Volkswagen Taigun Facelift Spied: What to Expect from the Upcoming SUV Update

The Volkswagen Taigun, one of the most popular premium SUVs in the mid-size segment, is all set to receive a facelift. Recently, test mules of the updated Taigun have been spotted on Indian roads, giving us a glimpse of what’s coming. This facelift will mark a mid-life update for the SUV, bringing it in line with Volkswagen’s latest design language and ensuring it remains competitive in the crowded SUV market.

What’s New in the Facelift?

While the test car was camouflaged, a closer look reveals that Volkswagen is refreshing the front and rear design. The facelifted Taigun is expected to feature:

• Revised Headlamps & Grille – Inspired by Volkswagen’s global design language for SUVs, the new face will look sharper and more premium.
• Updated Tail Lamps – The rear end will also receive styling tweaks to give it a fresher appearance.
• New Bumpers & Alloy Wheels – Sportier elements are expected, enhancing the road presence of the SUV.

Inside, Volkswagen is likely to offer updated upholstery, more connected car tech, and enhanced safety features to appeal to modern buyers.

Engines and Performance

The facelift is expected to continue with the same engine options:

• 1.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol producing 115 hp
• 1.5-litre TSI turbo-petrol with 150 hp

Both engines will be offered with manual and automatic gearbox options, including the well-regarded DSG transmission.

Competition in the Market

The Taigun facelift will take on its sibling, the upcoming Skoda Kushaq facelift, along with rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, and MG Astor. With the updated styling and tech, Volkswagen aims to keep the Taigun appealing to buyers who seek a German-engineered SUV with premium features.

Pre-Owned Volkswagen Taigun – A Smart Choice

At Kamath Ventures, we understand that buying a brand-new SUV isn’t always the most practical choice. The good news is that pre-owned Volkswagen Taiguns are already available in the market, offering the same German build quality, driving pleasure, and premium features—at a far more attractive price.

Whether you’re waiting for the facelift or considering a current Taigun, a well-maintained pre-owned model could be the smartest way to experience Volkswagen’s engineering.

The Volkswagen Taigun facelift promises sharper looks, updated tech, and the same thrilling drive experience that has made the SUV a favorite among enthusiasts.
