Hyundai Creta vs Volkswagen Taigun: which should you buy?
The Hyundai Creta and the Volkswagen Taigun cost much the same to get into, at ₹10.91L and ₹11.00L ex-showroom Delhi.
They run together up to ₹19.00L, where the Taigun tops out. Past that only the Creta has anything left to sell you, up to ₹19.91L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Creta comes in petrol and diesel, the Taigun in petrol.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹19.00L to both showrooms and you come out with the Creta King at ₹18.86L or the Taigun GT Plus Chrome at ₹19.00L.
Our take
Keep the ₹0.14L: the Taigun GT Plus Chrome only adds small touches like rear fog lamp. Nothing there changes the car.
- The Taigun GT Plus Chrome is the strongest of the two at 150 PS
- The ₹0.14L step to the Taigun GT Plus Chrome only buys minor trim: rear fog lamp
- Going to the Taigun GT Plus Chrome, you give up level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor, which the Creta King keeps
- Choose the Hyundai Creta King if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.14L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus Chrome if
- You prefer this spec and the price gap does not bother you

- Hyundai Creta vs Volkswagen Taigun: which gives you more for the same money?
- At ₹19.00L it is the Creta King against the Taigun GT Plus Chrome. Keep the ₹0.14L: the Taigun GT Plus Chrome only adds small touches like rear fog lamp. Nothing there changes the car.
- Which is more practical, the Hyundai Creta or the Volkswagen Taigun?
- On the figures the makers publish, the Creta swallows 433 litres of luggage against 385. Everything else about living with them, from boot shape to how the back seat actually feels, is a test drive question rather than a spec sheet one.
- Which is cheaper as an automatic, the Hyundai Creta or the Volkswagen Taigun?
- The Taigun: its cheapest automatic is ₹13.80L against ₹14.50L for the Creta, ex-showroom Delhi. A gearbox is usually the biggest single step on either ladder, so check what else that trim brings before you read it as the price of the automatic alone.
