2021 Volkswagen Taigun: Exterior
The Volkswagen Taigun seeks inspiration from the design of the T-Cross sold overseas, by having an upright stance and crisp character lines. The SUV gets full LED headlamps with daytime running LEDs above it, a heavy dose of chrome for the front bumper garnish and fog lamp surrounds and a silver skid plate.
The side profile of the Volkswagen Taigun is very much similar to that of the Skoda Kushaq, with which it shares its MQB AO IN platform. Here, the SUV gets 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and roof rails. The rear profile of the SUV gets a heavy amount of chrome as well on the rear bumper, with a long tail light cluster spread across its width, which has LED illumination.
The Volkswagen Taigun has been made available in a total of five different paint schemes – Curcuma Yellow, Wild Cherry Red, Reflex Silver, Candy White and Carbon Steel Grey.
