Press release on Volkswagen at Auto Expo 2014:
Volkswagen, Europe’s leading automotive manufacturer, today unveiled its new SUV concept – the Taigun – at the Auto Expo, which is being held at the Expo Mart in Greater Noida. The Taigun is fitted with a highly efficient 1.0-litre turbocharged TSI petrol engine, which produces 108 horsepower and 175Nm of torque. Further establishing its commitment to the Indian car market, Volkswagen is currently evaluating the feasibility of launching the Taigun in India in the near future.

Also showcased at the Volkswagen pavilion is the World Rally Championship winning Polo R WRC. The Polo R WRC put up a magnificent performance last year, with French driver Sebastien Ogier and co-driver Julien Ingrassia winning the 2013 World Rally Championship. Powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged TSI petrol engine, which produces more than 300 horsepower, the Polo R WRC is a technological tour-de-forceand is one of the finest competition machines to ever emerge from Germany in recent times. In addition to the Taigun and Polo R WRC, Volkswagen also displayed its full India line-up of cars, including all Polo and Vento variants, the Jetta, and the Passat, at the Auto Expo.

Mr Arvind Saxena, Managing Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Volkswagen Group Sales India Pvt. Ltd., said “We are happy to be taking part in this year’s Auto Expo, which for us is a great opportunity to connect with our customers and to showcase our new products and technologies. India is an important market for Volkswagen, and over the next few months and years, we look forward to launching new products engineered specially for the Indian market. The response to our cars launched in 2013 has been positive, reaffirming our commitment to offering the Indian customer with truly world-class, technologically advanced motoring solutions.”

A very cold show by VW at the Auto expo this year. I guess the VW Taigun is the only car which might be catching some attention from the on-lookers. The car looks pretty neatly designed and very compact as well. Though did not like the tail-gate mounted spare wheel on the showcased car. Looked much better without it when it was showcased in Brazil last year.

How is the car's presence when seen in person, I know the length of the vehicle is even less than a Polo but does it have any sorts of butchness about it to hold against the likes of Ecosport?

I think VW will launch Taigun in 2016.
The design is great, there will be difference in concept and production vehicle.
1. Tyre will have different design.
2. For cost cutting the single door for boot.
3. Seats will be different
