Olive green Volkswagen Taigun SUV

The Volkswagen Taigun specifications start with two TSI engines. The 1.0 TSI is a 999 cc three cylinder rated at 85 kW, or 115 PS, with 178 Nm from 1850 to 4000 rpm. The 1.5 TSI EVO is a 1498 cc four cylinder with Active Cylinder Technology, rated at 110 kW, or 150 PS, with 250 Nm.

The 1.0 TSI pairs with a six speed manual or an eight speed automatic, and the 1.5 TSI with a seven speed DSG. Volkswagen's figures, certified under the CMVR rules, are 19.98 km/l for the manual, 19.54 km/l for the automatic and 18.85 km/l for the DSG. For the trim by trim breakdown, see the Taigun mileage.

At 4221 mm long and 1612 mm tall, the Taigun is 1760 mm wide and rides on a 2651 mm wheelbase. The tank holds 50 litres and the boot 385 litres. The new brochure does not give a ground clearance figure, so we leave it out. Kerb weight runs from 1213 kg for the Comfortline to 1320 kg for the GT Plus Sport.

The 1.0 TSI cars have front discs and rear drums, while both 1.5 TSI cars get disc brakes all round. The Comfortline and Highline trims ride on 16 inch wheels, and the Topline, GT Line and GT Plus on 17 inch alloys.

Volkswagen Taigun power and torque explained

The Taigun facelift keeps two turbo petrol engines. The 1.0 TSI three cylinder makes 115 PS and 178 Nm, now with a six speed manual or a new eight speed automatic. The 1.5 TSI four cylinder makes 150 PS and 250 Nm with a seven speed DSG.

The 1.0 TSI covers nine of the eleven variants, while the 1.5 TSI is kept for the GT Plus Chrome and GT Plus Sport.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.0L TSI Petrol spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 1.0 TSI holds its 178 Nm from 1850 to 4000 rpm and reaches 115 PS between 5000 and 5500 rpm. Because the torque is spread so wide, it pulls smoothly in city traffic, and the extra ratios of the eight speed automatic help on the highway. This is the engine for mixed daily use, and the Taigun trim list shows how much choice it gives you.

The 1.5 TSI makes 250 Nm from 1600 to 3500 rpm and 150 PS between 5000 and 6000 rpm. That is a big step up in pulling power for overtakes and a loaded cabin. It also has Active Cylinder Technology, and Volkswagen certifies it at 18.85 km/l, close to the 1.0 TSI automatic, as the Taigun mileage page shows.
