Volkswagen Taigun, the upcoming mid-size SUV from the German carmaker, was recently spotted in its near-production avatar in the country. While the test mule was heavily camouflaged, its twin-pot LED headlamps and halogen fog lamp assembly are visible.
Both units look similar to the concept, which was previewed a couple of days before the 2020 Auto Expo. The prototype features black alloy wheels, roof rails, LED taillamps and LED strip running across the tailgate.
Design bits such as honeycomb mesh grille, square bonnet, matte black cladding around the chin, faux skid plate and bold shoulder lines are likely to be retained. The Taigun concept shares most of its styling bits with the global-spec VW T-Cross SUV. However, the former sits on a longer wheelbase (2651mm) and have more cabin space to offer.

The overall length stands at 4216mm. The SUV’s design will also be tweaked for India. The Volkswagen Taigun will carry a more angular look with generous use of chrome on grille and bumpers.
The spy pictures confirm that the upcoming Volkswagen mid-size SUV will offer a large touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster. Similar to the concept, the final model’s dashboard will feature body-coloured inserts with matching bezels around the AC vents and the tunnel console.

The production-ready Volkswagen Taigun will feature a 1.5L, 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine with cylinder deactivation technology. The motor pushes out power worth 130bhp and 250Nm of torque. The lower variants will be offered with a 1.0L, 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine that’s good for 115bhp and 200Nm. Both petrol units will be available with the 6-speed torque converter automatic and 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox options.
