Overview
- Volkswagen launched the updated Taigun in Mexico on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, offering a Comfortline at 475,990 MXN and a new GT at 501,990 MXN.
- The model keeps the 1.0‑liter turbo 114 hp engine but replaces the prior six‑speed automatic with an eight‑speed Tiptronic to reduce throttle lag and improve responsiveness.
- Interior upgrades include a 10‑inch central screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster and a wireless phone charger to raise perceived tech value.
- Safety kit remains strong with six airbags, ABS, electronic stability control and autonomous emergency braking, and Volkswagen bundles five years of warranty or 100,000 km plus multi‑year theft insurance.
- Taigun will continue to be imported from India and Volkswagen says it avoids a 50% tariff under its production quota, a move that helps keep the refreshed model competitively priced against rivals in Mexico's crowded B‑SUV market.
