Tata Sierra vs Volkswagen Taigun: which should you buy?
The Volkswagen Taigun starts at ₹11.00L against the Tata Sierra's ₹11.49L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.49L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹19.00L, where the Taigun tops out. Past that only the Sierra has anything left to sell you, up to ₹21.29L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Sierra 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 Sierra Accomplished at ₹18.99L or the Taigun GT Plus Chrome at ₹19.00L.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.01L more for the Taigun GT Plus Chrome: SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call). The useful extras on top: connected car tech and wired CarPlay / Android Auto. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The Sierra swallows the most luggage at 622 litres
- The Taigun GT Plus Chrome is the strongest of the two at 150 PS
- Going to the Taigun GT Plus Chrome, you give up level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor, which the Sierra Accomplished keeps
- Choose the Tata Sierra Accomplished if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.01L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus Chrome if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
