With this, the waiting period of the SUV is currently ranging over 2 months, depending on the variant. What’s more fascinating is that the demand for VW Taigun is substantially better than its sibling Skoda Kushaq, which had accumulated over 15,000 bookings so far, despite being launched three months earlier than the Taigun.
