Which Volkswagen Taigun variant should you buy?
Best value for money: Topline, at ₹1.50L over the GT Line. No other step you pay for is better value for money on the price list.
Above Topline the range keeps going, but every upgrade left changes the engine or the gearbox as well as the features, so there is no honest way to rank them on value for money. Choose up there on the powertrain you want.

There is no way up here that keeps the same engine and gearbox: the GT Plus Chrome moves from 1.0L TSI Petrol 6-speed manual to 1.5L TSI Petrol 7-speed dual-clutch auto (DCA), so that figure covers the powertrain as well as the features.
- All-wheel disc brakes
+₹30,000 (₹19.17L to ₹19.47L)
None of the equipment we track changes here, and this trim opens up no engine the one below cannot have. Worth asking a dealer what the money buys before you spend it.
Why some steps are not ranked
What the road does to this ranking
Where you register does not change which step is the best buy here. GT Line to Topline asks the least money for each feature it adds on the price list, and that holds once road tax is counted too, in all 25 of the states we can price this ladder in.
Why the road could have changed this, and did not
Every price on this page is the showroom's. States charge their road tax as a share of that price and step the share up in bands, so a trim that carries a car past a band boundary is charged for the whole boundary. A ranking worked out on the price list is not automatically the ranking you pay.
Take the badged step, GT Line to Topline: ₹1,50,000 on the price list, and anywhere from ₹1,60,500 to ₹2,06,440 on the road. Gujarat and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest, across the 25 states behind that range. Every other step moves by its own amount, and that is what can reorder them.
In each of those states we ranked the 4 steps that keep the same engine and gearbox again, and the order came back the same every time. So the badge above is safe to act on wherever you buy the car.

Where the features that matter land
- Airbags
- All 6 are standard from the base Comfortline, so nobody has to spend up for them.
- Safety features
- GT Plus Chrome, from ₹19.17L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best.
The good news
Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.- Cheapest automatic
- Highline Turbo Petrol AT, ₹14.10L
- Airbags
- Every Taigun has 6 or more airbags, the base Comfortline included, so there is no step to pay for.
- Sunroof
- You need the Highline Plus, from ₹14.42L, for a sunroof: ₹3.42L over where the Taigun opens. Spend ₹1.80L more again, to the Topline at ₹16.22L, and that sunroof is panoramic rather than single-pane.
- Ventilated front seats
- You need the Topline, from ₹16.22L, for ventilated seats: ₹5.22L over where the Taigun opens.
- Cruise control
- You need the Topline, from ₹16.22L, for cruise control: ₹5.22L over where the Taigun opens.
No Taigun has ADAS or a 360 camera at any price, on any trim.
Then there is the engine
Picking the trim is only half of it. The Taigun is sold with 2 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
| Engine | Cheapest way in | Gearbox | Official figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0L TSI Petrol115 PS | Comfortline₹11.00L | 6-speed manual | 20 km/l |
| 1.5L TSI Petrol150 PS | GT Plus Chrome₹19.17L | 7-speed dual-clutch auto (DCA) | 18.9 km/l |
