Volkswagen is gearing up to launch the facelifted version of its popular compact SUV, the Taigun, in India, with fresh spy images offering a clearer look at the updates expected ahead of its official debut. The sighting comes shortly after the updated Skoda Kushaq was introduced, signalling Volkswagen Group’s broader refresh strategy for its India-focused SUV lineup.
The Volkswagen Taigun facelift has been spotted testing multiple times in recent weeks, and the latest images suggest subtle yet noticeable design revisions. While the overall silhouette remains familiar, the front fascia appears sharper, with revised detailing expected around the grille, bumper, and lighting elements. These changes are likely aimed at giving the SUV a more contemporary and premium appearance.
At the rear, the facelifted Taigun is expected to receive minor cosmetic enhancements, possibly including updated tail-lamp graphics and revised bumper elements. Alloy wheel designs may also be refreshed, in line with similar updates seen on the Skoda Kushaq facelift, though the core proportions of the SUV are expected to remain unchanged.
