‘Volkswagen’ means people’s car. But despite what some philosophers might tell you, people are different, with differing preferences, needs, and aspirations. However, people do seem to like SUVs in general, and Volkswagen’s SUVs in particular, like the Taigun and the Tayron. So what is it about Volkswagen’s SUVs that has them capture the hearts and minds of buyers?
To begin with, it’s the design of these SUVs. The clean, sharp lines are typically German, and instead of succumbing to the latest design trends, Volkswagen relies on its trademark timeless elegance, which becomes a defining factor in the styling of its SUVs and a visual identity. Be it the character lines along the length, or the upward kink on the C-pillar, it is impossible to mistake a Volkswagen SUV for anything else.
As befits their German heritage, Volkswagen SUVs are also designed and engineered to be effortless mile-munchers, but they are equally at home in the hustle and bustle of the city. The only distinction between the two is that the Taigun is effortless, compact, and good at blending in, while the Tayron is stately, elegant, and excellent at standing out. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preferences.
Another defining characteristic are the powertrains. Be it the 1.0 TSI or the 1.5 TSI engines in the Taigun, or the 2.0 TSI in the Tayron, there is a familiarity in the power delivery of these turbocharged petrol engines, as the shove of torque pushes you into the back of the extremely comfortable seats — look, another shared attribute!
The biggest compliment we can think of is that a Tayron owner may still want to have a Taigun as the second SUV in his garage, and for a Taigun owner, there is no better upgrade than the Tayron. That is the power of lineage for Volkswagen SUVs!
