If you’re hunting for a midsize SUV that marries German engineering with an approachable price, the Taigun’s 100,000‑unit domestic hit tells you it’s gaining ground.
Under the hood, the Taigun offers two petrol twins: a 1.0‑liter turbo that pushes 115 hp and a 1.5‑liter turbo that delivers 150 hp. Both sit on an 8‑speed manual or a newly‑launched automatic, and the body keeps its 5‑star Global NCAP rating.
The car is wedged in a competitive segment, taking on the likes of Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Toyota Hyryder. While it offers crisp handling and a premium cabin, it lags in cargo space and some tech amenities that rivals ship.
Sales have ebbed since the 2021 launch: 21,736 units in FY2023, 20,485 in FY2024, 19,910 in FY2025, and a dip to 12,912 in FY2026. A facelift in April 2026—updated styling, more features, and a new automatic—boosted first‑half FY2027 sales by 4% YoY.
In a market shifting toward stricter emissions and EVs, the Taigun’s efficient turbos give it an edge, and its 52,751 overseas exports show it’s resonating beyond India’s borders.
The next major update is penciled for late 2027, likely to add mild‑hybrid tech. For now, the Taigun rides out in all major Indian cities, priced between ₹11 lakh and ₹19.47 lakh ex‑showroom.
