Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.36L more for the Taigun GT Plus Chrome: the Taigun GT Plus Chrome runs the turbo engine and 150 PS against 103 PS, a 46 percent jump you will feel. It also adds all-wheel disc brakes and SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Taigun GT Plus Chrome is the strongest of the two at 150 PS
- Also on the Taigun GT Plus Chrome: panoramic sunroof, wired CarPlay / Android Auto, driver display (10.25" digital against Semi-digital) and rain-sensing wipers, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Taigun GT Plus Chrome, you give up level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and JBL system with Dolby Atmos, which the Victoris ZXi+ keeps
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Victoris ZXi+ if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.36L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus Chrome if
- You want the stronger, quicker car and will use the performance
