Skoda Auto Volkswagen India is set to launch the 2026 Volkswagen Taigun facelift, which will feature visible design changes and updates to its features. The updated SUV was recently spotted on Indian roads, giving a glimpse of its new exterior design. The front grille will be larger, with gloss black elements and a D-shaped silver insert, while the headlamps will be redesigned with a connected LED light bar. The side profile will feature new alloy wheels and prominent black cladding, and the rear will get updated taillamp clusters.<\/p>\n
The dimensions of the SUV will remain unchanged, with a length of 4,221mm, width of 1,760mm, and height of 1,612mm, along with a wheelbase of 2,651mm. The interior is expected to receive updates similar to the new Kushaq, including a new cabin theme, panoramic sunroof, digital driver’s display, updated infotainment software, and rear seats with massage function.<\/p>\n
Mechanically, the Taigun facelift will retain the existing TSI petrol engines, including the 1.0L engine producing 115PS and 178Nm, and the 1.5L engine delivering 150PS and 250Nm. The 1.0L engine may get a new 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, replacing the current 6-speed automatic, while the 1.5L engine will continue to be paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.<\/p>\n
The price range of the 2026 Volkswagen Taigun facelift is expected to see a small hike, with the current model priced between Rs 11.42 lakh and Rs 19.19 lakh (ex-showroom). The updates to the Taigun are expected to make it a more competitive offering in the mid-size SUV segment, which has seen significant growth in recent years. With its refreshed design and updated features, the Taigun facelift is likely to appeal to customers looking for a premium and feature-packed SUV. Overall, the 2026 Volkswagen Taigun facelift is expected to be a significant improvement over the current model, and its launch is highly anticipated in the Indian automotive market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
