Volkswagen has started exporting the made-in-India Taigun to overseas markets. The first batch of 1,232 cars are being shipped to Mexico from the port of Mumbai.



The Volkswagen Taigun is based on the MQB-A0-IN platform. In Mexico, the car is sold as the T-Cross.

The VW T-Cross is offered in three variants: Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. Unlike the Indian version, the T-Cross is powered by a 1.6-litre petrol engine that produces 108 BHP and 155 Nm. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.



Volkswagen has been exporting vehicles from India since 2011. Today, made-in-India products are shipped to 61 countries across South America, Central America, Africa, Indian sub-continent, Southeast Asia, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries & the Caribbean region.

Boy would I love to sit inside this car and see if it has the the typical VW-ness that we see missing in the sold-in-India Taigun.

Would like to see this blue for the Indian Taigun as well!

If the Chakan/Aurangabad plant can make them then I hope VW India at least considers offering some of these iterations to Indian consumers barring the region specific requirements e.g. heated seats etc.

Taigun/T-Cross are quite capable cars and I'm sure that Indian consumers would appreciate more engine options and other features etc. I am sure VAG being the giant that they are would have the access to the required resources to offer these iterations of the car to Indian consumers as well e.g. emissions norms etc.

But yet amazing to see how the VAG India unit has been export oriented for a while now! Kudos to the team!

For everyone's information, VW Taigun has already been available in Nepal since December 2021. On pricing, it marginally sits above Kushaq. I've a seen quite a few in my city, mostly in silver color. It appears more of a larger version of Polo 1.6 but with a quite busy rear. It may overtake the sales of Kushaq later on because VW has a better brand recall here than Skoda.

Made-in-India LHD Volkswagen T-Cross for Mexico: gets six airbags and AEB as standard. Will it follow on the footsteps of its big brother the Taos in Latin NCAP?

What a lovely shade of blue that Taigun is in. Why are we getting such limited options in shades in India?

Volkswagen T-Cross changes name in Mexico and goes to be called Taigun.

Model is sold in the country with units imported from India and different design from the Brazilian version.

Interestingly, Volkswagen reports that the Brazilian T-Cross will return to Mexico after a year, but with a differentiated offer. That is, from now on it will be marketed only to fleet owners, in simpler versions, and always equipped with aspirated 1.6 engine.
