Kushaq 1.5 MT feb 23 model. 3000 km done. So far so greatttt loving this beast of a machine. Plush interiors, timeless design makes it an up-market and classy car
I’m an owner of Taigun GT Plus since last 9 months. Driven around 10,500 kms. Highway performance is phenomenal with mileage up to 21km/l. In City traffic, gearbox gets confused sometimes. AC not fast as we see in Japanese and Korean counterparts. Door noise of-course is an issue along with slight Brake noise. Overall I enjoy driving Taigun because of the refinement in engine and high performance.
I drove 2k, the ACT activates for short durations only and I was only able to get 14kmpl. How did you manage to get 21? Could you please share your driving conditions and techniques? I have to admit that the engine kept me motivated to never cruise and I have not cruised much.
@anurag....ure right i got 22+kmpl with my GT plus on highways and 16-17kmpl in city..but it drops to 10kmpl in bumper to bumper traffic. That time I missed hybrids. They are giving 20-26kmpl in city to my uncle everytime. He is driving Hyryder hybrid top model.
I have 1.5 TSI DSG Taigun. Just completed 15000 kms service. Fabulous car in terms of performance and technology. As said in the video mileage is always a function of how you drive.
I have been an owner of Taigun GT+ for more that 1.5 year now and would say never faced a challenge with infotainment unit and any issue has been with the phone(both Apple/Android) rather in my experience, when it comes to wireless connectivity. As for AC unit, I believe the issue is due to design where the temperature sensor is rather placed in the touch panel itself, rather that being placed on the roof in most of the cars. The cool air settles low with hot air rising up in the cabin, it senses temperatures wrongly and slows down early in auto mode. Put it on manual mode and it works great. Mileage was never a concern, but it behaves as you said and engine start/stop plays a big role; where on hot days when engine doesn't cut out when you stop and the penalty is about 10 percent drop in mileage.
@@vishwasverma2528 Under extreme articulation doors creak a bit but that's common with every vehicle. Regular drives with pothole roads and all, you won't get creaks. I got my car in one of the early batches in 2021, and one of my colleagues bought one recently. Newer ones are even better with small niggles have already been sorted out.
@@vishwasverma2528 AC is weak at times due to the way its built. The temperature sensor is on the climate control touch panel. Simple science is hot air rises up and cold air stays down, so in auto mode the sensor being lower sees temperature has reached the setting and slows down the blower, while is still hot at your head level while its cooler at your leg level. This temp sensor should have been at roof level instead like in most of the cars, then AC wouldn't have slowed down early. So to get around this you can do one of the 2 things, either set the temp at the climate control to low and let AC work in auto, or go manual and set the temp and blower speeds yourself. That being said, I feel AC works fine in auto mode 98-99% of the time.
This is a completely honest review.. why i am saying this is coz all the points you mentioned are common for me in my T-Roc as well since it has the same engine. In terms of mileage, i have even got 21 kmpl while cruising steadily on 70 kmph. Amazing vehicles in terms of safety as well.
Service cost will surprise you.. I used to pay about 10 to 12k on my Polo for yearly service and paying around 14 to 16k for T-Roc.. which I believe is quite good for a CBU
An extremely honest & genuine review . Being a Taigun 1.5GT owner since last 1.5yrs all your points are absolutely on dot and I can relate to it as well. Keep going guys. You got a new subscriber
Most awesome video on Taigun 1.5 review. I own a March 2023 Taigun 1.5 GT PLUS, i agree to all the issues mentioned by you, touch screen has hanging issues, rear camera issues, pairing issued with mobile - apple car play... and GEAR ISSUES IN 1st and 2nd gear...there seems to be programming or AI issue as engine is not able to decide which gear to go...so in roads full of pot holes and speed breakers, IT IS A BIG ISSUE AS CAR IS NOT ABLE TO DECIDE which GEAR TO GO in - I.E. 1ST OR 2ND gear!!! during this time it behaves like an AMT gearbox... another biggest issue is auto-ON/OFF SYSTEM, whenever you slow down your car due to big pot-holes and speed breakers, the engine keeps getting switched off and on constantly...it feels so irritating...when we complain to VW service team they have fixed ONE LINERS....PRE-PROGRAMMED managers...whereas in Japanese / S. Korean cars this thing never happens...only on traffic signals after a certain duration the car engine will stop not otherwise... AC cooling is another issue, there is confusion with compressor, sometimes it cools sometimes it doesn't...no solution from service teams, we have to just live with it... reality is reality, howsoever VW may defend itself...they didn't prepare fully before launch in India, they just dumped EUROPEAN stuff on Indian roads...
I own the GT variant of Taigun with ventilated seats. I do face the wireless car play issues mentioned. I also had the window auto up-down issue which was resolved with an update. The AC issue was also taken care of in the update. Performance is great with mileage between 8 to 12km/l. As far as value for money I got the ventilated seats with rear fog lights in the GT variant which were features I wanted so I am happy. I wish the wheels were 18 inches.
Did you get the ventilated seats installed aftermarket because as far as I can remember, only the GT plus variant has those? If yes, it would be really helpful if you could lead me with the pricing the dealer/aftermarket shop charged you and whether all the necessary connections were already present in the GT variant.
For us (in Mexico), one of the key reasons for getting a top-end Taigun was that the driver and passenger seats have height adjustment. Very happy with the purchase.
We can easily predict this car's condition in future : Squeaky door panels, roof and interior at the very first years of ownership indicates its not put together well and will crack/fall apart in long term. Talking about the engines im pretty sure the 1.0 tsi with 6 speed TC will be reliable and trouble free than 1.5 tsi. Even though its a small engine it may hold well upto 1 lakh kms then you will notice power loss because the turbo's will be worn out, AC, alternator, timing chain, fuel pump, gdi fuel injectors, all those will start failing due to high pressure from that smaller displacement and carbon build up which will restrict sufficient air flow and you will experience power loss but majority of those parts which fail mentioned above may be covered in warranty/regular services. So 1.0 tsi will be the better choice. 1.5 tsi and dct will be fun now but the cylinder deactivation will blow the engine and cams and nobody can say it won't because the engine's heat and temperature and pressure from all the cylinders should be same all the time or else the cylinders which are shutting down will fall apart and creates engine knocking, broken cylinder head / rods. DCT unit is a 7 spd and has no lubrication, dry clutch. DCT's produces more heat which requires more higher quality lubrication oil which this unit does not have so the gears will blow below 1 lakh kms or sooner. Doesn't matter how aggressively/slowly you drive this in the cities/ highways the more friction its creating due to faster shifts require some lubrication too. As DCT's are very complex and expensive and there is no option for rebuilding the transmission, in india companies only replace your tranny's which is another method of stealing from the customers. Same thing with Hyundai's gearbox which fail above 1 lakh km can easily be rebuilt by the manufacturers but they will replace it with new one. So buyers beware and search for other options too and choose wisely.
I think the Biggest Challenege the foreign automakers face is during localisation of the product. The find it extrmely challenging to match its foreign product cousin in terms of the material used and the fit and finish and most important the pricing. Classic example is Citroën C3 Aircross. If you watch the videos of the C3Aircross Europe you can easily see the difference in the product. I believe only Hyundai and KIA are managing to get a certain level of premiumness in mass market cars.
Have same one GT plus. 1.5 years and 17k driven. Owned GM, Honda but this is the best one. Had taken mileage in range of 20 on highways. Issues mentioned got fixed by VW within short time and now its a rocket ride.
I use DQ200 with 1.5TDI..(2019 VW) opted for extended warranty till 6 and 7 years..they rectified DQ200 but still considering other parts..its much recommended! Comparatively reliability is better than before too👍
There was also a video by someone(I don't remember the guy) who reviewed long term Punch.ev and he was charging the car daily at fast chargers present on fuel stations, for about an hour per charge and he also claimed that the running cost was around 9-10 rupees per km, which was quite informative.
I own highline MT 1.0 , no issues until now. but mileage is 10kmpl. My most use is in the city that’s why mileage is low i think. It’s panther on highways. Some features could have been added in this variant for the price i.e, led headlamp, keyless entry, push button start, auto headlamp etc.
My kushaq also does same...this taigun kushaq are not meant for city traffic..it will tear our pocket for sure..even if we fill petrol for 1000rs just 25 km drive in city could finish it
I have gt from last 5 month ..i driven 3500 km and milege excilent up to 22 km pl on highway speed between 80 to 100 and when speed goes 120 t0 140 milege given 14 to 18 And in city its give 9 to 12 .im vary satiesfied customer ...performance jordar,look jordar,engine so silent ..many time i confuce that it on or off...i always use shell v power fuel for good tuning and good performanc.
Excellent feedback..... I bought 1.5 GT plus 1 year ago, driven 13K Look, performance - good Mileage is ok AC is poor On/Off engine is pathetic Features - poor Suspension is bad, especially within the city.
If same issue happens in any Indian car there will be 100 youtubers trashing about it.. when its a foreign brand then they'll tone down the language to say "Its ok..only small problem"..hypocrites
It’s actually vice versa. You’ll see other reviewers praising certain Indian automakers a lot more than needed despite those cars having bigger niggles because many of them are paid reviews.
Time is changed if you criticize tata or mahindra then fanboys will call you anti national and this fanboys will make fun of other cars. Even I like Indian cars if you say which India brand I most I will say mahindra.
Many people are complaining about clutch burn in 4 digit odo reading in taigun please check and buy. Service center putting blame on customer riding skills for clutch burnout.
Hi, great honest review I have seen so far. My commute to work daily would be from Thane to Dadar, Waiting for 1.5 GT Manual, would that be more fuel efficient? what do think?
I would suggest get the automatic because Thane to Dadar is quite a distance and with Mumbai’s traffic increasing everyday and roads only getting worse, an AT will be a lot convenient and the extra money you spend will be worth it in the longer run
don't understand how keeping lower temperature of AC will chill the car faster considering these cars don't have variable speed compressors. The compressor will just switch off when it reaches the target temp.
Hi sir, we were planning to buy a vw taigun but after reading the reviews over at team bhp written during April of 2023 complaining about unreliableity of the day gearbox frequently failing brake pads and constant break downs we dropped it now we are confused on what car to buy (budget 18 lakhs maximum on road) should we go ahead for the 2024 taigun or should we buy the diesel tata Nexon or the urban cruiser hyryder any advice (automatic)
I have Taigun 1.0TSI top varient. Pros 1. The performance of vehicle is too good. 2. The habdling of vehicle is also too good. It won't disappoint you. 3. The steering is too smooth to handle. 4. Clutch is is also very smooth. 5. The aeating comfort is good for 4 passenger and fifth ine should be very kean personal or should be a kid. 6. Build quality still better when compare to other vehicle but VW has degraded its quality overall. 7. Decent millege fir me as I don't unwantedly accelarate or apply brakes. I get around 12 to 14 in city and in highway some times i got even 23 at a speed of 80 in cruise control. Around 100kmp speed i get around 18 which is decent. Cons 1. The roof interior on topline is too cheap or even can say worst for the amount we pay. 2. There are many features in instrument cluster doesn't work and even a button in steering wheel is dummy. 3. The software updates quality is poor. It fix one issue but pops up other. So freequent update are necessary to keep it up and working. 4. Driver side window issue is reported by large and they have fixed it in software update. 5. After first software upgrade which fixed my coming home and leaving home feature, my rain sensing wiper did not work. 6. They fixed that in second service software update. 7. There is an option in instrument cluster where up on engaging reverse gear the passenger side mirror should lower and rear wiper should wipe screen once. Both were not writing and only wiper issue they fixed and not the lowering mirror. Their argument is they never declared that in manual so it won't work. If they is the case how they could fix the wiper issue. So be prepared that some of the feature in instrument cluster is only toy feature and might not work. VW responce in this regards is not acceptable. 8. Their tail lamp finishing is too sharp and i got hurt many times with wounds that could take a month to cure. This is true in all vehicle and request you people to check once. They are not ageeing to replace steering even the new sisters have same issue. But not ready to agree their cheap quality product and the case is still pending. 9. The parking breaks are too hard and won't sufficient enough to hold in hilly areas of you are parking. You have to engage with gear for additional support to hold the vehicle. This also they could not fix it. 10. The driver side window should have auto wind up and life on pressing boot key for 3 to 5sec. But it is not working as they don't claim those feature in manual. But the driver side window operates when the ignition switch is off. So i belueve it is done configuration of firmware upgrade could fix it. 11. The AC is quite noisy and it is due to its msnufacturing defect which they can't fix it. 12. The geo fensing gives wrong alarms and at time sir midnight you get alert saying your vehicle left home. 😢. 13. Poor or worst customer care support. Look lije VW does not wish to be in touch with customer on their quarries and when you call customer care and leave any complaint they simply engage you back to reseller and wash their hands. You have to seriously escalate and keep them repeatedly in loop. They hardly respond to your quarries.
I drove 702kms in 41.5 litres petrol on light foot in delhi city (48kms)+ 12kms Highway NH1. ( My daily route is from Saket south Delhi to Kundli Sonipat, Haryana). I do feel hybrid gives better mileage. But on full tank If i do 800+kms its only a step behind from hybrid vehicle.
Hi I have purchased Tiagun petrol automatic car on 20 th dec 2023 . From day one irritating noise coming from applying breaks at slow speed and while taking u turn No solution by dealer and VW My request is all to please check this problem while buying Tiagun Regards Rajender kumar
What are your thoughts on the absence of LED projectors on a 20lakh+ car. Also the rear having drums on a 150bhp car is comcerning. Also., I don’t see the sense in 55 low profile tyres…Here in India it is just nonsense. Lastly, it seems you have very quietly skimmed over the fact that this is a 4 seater car. A Rs 20-22 lakh car and it can’t seat 3 in the rear in decent (if not excellent) comfort? For how long is VW going to naively keep saying “driver’s car”, “performance car” “German Car” etc and force us to compromise on features and space? Btw I own a Polo 1.0 TSI MT and I have to take care of the exact same things you said…squeaky door cladding, being super careful with tyres, being patient with the AC, being aware of throttle input for maximum mileage/performance balance, etc. I have driven my friend’s Venue as well and I had to face NONE of the above problems at all. It is a pleasantly feature-loaded car, the NA variant is very predictable, tractable and easy-going, its spacious, has a good ride, the AC is powerful, there are no squeaks and the steering is perfect in the city I also own a 12 year old Laura so I know what the Germans are actually capable of, if they stop running after Suzuki and Hyundai
I am confused between buying Sonet 1L DCT AT (costing 14.3 L on road) vs Taigun comfortline MT (costing around 12.8L on road). I know its no comparision but these are the cars fitting my budget of Rs 14.5 L.
All fan Bois needs to hear this out, why would you want to compromise on space, comfort and reliability?? Even if your car is 1 or 2 secs faster in acceleration, I mean what's the point? What are you achieving out of it? You talk about driving pleasure, but you forget about turbo lag in 1.0 tsi. And besides that The maximum speed limit of Indian expressway is 120kmph and if you push beyond that speed, you really want to see yamraj. Indian roads are not race tracks, everywhere there will be some animals, or people coming wrong side or some stupid squids will be there or some unpredictable situations. Anyway, my point is you can have fun in any car, you just have to know how it drives. What really matters is safety, reliability, mileage and resale value (don't tell me resale value doesn't matter and c'mon if you're that rich then you get a Mercedes or BMW) I will appreciate that this car scores full points in terms of safety 🎉🎉😁 but you don't want to compromise on reliability, mileage and resale value. For this reason maruti is the king 👑
I have got a 1 lt topline and wanted to do something regarding its performance. U said a lot can be done in the after market. Please do suggest where and what all can be done
A very good review.. Thanks 4 that ❤️.. I own 1.5 DSG GT.. Performance vise a fantastic car. But I may give 4/5 for the fuel efficiency factor as the other competitors too lack mileage in their DCT gearbox. I beleive less than Taigun's mileage maybe less than 10. I get 11-12 in city, but I dont think Creta or Seltos gives even double digit in cities 😊
I have taigun Topline. I feel about suspense and it's motion. It's little bit steaf. As I compair with other car it don't work on univen road and eye cat on road,.
Hey Parth, would that be a good idea to buy a Skoda Kushaq 1.0 Ambient automatic (torque converter) model? I’m from Delhi and I have a budget of 15-16 lacs. My heart says that I should go for the 1.5 GT model but is it worth it? I’ll be driving 9 months in the city and will go for a hill trip twice a year. What about Slavia..is it better than Kushaq?
The 1.0 AT is good if your budget is 15-16. If you want to splurge and you think you’ll be able to use all that extra power then only get the 1.5. Personally I like Slavia and Virtus more than Kushaq and Taigun. You drive them back to back and see what you like. All the best
Its a very Masculine style car like BMW style. If you don't like straight and edge go for Skoda Kushq. But not creta specially if you want to keep distance from Indian copycat choices.
@@LILSLB I’m from the north but it would be stupid for southerners to learn Hindi when it is majorly only spoken in UP and Madhya Pradesh while English is global. I don’t understand why people from the state of UP and Madhya Pradesh are poor, without a job and less educated? Is it because they can only speak hindi? Time to learn English.
Cheap, cost cutting measures for the Indian customer….these sub standard issues would not be accepted in Europe or the US….WE SHOULD SHUN SUCH PRODUCTS
VW, in order to make money while cost cutting in a lot of corners, gave a joke. 5* safety rating doesn't mean a thing if u constantly have to drive daily with niggles in the windows, body, ac, gearbox.
Irritating usage of Hindi in English Channel baiting non Hindi users with English title is becoming very common in tv news channels even in universities etc hindi imperialism if the worst kind
20Mins ka review and not a single word on safety. Please use your social reach to promote safety of cars. Or else at least don't compare with seltos or creta.
We have already spoken about it’s 5 star rating a lot in previous comparos and long term reports on MotorBeam. This is a long term review discussing the car’s day to day behaviour
How many owners of MQB-A0-IN cars here? Which one do you have and how has your experience been?

We can easily predict this car's condition in future :
Squeaky door panels, roof and interior at the very first years of ownership indicates its not put together well and will crack/fall apart in long term.
Talking about the engines im pretty sure the 1.0 tsi with 6 speed TC will be reliable and trouble free than 1.5 tsi. Even though its a small engine it may hold well upto 1 lakh kms then you will notice power loss because the turbo's will be worn out, AC, alternator, timing chain, fuel pump, gdi fuel injectors, all those will start failing due to high pressure from that smaller displacement and carbon build up which will restrict sufficient air flow and you will experience power loss but majority of those parts which fail mentioned above may be covered in warranty/regular services.

Agreed. Thats the reason why Mahindra has opted TC for their 2L engines. However it's not that bad like you buy a lemon that will be ripen next day.
Bro, your content is very good and you often have sensible tests that demonstrate what people actually may want to know 👍

My kushaq also does same...this taigun kushaq are not meant for city traffic..it will tear our pocket for sure..even if we fill petrol for 1000rs just 25 km drive in city could finish it
@@Tropicalmallu 😂😂it’s not that too low. Anyway these are fun machines.Mileage varies depends on your driving style and road conditions.

The door creaks sounded very loud. Surprisingly, I have even heard the same on a BMW X1.
9:09 the hack to avoid that is drive in sports mode in traffic , the " shift confusion" will be resolved
I have gt from last 5 month ..i driven 3500 km and milege excilent up to 22 km pl on highway speed between 80 to 100 and when speed goes 120 t0 140 milege given 14 to 18
And in city its give 9 to 12 .im vary satiesfied customer ...performance jordar,look jordar,engine so silent ..many time i confuce that it on or off...i always use shell v power fuel for good tuning and good performanc.
Hi bro
Can you please share your contact no so that i can call you once
Need some feedback about taigun
Excellent feedback.....
I bought 1.5 GT plus 1 year ago, driven 13K
Look, performance - good
Mileage is ok
AC is poor
On/Off engine is pathetic
Features - poor
Suspension is bad, especially within the city.
Didn't expect this bad performance from vw especially when the same brand owns so many other top of the line other brands
If same issue happens in any Indian car there will be 100 youtubers trashing about it.. when its a foreign brand then they'll tone down the language to say "Its ok..only small problem"..hypocrites
absolute facts
Ulta bol diya brother. Sab tata mahindra ki chaat rhe hote hain inn German brands se intimidate hote h isliye inki zada kami nikaali jaati
It’s actually vice versa. You’ll see other reviewers praising certain Indian automakers a lot more than needed despite those cars having bigger niggles because many of them are paid reviews.
VW anytime
Time is changed if you criticize tata or mahindra then fanboys will call you anti national and this fanboys will make fun of other cars. Even I like Indian cars if you say which India brand I most I will say mahindra.
Many people are complaining about clutch burn in 4 digit odo reading in taigun please check and buy. Service center putting blame on customer riding skills for clutch burnout.
Hi, great honest review I have seen so far. My commute to work daily would be from Thane to Dadar, Waiting for 1.5 GT Manual, would that be more fuel efficient? what do think?
I would suggest get the automatic because Thane to Dadar is quite a distance and with Mumbai’s traffic increasing everyday and roads only getting worse, an AT will be a lot convenient and the extra money you spend will be worth it in the longer run
@@pgohil100 Thanks for replying, I'm just not convinced on the DSG gearbox besides I like driving MT cars, like a pure enthusiast even in traffic 😅
Thanks for sharing it in detail 🙏
@motorbeam har ek tareef k baad 3 baraayi batakar bhai u literally destroyed it in a most loving way
Rohit Sharma doing a Taigun review 😊
don't understand how keeping lower temperature of AC will chill the car faster considering these cars don't have variable speed compressors. The compressor will just switch off when it reaches the target temp.
Hi sir, we were planning to buy a vw taigun but after reading the reviews over at team bhp written during April of 2023 complaining about unreliableity of the day gearbox frequently failing brake pads and constant break downs we dropped it now we are confused on what car to buy (budget 18 lakhs maximum on road) should we go ahead for the 2024 taigun or should we buy the diesel tata Nexon or the urban cruiser hyryder any advice (automatic)
Is it better than create in terms of driving experience. On features they can not beat create or selfie or Koreans and Japanese.
I have Taigun 1.0TSI top varient.
Pros
1. The performance of vehicle is too good.
2. The habdling of vehicle is also too good. It won't disappoint you.
3. The steering is too smooth to handle.
4. Clutch is is also very smooth.
5. The aeating comfort is good for 4 passenger and fifth ine should be very kean personal or should be a kid.
6. Build quality still better when compare to other vehicle but VW has degraded its quality overall.
7. Decent millege fir me as I don't unwantedly accelarate or apply brakes. I get around 12 to 14 in city and in highway some times i got even 23 at a speed of 80 in cruise control. Around 100kmp speed i get around 18 which is decent.
Cons
1. The roof interior on topline is too cheap or even can say worst for the amount we pay.
2. There are many features in instrument cluster doesn't work and even a button in steering wheel is dummy.
3. The software updates quality is poor. It fix one issue but pops up other. So freequent update are necessary to keep it up and working.
4. Driver side window issue is reported by large and they have fixed it in software update.
5. After first software upgrade which fixed my coming home and leaving home feature, my rain sensing wiper did not work.
6. They fixed that in second service software update.
7. There is an option in instrument cluster where up on engaging reverse gear the passenger side mirror should lower and rear wiper should wipe screen once. Both were not writing and only wiper issue they fixed and not the lowering mirror. Their argument is they never declared that in manual so it won't work. If they is the case how they could fix the wiper issue. So be prepared that some of the feature in instrument cluster is only toy feature and might not work. VW responce in this regards is not acceptable.
8. Their tail lamp finishing is too sharp and i got hurt many times with wounds that could take a month to cure. This is true in all vehicle and request you people to check once. They are not ageeing to replace steering even the new sisters have same issue. But not ready to agree their cheap quality product and the case is still pending.
9. The parking breaks are too hard and won't sufficient enough to hold in hilly areas of you are parking. You have to engage with gear for additional support to hold the vehicle. This also they could not fix it.
10. The driver side window should have auto wind up and life on pressing boot key for 3 to 5sec. But it is not working as they don't claim those feature in manual. But the driver side window operates when the ignition switch is off. So i belueve it is done configuration of firmware upgrade could fix it.
11. The AC is quite noisy and it is due to its msnufacturing defect which they can't fix it.
12. The geo fensing gives wrong alarms and at time sir midnight you get alert saying your vehicle left home. 😢.
13. Poor or worst customer care support. Look lije VW does not wish to be in touch with customer on their quarries and when you call customer care and leave any complaint they simply engage you back to reseller and wash their hands. You have to seriously escalate and keep them repeatedly in loop. They hardly respond to your quarries.
You forgot to mention safety rating of Creta (3 star)vs Taigun (5 star)
This Apple Carplay issue is coming after recent ios update.. till last few months everything was working flawless
I drove 702kms in 41.5 litres petrol on light foot in delhi city (48kms)+ 12kms Highway NH1. ( My daily route is from Saket south Delhi to Kundli Sonipat, Haryana). I do feel hybrid gives better mileage. But on full tank If i do 800+kms its only a step behind from hybrid vehicle.
Brilliant review
Hi
I have purchased Tiagun petrol automatic car on 20 th dec 2023 .
From day one irritating noise coming from applying breaks at slow speed and while taking u turn
No solution by dealer and VW
My request is all to please check this problem while buying Tiagun
Regards
Rajender kumar
What are your thoughts on the absence of LED projectors on a 20lakh+ car. Also the rear having drums on a 150bhp car is comcerning.
Also., I don’t see the sense in 55 low profile tyres…Here in India it is just nonsense.
Lastly, it seems you have very quietly skimmed over the fact that this is a 4 seater car. A Rs 20-22 lakh car and it can’t seat 3 in the rear in decent (if not excellent) comfort?
For how long is VW going to naively keep saying “driver’s car”, “performance car” “German Car” etc and force us to compromise on features and space?
Btw I own a Polo 1.0 TSI MT and I have to take care of the exact same things you said…squeaky door cladding, being super careful with tyres, being patient with the AC, being aware of throttle input for maximum mileage/performance balance, etc.
I have driven my friend’s Venue as well and I had to face NONE of the above problems at all. It is a pleasantly feature-loaded car, the NA variant is very predictable, tractable and easy-going, its spacious, has a good ride, the AC is powerful, there are no squeaks and the steering is perfect in the city
I also own a 12 year old Laura so I know what the Germans are actually capable of, if they stop running after Suzuki and Hyundai
for screen issue factory reset it.
I am confused between buying Sonet 1L DCT AT (costing 14.3 L on road) vs Taigun comfortline MT (costing around 12.8L on road). I know its no comparision but these are the cars fitting my budget of Rs 14.5 L.
You missed on GNCAP 5 stars of Taigun/Kushaq which puts it at top of all other cars.
All fan Bois needs to hear this out, why would you want to compromise on space, comfort and reliability??
Even if your car is 1 or 2 secs faster in acceleration, I mean what's the point? What are you achieving out of it? You talk about driving pleasure, but you forget about turbo lag in 1.0 tsi. And besides that The maximum speed limit of Indian expressway is 120kmph and if you push beyond that speed, you really want to see yamraj. Indian roads are not race tracks, everywhere there will be some animals, or people coming wrong side or some stupid squids will be there or some unpredictable situations.
Anyway, my point is you can have fun in any car, you just have to know how it drives.
What really matters is safety, reliability, mileage and resale value (don't tell me resale value doesn't matter and c'mon if you're that rich then you get a Mercedes or BMW)
I will appreciate that this car scores full points in terms of safety 🎉🎉😁
but you don't want to compromise on reliability, mileage and resale value.
For this reason maruti is the king 👑
Sai baat hai bro tum Maruti Chalao acchi hai
Man so many words to cope 😂 no one reading your paragraphs of justification for getting a maruti 😭
All this drivel just to promote a maruti.. atleast promote a tata..
I have got a 1 lt topline and wanted to do something regarding its performance. U said a lot can be done in the after market. Please do suggest where and what all can be done
Do this review for Verna as well
Please add English subtitles.. Verymuch awaited video.. not able to understand anything 😂
I’m happy with brezza no issues at all❤
If give Volkswagen drives.. Breza and all they will find breza is out dated.. Compair to tiagun 1.5 .. Top class car Volkswagen tiagun..
under 10L - best car with best suspension for bad roads?
Feels like a promoted video!! Only disadvantages spoken here
A very good review.. Thanks 4 that ❤️.. I own 1.5 DSG GT.. Performance vise a fantastic car. But I may give 4/5 for the fuel efficiency factor as the other competitors too lack mileage in their DCT gearbox. I beleive less than Taigun's mileage maybe less than 10. I get 11-12 in city, but I dont think Creta or Seltos gives even double digit in cities 😊
Nice content.
How does it perform on off-road
My Fav Car❤
I have taigun comfortline its new so there is no any problem and giving mileage of 18.5
Have you modified it? Dash cam, back cam?
@@harshaar5543 no back camera cannot be installed
Not sure about carplay, android auto probably has less bugs.
Other 2 issues have already been resolved by VW.
The door squeeking issue, is it common with these new mid range VWs
What about the safety parameters? 🤔
Hey is the 3 cylinder 999cc engine in Taigun also good?
It is refined and quick, but not sure about the long term reliability
Guess Motorbeams teaching Hindi, initially couldn't understand anything, but overtime started to understand the Hindi parts
No comparison with Grand Vitara?
Op bhaiya ♥️
I ve booked Skoda Kushaq ambtion 1.5 DSG
If you give a person 1.5Turbo, who would resist himself to drive it like a maruti ? Consider the car only if you can bear the pain of 10km/L mixed.
Drive in a higher gear it can easily run at low rpm. Its not that hard.
this paid can be overcome by EVO NEXGEN TSI CNG systems,,,running cost comes down to half and performance is as good as petrol !
No one on entire CZcams doing review of BMW X1 2023 why? Any specific policies, reasons or control of brands over CZcams? Shocking 😮
BMW doesn't have a car in their media fleet yet.
@MotorBeam may try for test ride cars in their showroom. Ur opinion on product does matter a lot for many of us.
There isnt any ECU mods for the 1.5 TSI yet. Its out only for the 1.0 TSI.
Sure? Because I have driven someone’s remapped T-Roc in India and it’s essentially the same engine
@@pgohil100they probably send its ECU all the way to Finland because there is an agency their who decode the lock on 1.5 TSI ecu's
In my car when its running on 2nd gear(DSG) sometime it shudders. Is someone else here who felt the same ?
Is this English or Hindi channel?
I have taigun Topline. I feel about suspense and it's motion. It's little bit steaf.
As I compair with other car it don't work on univen road and eye cat on road,.
Nice. Please keep the content in English. If you are adding regional language (like Hindi), add subtitles for that part. Cheers
Why do you have separate Hindi channel?
Its a hindi channel or English? Should i keep a translator with me to understand your hindi
Some people are saying, it is a bad car. Some people are saying, it is a good car. 😅😅😅😅
VW service fixed door crack issue permanently. Been over a year since it’s fixed, haven’t resurfaced.
Hey Parth, would that be a good idea to buy a Skoda Kushaq 1.0 Ambient automatic (torque converter) model? I’m from Delhi and I have a budget of 15-16 lacs. My heart says that I should go for the 1.5 GT model but is it worth it? I’ll be driving 9 months in the city and will go for a hill trip twice a year. What about Slavia..is it better than Kushaq?
The 1.0 AT is good if your budget is 15-16. If you want to splurge and you think you’ll be able to use all that extra power then only get the 1.5. Personally I like Slavia and Virtus more than Kushaq and Taigun. You drive them back to back and see what you like. All the best
Its a very Masculine style car like BMW style. If you don't like straight and edge go for Skoda Kushq. But not creta specially if you want to keep distance from Indian copycat choices.
Request to talk in English so we from south can understand it easily.
I think you guys should be ashamed of not having ability to understannd our national language - HINDI.
@@abhayviradia86 Hindi isn’t our national language kid. It’s just one of the official languages in India.
You should be ashamed of not knowing south language
South people don’t mind talking in foreign language but have an issue with people speaking in native language
@@LILSLB I’m from the north but it would be stupid for southerners to learn Hindi when it is majorly only spoken in UP and Madhya Pradesh while English is global. I don’t understand why people from the state of UP and Madhya Pradesh are poor, without a job and less educated? Is it because they can only speak hindi? Time to learn English.
😌I prefer the kushaq butterfly 🦋 grill compared to taigun
Compare taigun n seltos
For a moment i thought this is motorbeam hindi channel
I didn’t know Rohit sharma did car reviews
VW 🔥💪🏼
Weak ac, no bonnet insulation makes the front seat very heated during drive on highways
Bumper to bumper traffic main clutch plate smell aati hai isma
For 3k Km you said spend 27k rupees.... please confirm that.
Yes, Rs. 9 per km. 9 x 3000 = 27,000/-
VW cars has the highest crash rating compared to Hyundai cars. How can you miss that?
No owner gives complete honest review even in the comments section. Fanboy car with headaches
Change the channel name to motorbeam Hindi 2 bro
Cheap, cost cutting measures for the Indian customer….these sub standard issues would not be accepted in Europe or the US….WE SHOULD SHUN SUCH PRODUCTS
ROHIT SHARMA DOING TAIGUN REVIEW 😂
VW, in order to make money while cost cutting in a lot of corners, gave a joke. 5* safety rating doesn't mean a thing if u constantly have to drive daily with niggles in the windows, body, ac, gearbox.
Irritating usage of Hindi in English Channel baiting non Hindi users with English title is becoming very common in tv news channels even in universities etc hindi imperialism if the worst kind
dhanil bhai ame pan gujrati chiye😂
Almost all Skoda/VW reviews are sponsored. Jeez...
Can't understand Hindi? Why bro?
20Mins ka review and not a single word on safety. Please use your social reach to promote safety of cars. Or else at least don't compare with seltos or creta.
No mention of safety anywhere in the video, why so?
We have already spoken about it’s 5 star rating a lot in previous comparos and long term reports on MotorBeam. This is a long term review discussing the car’s day to day behaviour
Skoda has marketed enough about safety and many people who know about the car already know that. No need to mention it again i guess
Japanese is the way to go 🎎🚙👍
Sir this issue is big sir

AC is not upto the mark.....totally fail......
