also been copied and pasted from the Kushaq. To add to the sauce the Kushaq doesn’t have, the top-of-the-line 1.0-liter TSI and 1.5-liter TSI models also receive a sophisticated virtual instrument panel that provides a ton of information right in front of the driver. .

6 speaker audio system
Of course, there aren’t any expensive brands here like Bose on the Hyundai and Kias of this world. Heck, even the number of speakers is less. But that doesn’t matter, because this sound system is up to the task. Maybe that’s because these speakers have bigger speakers that balance the equation, but anything typically German fashionable, you get a sleek sound system that works with all kinds of music, especially modern electronic dance music, rock and Bollywood. This is due to a very flat sound signature, powerful bass and voluminous mids.
Connectivity galore
The cabin has a virtual instrument panel, three-spoke steering wheel and red ambient lighting
You get a total of 4 USB Type-C ports and a very logically designed slot for the wireless charging system. Now USB Type C is nice to have. I applaud the VW group for getting all-in like even the Kushaq did. But for people who are using phones over 2 years old, they will have problems because they may need a USB Type-A port. Using an adapter is not intuitive as you lose it sometimes and it may not easily squeeze into the port, but at the same time the technology needs to move forward. Maybe there could be a USB Type-A port somewhere. The wireless charger has been well designed and can even accommodate a large phone like an iPhone 12 Pro Max. But whatever you do, it will still charge your phone like a turtle.
Limited connected car technology
The manual version comes with the optional red colored dash panel, along with the standard VW layout of twin dials and center information display
Yes, this car has connected car technology that offers rudimentary information about geotagging and car location, but you cannot remotely start the car or set up the air conditioning. It also gets a suite of apps, for example, Gaana.com is integrated at the infotainment system level. But there is also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless which will give you access to very good voice assistants, streaming services like Apple Music or YouTube Music, excellent maps in Google Maps and general access to all aspects. your phone as your contacts and messages using voice recognition.

In the end, you’re not going to choose the Taigun because it’s packed with tech, even though it’s incredibly loaded. You’ll choose it for its blend of magnetic driving fun, beauty, German precision, and the tech it showcases. Above all, the unique and attractive combination is paired with a rather aggressive pricing strategy. It is certainly well on its way to being one of the cars in the segment.
