Volkswagen Taigun

The Volkswagen Taigun is a subcompact crossover SUV built in India since 2021 for the Indian and Mexican markets, and exported elsewhere as the T-Cross. It is based on the long-wheelbase Volkswagen T-Cross and rides on the MQB A0 IN platform made for India under the Volkswagen Group's India 2.0 plan, with about 95 per cent of its parts sourced locally. Buyers choose between a 1.0-litre three-cylinder TSI petrol engine and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder TSI. In October 2022 it became the first car to score five stars for both adult and child occupants under Global NCAP's newer protocols, and it passed 100,000 sales by September 2024. The name was first used for an unrelated Up-based concept shown in 2012 that was cancelled, and a facelift was unveiled in April 2026.
