Volkswagen Taigun GT Line: The Volkswagen Taigun GT Line is a sporty compact SUV, which means it has everything drivers are looking for; style, performance, and safety all in one package. The GT Line is equipped with a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and is not only modern but also has high-tech features, thus adding a sportier dimension to the popular Taigun and still being practical for daily commutes.
Design
The GT Line has its unique features that include exterior elements that are blacked-out giving it a very bold and aggressive look. There is a great visual impact of the car due to the glossy black front grille, darkened LED headlamps, 17-inch black alloy wheels, red brake calipers on some variants, and dark chrome door handles. The interior cabin has a dark-themed layout, black leatherette upholstery with red stitching, laser-red ambient lighting, and a glossy black dashboard, all of which add a premium sporty feel.
Performance
The Taigun GT Line is powered by a 999 cc, 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 114 bhp and 178 Nm of torque. The engine can be paired with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The SUV provides an interactive driving experience through its fast acceleration, nimble handling, and control at high speeds. The fuel consumption figures are 19.87 kmpl for the manual and 18.15 kmpl for the automatic variant.
Technology
The GT Line takes it a step further by equipping the vehicle with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an 8-inch digital driver display, heated front seats, and automatic climate control. All these features are meant to improve driver and passenger comfort, convenience, and connectivity.
Safety
Volkswagen carries out the safety measures of the GT Line as its priority given that the model has a Global NCAP rating of 5-star both for adults and children. The security features that come with the vehicle include six airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Control, control for hill start, brakes for multi-collision, and a monitoring system for tire pressure which altogether promise a very safe driving experience.
Reviews
The Taigun GT Line is positively reviewed by both its owners and experts for its driving pleasure, strong construction, and high safety standards. Its sporty appearance, ventilated seats, and quick-to-respond infotainment system are among the things that are highly valued while the slightly hard suspension and not-so-spacious rear seating are somehow considered to be minor negatives.
Price
The cost of Volkswagen Taigun GT Line is estimated to be around ₹14.29 Lakh for the manual version and ₹15.35 Lakh for the automatic version (ex-showroom, New Delhi). It gives a very good mix of performance, design, and safety which makes it a very attractive option in the compact SUV category.
