For the people not in know, the Taigun is Volkswagen’s upcoming compact SUV that will lock horns with established rivals such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Renault Duster, Maruti S-Cross, and the Nissan Kicks. It will be based on the MQB AO IN platform, which the brand has heavily localised for the Indian market. The same platform will also underpin its upcoming sibling competitor, the Skoda Kushaq.

The Taigun will be offered with two turbocharged petrol engine options – a 1.0-liter TSI and a 1.5-liter TSI EVO.

The ACT is a cylinder deactivation technology that shuts two of four cylinders of the engine in low load condition, thus improves engine efficiency, decreases fuel consumption & associated emissions.
