Volkswagen Taigun review: what owners and experts say

Boot space

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“It gives 385 litres of boot space. Even with five people fully loaded on a trip, it feels completely full/adequate to me — other people's luggage also fits into my car easily. I don't think there's any real issue with boot space.”

Handling

Strongly positivebased on 12 reviews

“Like before, the Taigun chassis feels taut and the handling feels very predictable, and quite honestly, it feels like one of the sportiest in its segment.”

Seat comfort

Strongly positivebased on 8 reviews

“The rear seat of the Taigun is pretty nice — I have a good amount of thigh support, the backrest is nicely angled, and there's a bit of contouring so it's holding me in place when the driver up front is getting enthusiastic.”

Highway mileage

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

“On the highway with AC on, cruising 90-100 km/h, I've genuinely gotten 20-22 km/l. Push it up to 120 and it drops to 16-18. In the hills it's 13-15. My lowest-ever has been 13, and my highest-ever 23 — those are pretty good figures.”

Dashboard layout

Generally negativebased on 5 reviews

“The climate control console remains unchanged, so it is a touch-based unit. You do get these indents to guide your fingers, but it's not the easiest to use on the go, so I'm guessing those voice functions will be put to greater use.”

Rear seat space

Generally negativebased on 10 reviews

“It's a five-seater on paper, but the rear seat is tight for a third person — it's really a four-seater, you could squeeze in a fifth if it's a child.”

Headlight quality

Generally negativebased on 6 reviews

“This variant had halogen bulbs, not a projector — normal halogen. That's not good, and since 80% of my travel is on the highway, the throw wasn't good, so I got both headlights upgraded to LED.”

Fit & finish

Generally negativebased on 10 reviews

“The most major negative — some rattling noise or other keeps coming from it, which ruins the premium feel. It comes from the doors; we keep spraying lubricant on it, and the noise still comes back.”

Ride comfort

Mixed reviewsbased on 6 reviews

“When I was driving it on the stock steel rims, it felt very, very stiff — it would bounce hard over speed breakers, making a knocking sound.”
