Mr Baghel,

If your budget is 20 lacs (or even little higher) then please go for VW Taigun 1.5 GT which will be heavily equipped with Convenience & Safety features. If I was in the market today I would definitely get Taigun 1.5 GT Automatic with DSG Gearbox. Because you get the same Engine of T-Roc which makes 150 PS and 250 NM Torque, is lightning fast and reliable too.

Taigun top model definitely will give a feel good factor, top notch quality and great drive pleasure similar to what T-Roc does. T-Roc has few positives in my personal opinion like better design, Europe made and better suspension (segment above too) but it has one huge negative point i.e being a CBU which brings risk for long term ownership, parts availability and expensive spares. It should never be one's primary car until VW manufactures it in India.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks

Bro, first of all Polo is a gem of a car. Each part ooze Quality & remain new for years.

1.0 definitely is not a pocket rocket but serves the purpose like other naturally aspirated Engines. It has good amount of power above 1500 rpm and reaches 110 kmph with ease.

In your budget you may get Trendline or Comfortline. Please go check it out with 4 members and see it for yourself.

In this segment each car has initial lag. Tiago, I20 or Baleno

Thanks

Shetty Ji,

Thanks for your long message & explaining things so well. One thing is for sure, that ownership experience might not be as smooth as Honda. Honda & Toyota have great after sales experience which no other brand can match.

However, with parts availability for Kushaq/Taigun, there won't be an issue because they are having 95% localisation. Among these, it is your personal choice tbh. I actually would pick VW Taigun over Kushaq because VW has better reputation than Skoda and VW have tasted more success because of VW Polo. However, you need to check dealer reputation in your city too. In Punjab, Lally Motors VW have very good reputation and so far ownership experience for my Polo and T-Roc is definitely above average. I don't mind a day or two wait for a part as long as workmanship is perfect and car is returned back in a perfect shape/quality service.

Sadly Honda and Toyota doesn't have any inspiring products under 20 lacs. I almost booked a Civic and honestly still love it, but my wife didn't wanted a Sedan.

For you I would say, whichever you buy, please go for 1.5 TSI and 7 Speed DSG because it has unmatched power, refined Engine and must be more safety specd with 6 airbags etc. as well.

Please let me know if you have more questions. Your question will be published on my website because it is a very valid question and many will have a similar doubt in future.

Thanks
