Is the Kia Seltos or the Volkswagen Taigun cheaper?

Neither, to speak of. The Seltos starts at ₹11.00L and the Taigun at ₹11.00L ex-showroom Delhi, which is close enough that the variant you pick matters more than the badge.

Which is more practical, the Kia Seltos or the Volkswagen Taigun?

On the figures the makers publish, the Seltos swallows 447 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 Kia Seltos or the Volkswagen Taigun?

The Seltos: its cheapest automatic is ₹13.72L against ₹13.80L for the Taigun, 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.
