Volkswagen has revealed a facelift for the value-oriented Taigun compact SUV.
Exterior revisions focus on the headlights, bumpers and grille. Higher trims gain a full-width light bar and an illuminated badge, giving the Taigun a more contemporary appearance.
The GT trim leans into blacked-out accents for a sportier stance.

Inside, Volkswagen focused on improved materials and trim rather than a major redesign.
Base models retain analog gauges and a small driver display; higher trims receive a digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch touchscreen.
Panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats and automatic climate control remain among the available convenience features.
1.0 and 1.5 TSI engines retained

1.0 TSI (115 hp)
1.5 TSI (150 hp)
The primary change is in the transmission package.
The base 1.0 TSI now pairs with an all-new 8-speed automatic, replacing the previous 6-speed unit,
while the 1.5 TSI is standardized with a 7-speed DSG automatic.

Built in India, the Taigun will be sold in select global markets.
Volkswagen expects pricing to range from ₹10.99–19.19 lakh (≈ ₹1.099–1.919 million), which equates to roughly $13,500–$24,000. Converted to Korean won, that’s about ₩18–32 million (approximately $13,500–$24,000).
In India, the Taigun will compete in the subcompact SUV segment against models such as the Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet.
