Comparing it with the recently launched Skoda Kushaq facelift in India, it is expected that the Taigun facelift will likely bring similar additions. The 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine may receive a new 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission, replacing the previously offered 6-speed unit. On the other hand, the 1.5-litre variant is expected to continue with the 7-speed DSG gearbox, and it could also feature disc brakes on all four wheels.

Notably, the Skoda Kushaq 1.5-litre variant is now offered exclusively with an automatic transmission, and it remains to be seen whether Volkswagen will continue to offer a manual gearbox option for the Taigun or not.

While a few cosmetic changes can also be expected in the interior, for confirmed details we may have to wait just a few more days, as the launch date has now been announced.

Stay tuned for more updates!
