Please VW/Skoda listen to this man! He is an ardent well-wisher of you. But very knowledgeable at the same time. It's emotional for him and many like him to see good products from your company falling behind others because of small things.
VW /Skoda doesnt need turbo engine both the Cars have excellent stability/Handling which other Cars like seltos /Creta have worst stability . Even handling is an issue in Creta/Seltos . What is use the If u have all disc brake in Hyundai Tucson if apply very sharp sudden braking , vehicle will wobble /it may topple . Worst stability in Hyundai/kia . This fellow is crap
This man's view is exactly 💯 percent correct.Those who are existing skoda customers/wishing to buy one looking for this sort of improvements when compared to dynamics and safety of hyundai and maruti!
As a car enthusiast and Taigun owner, I agree with all your points…Hope VW listens to your advice.🎉 Agar ye bhi Ford ki tarah gaye tab log bolenege yaar kya car banate the plz wapas aa jao😂
Easiest way to deal with Size factor of Kushaq/Taigun by making tagline "Size doesn't matter but Performance, Dynamics matters"🗿 For long lasting performance,buy Volkswagen,"Das Auto"..Skoda,"Simply Clever".
The most amazing thing you have said in this video is giving many features in the top variant and price it high. This will drive huge sales of lower variant also. This is a genius marketing technique which the Koreans understand!
VW/Skoda should have advertised their strength ie Driving dynamics, stability,fun to drive nature,paint,Build Quality etc by doing Ad Campaign simplest Hindi language ie 1) "Isko chalaoge to segment me baaki cars bhul jaoge" 2) "Paint Quality aisi ki saalo baad bhi gaadi dikhe nayi jaisi" 3) After closing the door " Volkswagen...Build Quality, Safety jo feel karaye Tank jaisi"/ Build Quality that feels like a Tank.. 4) "Ek baar chalakr to dekho" 5) "Turbo Engines jo chalate hi chehre pr muskurahat laaye" etc All this lines are created by me while writing this comment so VW/Skoda should give me credits if they use this lines😅😂(Just kidding)
I guess that is why the customers are increasingly choosing to run after tin can cars with naturally aspirated engines instead of Turbo charged engines, sorted dynamics, best in class safety and maximum wheelbase.

Maine kal hi nai Kushaq 1.5 DSG ghar lai. Yeh meri first car hai. I made my decision after watching all your videos and felt confident to go ahead and purchase. Lately I realised that driving dynamics and engines should be the first priority.
Must haves for Top variants 1. 360 degree camera 2. All four disc brakes 3. Rat mesh under the engine 4. Reclining back seats 5. Manual A/c control 6. Sliding door blinds 7. 225- 50- R17 tyres
I agree to the point you mentioned about size…Taigun/Kushaq looks and feels closer to sub 4m segment rather than above 4m, dimensions should be fixed immediately, also other high selling points can include panoramic sunroof and a good audio system with 360 camera…customer can’t compromise on these basics…everything else is sales multiplier
vw/skoda needs some updates but i think their primary focus is good drive + great build. the market sentiment here focus i think is more on feature/gimmicks or mileage which is why kia/hyundai/maruthi are successful despite of questionable build qualities. on the other hand tata and mahindra build quality is great and engines are decent too…so id compare vw/skoda to them. Having said that, yea reasonable updates to some features would make their price point more attractive

I have bought Kushaq 1.0AT last year and driven 16k km till now. Car is fabulous but given a chance to buy again for same cost I would chose Elevate today. Reasons 1. Air leakage inside cabin, even when AC is OFF 2. AC performance in peak summer 3. Rattling and squeezing noise 4. High assesories and part cost 5. Low resale value 6. AC touch panel is risky to operate while driving. 7. Interior doesn't look premium 8. Look small on road 9. Manual gearbox isn't smooth
Being owner of taigun Gt I really wish for these updates... 360 camera Front collision avoidance Better audio system Better horn Better rear seat One touch power windows Better button and plastic quality inside. Manual hvac controls. Full size instrument cluster I really hope that vw listens through your platform..
I admire your love for VW/Skoda.. they should listen to you.. they have everything to be dominant player and rightly so .. but they lack intent probably.. they should listen to the Indian market
VW/SKODA need a Hatchback and good one. They need new launches. Thing is we need Competition and not monopoly of 1-2 brands. Elevate is BORING trust me. Hyundai engine is equally good and turbo is WOW All car brands need sales for good consumer benefits.
Brilliant analysis as usual Paaji 💯🤘🏻 Skoda-Volkswagen both cars from them Taigun/Kushaq no doubt require major upgrade as highlighted. The international face-lift is already out with major upgrade and design change known as T-Cross and interior changes as well. Agreed that they should improve on many quality points in terms of fit and finish especially in interiors. If they do not give ADAS as well its fine but 360 degree camera fit & finish improvement and features of polo that they have taken out should be brought back in. Also now Skoda VW will announce their plan on 27th Feb about their products and plans. They are open to partnership and already Mahindra & JSW are in race for buying stake for EV business. Volkswagen already is working on Low cost EV headed by Skoda. Secondly the sub 4 meter SUV which is being again built on MQB-A0-IN platform I read only Skoda will come in that segment Volkswagen might enter or may not enter that segment. I feel Volkswagen should also enter the segment. And they can also spawn a hatchback. The tax rule in which they can bring in 2000 units of cars from outside India like they brought in T-ROC earlier. I feel they should try to sell Skoda Scala with 1.TSI that would do Amazing stuff for them if the price comes on right point. 💯🤘🏻

Planning to buy top model virtus.....but look at top model's price difference... Verna top model with ADAS -2 is 21 lac... virtus top model costs 23.5lac.....without ADAS....both cars have 5 star safety..... Why should I buy virtus over Verna....which is without ADAS and costs me 2.5lac extra??????

They should either reduce the price or increase the dimension for the price. There is a complete disconnect. Even Honda was able to price elevate better than what VW ever could.
My wishlist: 1. They should provide colour changeable ambient light and virtual cockpit. Infact virtual cockpit colours are changeable through coding so whats stopping vw to just enable it through software. 2. Hardware AC controls are available in T Cross (taigun) in foreign markets. So they can just lift the hardware from there at no extra cost. 3. They should raise the seat belt receiver unit. Its very hard to put on seat belt for heavy passengers. 4. They should try to develop an ecosystem for accessories. They should launch accessories store through their website where consumers can directly purchase the accessories. Indian love accessorising their cars. It will provide an additional marketplace for skoda/ vw too. 5. They should add a padding at the corner of rear seats just like they provide in Skoda Kamiq in europe. It would provide a little more confortable seating to rear passengers. 6. They should provide LED setup in fog lamps too. Yellow fogs although are better for sure but it just downgrades the front modern look of kushaq. They do provide white fogs in Kodiaq. 7. They can provide autonomous self parking in these cars. It would really differentiate them from the segment and add that wow factor too. Lastly, I just hope the retrofitting culture like polo starts in kushaq/ taigun too so that current owners have option to add latest features as per their wish.
Tnks brov for the genuine practical requests as you are the voice that will be heard, however I would request you to add to you request for the “Very PRACTICAL FEATURES WHICH ARE CUT- ONE TOUCH WINDOWS , VW FLAGSHIP HORN”.
Proud to be connected to this channel since a long time. Most interesting and valuable information without any fancy B-Rolls, Music or drama. Simple to understand and as usual connected to us common man. ❤️
The only reason I am not wiiling to buy any new SKODA/VW is the Indianisation, It left all the german interior build charm it has in KAROQ which is my daily driver. I agree with each and every point as it is not coping up with the competition, Please SKODA VW listen to him and I will get one for sure.
Great video Paaji! Absolutely agree with all your points. Regarding 6 airbags, last year while purchasing car, we extended our budget for Topline model. Today a customer looking for sedan might consider Verna over VW twins as the former has 6 airbags from base variant and both the offerings are 5 star rated. (a general person might not have much knowledge about unstable bodyshell)
Great video! It's unlikely VW/Skoda would listen, though. I might be in a minority, but I like smaller cars because of ease of manoeuvrability and parking.
Thank you so much Paaji, beautiful and yet again an emotional video straight from the heart. You have covered all the points that these cars need in 2024. I would move electronic brake and usb port near the irvm to must haves in top end variant.
Very true “kuch chije zaroori nehi India hai toh India jaise he ho”. India market is demanding and competition is growing if VW wants to be in the market they have to give more good feature. In t-roc 2021 they removed lot of good feature which are now in almost all Indian Cars. I feel sad that those features were removed by saying this is not used in India market and are not required on Indian roads. But I am still happy with my t-roc because of its practicality some features are missing but still I am happy.
they should have localised a car like Skoda karoq which looks muscular and a proper suv personally i think taigun looks like a jacked up hatchback. other factors like panaromic sunroof which people like should be given and indian people go with engine size ki bo kitne CC ka hai lay man does not get how the turbo performs against more displacement they should give the old 1.2 tsi or 1.5 mpi and also the epc error in beginning made people reluctant do go with the brand
europe"s problems are world"s problems but India"s or South Asia"s are not world"s problems, quote by Dr jai Shankar. so Mr. sunder deep Singh ji why are you suggesting to vw CEO i.s Mr Ashish Gupta, his attitude in most of the interviews is like what Dr. jai Shankar said but sorry to say that what you suggested is absolutely truth for Indians.If they i.s vw & Skoda follow your suggestions they will be on top of the world but alas .......
360 camera na bhi mile but Better Rear Camera with adaptive guidelines ki kaafi zarurat hai... Hyundai apni exter me bhi better camera deta hai with adaptive guidelines..... ye chhoti chhoti cheeze bohot impact daalti hai gaadi ki sales pe
One more change i would expect atleast on the virtus not on slavia it nags me alot. The rear stance of the car when u look it from the side view it doesn't feel very sedanish its way to much raised it almost feels like the front is dipping a lot and makes the rear area just below the quater pannel it feels to much of the chassis is exposed. It looks really ugly. And also due to this when u r driving up until the compact suv's and u see virtus on road from behind, her catalytic converter, exhaust tips, the oil tank and beam axle or cross member is visible . These things are also same in slavia but the stance doesn't seems that bad don't know why maybe alloys are far more beautiful in salvia. Don't know if i am the only one thinking like this.
Great video. On the size comment, I feel there are also a lot of people who buy the Taigun for its current size - small, compact and solid with good ground clearance. This without compromising driving dynamics. The biggest perception issue about VW is their after sales. It's a hit or miss. Either you are lucky or you are not.
I'm so proud of you paaji I've been watching your videos since last 3-3.5 years. Can't wait to meet you in person next time you visit pune I would love to host you
Hi @Sunderdeep sir. After following your channel, I have purchased Skoda Kushaq on 17th Aug 2023, 1.5L Automatic Style variant and I am very happy with the performance of the car. I don't know about the recent updates of the car, but I would add another must have feature in this car and that is TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) which I think is a must have feature in this segment of car. Rest I really love your channel and because of you I was really determined to buy a Skoda Kushaq. Thanks Sir Vishesh Sinhal Location:- Siliguri State, West Bengal
Kushaq and Taigun MUST be as specious as Creta and Seltos inside. It MUST be proper 5 seater, and the ground clearance should be like either Nexon or Elevate. Otherwise why will somebody invest 15 lakh on these cars....?
7:00 VW/Skoda needs a bigger engine. 1.0 TSI is good only for hatchback and sub-4m Nexon segment cars. Atleast a 1.2 TSI Turbo or 1.5 N.A is a need for this 4.3meter segment. Good to see even hardcore fanboy like Sunderdeep is accepting the shortcomings of 2.0 cars. All these days he was only defending the shortcomings and calling them a gimmick. Taigun/Kushaq needs to be bigger looking. Fix the cheap plastics, head rest, rattling issues. Underbody and bonnet insulation. Proper price correction instead of given hidden discount at dealership of 1L-1.5L Add the must have features front parking, 360, ADAS, 6 Airbag, fix touch based AC controls which sucks. Fix more dealerships and ASC, just combine VW and Skoda SC's in every Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
I got a Skoda Slavia 1.5 MT last month purely because driving dynamics, engine and the fun to drive factor was a priority for me... The only required feature for me was auto folding orvm's and defogger.. But considering an average indian customer, based on the price , the car does miss important features... For someone upgrading from a smaller car, atleast 1. front parking sensors should come as standard, 2. 6 airbags as standard now that it comes in Sonet base models.... 3. A/C controls units should be manual instead of touch... 4. Fit n Finish are still a concern. 5. The service and dealership experience should be LARGELY CHECKED.. I had requested for some minor accessories like aluminium paddle and it's been 1.5 months they still don't have it...
First they should go and reduce repair costs ffs. For a bumper repair they are charging 20k to 30k. I MEAN WTH. They should investigate that before upgrades. Was thinking of buying a Taigun comfortline 1.0 manual, but ac issues, Ecu issues, bumper repair if accident happens etc are irking me. Nhi to kal dekhke aata mein. Vw will be beaten by their service centers man.
Most of Indian Customers are not known for good quality and richness of Cars ..The only way to sustain in Indian market for VW and Skoda is to build Cheap & Poor quality Cars with only mileage & Low prize factor as a top priority ..Then see the BOOM in sales !!
Unless vAg groups launch new polo in vw sub4 suv cum in skoda its very diff for them to survive.... then one imp thing better bring 1.2tsi 4cylinder instead of 1.0tsi... these ll do sales... bring 1.5tsi in low varients❤❤❤ nd jeep compass segments have to be launched🎉🎉
Hi I have purchased Tiagun petrol automatic on 20-12-2023 From day one irritating noise coming while applying breaks and while taking u turn No result after making a complaint to the dealer and VW . My suggestion is to please this issue before buying Regards Rajender kumar
I wish you to be ceo of vag. Meanwhile my wish which i constantly writing to vw service feedback, i need 1.2 turbo engine in pkace of 1.0. because i have shifted from polo to taigun 1.0 which gives me nightmare while quick overtake and punchy start. Plz plz plz if not possible than at least make one piece for me vag..... It is not too much, and if you replace 1.0 with 1.2 with same price, you can easily get 500 no more every month
It is not easy to make a car popular. But once you make it popular (to some extent it is now true for Kushaq, taigun, slavia and virtus), you hold on to advantage and not squander it like Duster (Renault) and Ecosport (Ford). VW/ Skoda are at the inflection point from where they can either further consolidate their market or just squander it. As a Kushaq owner, I hope and pray that former will be true.
Trust me they need not to upgrade anything, they just need to launch polo as a under 10L model, above 20 they should get kamiq which is way bigger and better than out of proportionate taigun and kushaq which they should make it below 20L, karoq should make a come back for 25L and above model along with T roc, they have so many cars abroad which can make a great case in India like fabia, scala I drive a karoq and super happy with what it offers. Can’t think of taigun and kushaq at current pricing.
The pain is evident in your eyes sirji. Hope we get the basic features like 6 air bags, 360 camera, ac with buttons & all power windows like old Skoda/VW models.
Bro, I was so in the market for vw taigun/virtus, but being middle class, my mind told me to go with Honda City gen5, as the after sales and maintenance (of taigun/virtus) would put holes in my pocket. That is the only reason, I guess most middle class people don't go for vw/skoda even today.
Taigun needs atleast minimum these updates 1. All wheels disk brakes 2. Adaptive Cruise control with some ADAS functions. 3. 360 camera 4. Active TPMS 5. Both working Dual barrel lights 6. More powerful AC in 1L variants. 7. Change the ugly looking current rear wiper
We will get features as per budjet...if you get one will miss other...mid pricing with important features is good for many people rather high features and price...creta seltos... features will never save you unless good build quality
I think VW knows everything well but don't want to give that premiumness because they want to charge a hefty price on that! This is the problem with these Western cars! They think 'we are European cars and if you want an European car you should pay accordingly'. But then Koreans and Japanese just give all that for a nominal more price!!
Bhout sahi 👍🏼 Skoda VW must think on the cosmetics also to compete in india with Korean and Japanes car maker more think can any tell me that can i out under body cover in 1.5DSG Skoda car 🧐🧐 i am also worried about this think??
I would simply say this I am not getting a taigun because the camera, screens and interior can be little better; price point because I am only in for the GT top model …. Let’s not forget the beeps above 120 are really disturbing. Even sound of seatbelts needs to go !!!
Vw said it invested huge amount in Indian car foray but it's been more than # 2 years they haven't launched any new cars so far. They are not interested in expanding their cars lineup. More over when I spoke to the agent they said they won't be launching polo ever in the future. It's very sad pathetic on their part. You just threw just three car models on our face and expecting the boom in sales. Ur have lot variants models over seas variants. You keep on launching new cars in Brazilian markets but not for India. It's very upsetting and frustrating on your part vw.
VW comparable to iPhone who changes minor things and keeps low features but useful. Their attitude is our product is differently engineered if you want you buy.
Bhai dono companies galat segment me galat gadian le kar bethe ha, sub compact 1 litre wali gaadi compact segment me and compact segment wali upper segment mein, highly needs a polo comeback or sub compact suv with 1 litre tsi, will cheaper as govt. Taxes, now both the cars are overpriced.....
I am sure this video is going to reach VW/Skoda management but i don’t feel they are going to make any changes in the product. These suggestions are not new and the product was being compared for 2 good years, if they had the intention they would have done it by now. Selling in large numbers is the only way to make margins in India. Don’t increase price increase features and let the profit margin spread over large sales volumes.
Bro if you speed up your videos and plan points better this would be a much better video. I really like and baba 100% agree to the points you bring but backstory and narrative got too much.
I bought taigun comfortline recently truely a great car..yes there are some cons like suspension is not so smooth. My rear shocker is already creating a noise so there is downgrade in quality not much but lil bit. Still better than the koreans, built quality feels so heavy in vw
Please VW/Skoda listen to this man! He is an ardent well-wisher of you. But very knowledgeable at the same time. It's emotional for him and many like him to see good products from your company falling behind others because of small things.

4. Reclining back seats
5. Manual A/c control
6. Sliding door blinds
7. 225- 50- R17 tyres

Manual AC controls should be right from the base variant and reclining back seat will be tough considering the dimensions

I agree to the point you mentioned about size…Taigun/Kushaq looks and feels closer to sub 4m segment rather than above 4m, dimensions should be fixed immediately, also other high selling points can include panoramic sunroof and a good audio system with 360 camera…customer can’t compromise on these basics…everything else is sales multiplier

Having said that, yea reasonable updates to some features would make their price point more attractive
Maruti is not successful because of features. They are successful because of the reliability, ease of service all over India.
Taigun, Kushaq look like they're competing in the Brezza segment but they're charging prices of Scorpio N. Of course they're gonna sell low numbers.
Yes. I do agree. Taigun toh aur bhi choti dikhti hein

360 camera is must have feature, I added this in my VW review comments after buying Virtus.
Make videos short and informative, don’t put sad songs feels like someone has lost life
Interesting feedback 😂
every F* ing is better than honda city's horn😂😂
I haven't met many who want adas. Most cars of my family and friends always switch it off. But hybrid is what all they want and paid for that.
Good point but that’s going to happen from VAG
Couldn't agree more with both points.
Being owner of taigun Gt I really wish for these updates...
360 camera
Front collision avoidance
Better audio system
Better horn
Better rear seat
One touch power windows
Better button and plastic quality inside.
Manual hvac controls.
Full size instrument cluster
I really hope that vw listens through your platform..
you can get the horn changed by visiting the service center. it will cost around 3500.

Paaji meri car da bhe review karo.. aaj kade Mohali. Taigun 1.5 GT+
My wishlist:
1. They should provide colour changeable ambient light and virtual cockpit. Infact virtual cockpit colours are changeable through coding so whats stopping vw to just enable it through software.
2. Hardware AC controls are available in T Cross (taigun) in foreign markets. So they can just lift the hardware from there at no extra cost.
3. They should raise the seat belt receiver unit. Its very hard to put on seat belt for heavy passengers.
4. They should try to develop an ecosystem for accessories. They should launch accessories store through their website where consumers can directly purchase the accessories. Indian love accessorising their cars. It will provide an additional marketplace for skoda/ vw too.
5. They should add a padding at the corner of rear seats just like they provide in Skoda Kamiq in europe. It would provide a little more confortable seating to rear passengers.
6. They should provide LED setup in fog lamps too. Yellow fogs although are better for sure but it just downgrades the front modern look of kushaq. They do provide white fogs in Kodiaq.
7. They can provide autonomous self parking in these cars. It would really differentiate them from the segment and add that wow factor too.
Lastly, I just hope the retrofitting culture like polo starts in kushaq/ taigun too so that current owners have option to add latest features as per their wish.
8. They should provide remote start too. It would be easier during cold start.
9. It should enable auto closing of sunroof when car is locked.
Sir please share some channel or email IDs so more customers can reach out to the concerned team.
Automatic in base model is much awaited like Elevate
Purchased taigun gt 1.5 tsi 4 month back only reason was that engine and safety.. i dont care about features in a car just loves driving the car
Tnks brov for the genuine practical requests as you are the voice that will be heard, however I would request you to add to you request for the “Very PRACTICAL FEATURES WHICH ARE CUT- ONE TOUCH WINDOWS , VW FLAGSHIP HORN”.
Proud to be connected to this channel since a long time. Most interesting and valuable information without any fancy B-Rolls, Music or drama. Simple to understand and as usual connected to us common man. ❤️
Thanks Talkashu
The only reason I am not wiiling to buy any new SKODA/VW is the Indianisation, It left all the german interior build charm it has in KAROQ which is my daily driver. I agree with each and every point as it is not coping up with the competition, Please SKODA VW listen to him and I will get one for sure.
Great video Paaji! Absolutely agree with all your points. Regarding 6 airbags, last year while purchasing car, we extended our budget for Topline model. Today a customer looking for sedan might consider Verna over VW twins as the former has 6 airbags from base variant and both the offerings are 5 star rated. (a general person might not have much knowledge about unstable bodyshell)
Great video! It's unlikely VW/Skoda would listen, though. I might be in a minority, but I like smaller cars because of ease of manoeuvrability and parking.
They do listen us specifically, be assured about that.
Thank you so much Paaji, beautiful and yet again an emotional video straight from the heart. You have covered all the points that these cars need in 2024. I would move electronic brake and usb port near the irvm to must haves in top end variant.
Keep up the good work! I think you and a few others are the people who are bringing about change in Indian mindset, about VAG cars!
Very true “kuch chije zaroori nehi India hai toh India jaise he ho”. India market is demanding and competition is growing if VW wants to be in the market they have to give more good feature. In t-roc 2021 they removed lot of good feature which are now in almost all Indian Cars. I feel sad that those features were removed by saying this is not used in India market and are not required on Indian roads. But I am still happy with my t-roc because of its practicality some features are missing but still I am happy.
they should have localised a car like Skoda karoq which looks muscular and a proper suv personally i think taigun looks like a jacked up hatchback. other factors like panaromic sunroof which people like should be given and indian people go with engine size ki bo kitne CC ka hai lay man does not get how the turbo performs against more displacement they should give the old 1.2 tsi or 1.5 mpi and also the epc error in beginning made people reluctant do go with the brand
they can give the ac controls in the new skoda superb those are nice
europe"s problems are world"s problems but India"s or South Asia"s are not world"s problems, quote by Dr jai Shankar. so Mr. sunder deep Singh ji why are you suggesting to vw CEO i.s Mr Ashish Gupta, his attitude in most of the interviews is like what Dr. jai Shankar said but sorry to say that what you suggested is absolutely truth for Indians.If they i.s vw & Skoda follow your suggestions they will be on top of the world but alas .......
Well said
Hi sir I'm first viewer of this vedio
Bosch horn. ADAS. All wheel disk brakes for 1.5 litre engines. 360 camera. 1 touch up and down windows with a little bit of a tint.
360 camera na bhi mile but Better Rear Camera with adaptive guidelines ki kaafi zarurat hai... Hyundai apni exter me bhi better camera deta hai with adaptive guidelines..... ye chhoti chhoti cheeze bohot impact daalti hai gaadi ki sales pe
Agree. Recently (10 days back), my friend moved from i20 to Virtus GT. His initial observation is this
One more change i would expect atleast on the virtus not on slavia it nags me alot. The rear stance of the car when u look it from the side view it doesn't feel very sedanish its way to much raised it almost feels like the front is dipping a lot and makes the rear area just below the quater pannel it feels to much of the chassis is exposed. It looks really ugly. And also due to this when u r driving up until the compact suv's and u see virtus on road from behind, her catalytic converter, exhaust tips, the oil tank and beam axle or cross member is visible . These things are also same in slavia but the stance doesn't seems that bad don't know why maybe alloys are far more beautiful in salvia. Don't know if i am the only one thinking like this.
Sunderji please brief
1) Skoda kushaq 360 and ADAS update expected?
2) Is 1.0 is enough for india? Or there will be regret in future over 1.5 TSI
Iam also a viewer of your channel...VW and Skoda interior plastic quality is very bad...plastic quality need to improve
Great video. On the size comment, I feel there are also a lot of people who buy the Taigun for its current size - small, compact and solid with good ground clearance. This without compromising driving dynamics. The biggest perception issue about VW is their after sales. It's a hit or miss. Either you are lucky or you are not.
Totally agree… Hope Skoda and VW are listening
360 degree camera is a must for bigger cars like Virtus and Slavia in our road conditions
I'm so proud of you paaji I've been watching your videos since last 3-3.5 years. Can't wait to meet you in person next time you visit pune I would love to host you
Thanks Aayush ji
Hi @Sunderdeep sir. After following your channel, I have purchased Skoda Kushaq on 17th Aug 2023, 1.5L Automatic Style variant and I am very happy with the performance of the car.
I don't know about the recent updates of the car, but I would add another must have feature in this car and that is TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) which I think is a must have feature in this segment of car.
Rest I really love your channel and because of you I was really determined to buy a Skoda Kushaq.
Thanks Sir

6 airbags in mid spec variants pls , ppl are paying around 15.5 lakhs and getting 2 airbags doesn't sync up in 2024
Tiguan offer 4 lakh discount .... but not upgrade like .... ventilated seat,wireless car play, ADAS leve 2 , Alloy wheel design
Kushaq and Taigun MUST be as specious as Creta and Seltos inside. It MUST be proper 5 seater, and the ground clearance should be like either Nexon or Elevate. Otherwise why will somebody invest 15 lakh on these cars....?
7:00 VW/Skoda needs a bigger engine. 1.0 TSI is good only for hatchback and sub-4m Nexon segment cars. Atleast a 1.2 TSI Turbo or 1.5 N.A is a need for this 4.3meter segment.
Good to see even hardcore fanboy like Sunderdeep is accepting the shortcomings of 2.0 cars. All these days he was only defending the shortcomings and calling them a gimmick.
Taigun/Kushaq needs to be bigger looking.
Fix the cheap plastics, head rest, rattling issues.
Underbody and bonnet insulation.
Proper price correction instead of given hidden discount at dealership of 1L-1.5L
Add the must have features front parking, 360, ADAS, 6 Airbag, fix touch based AC controls which sucks.
Fix more dealerships and ASC, just combine VW and Skoda SC's in every Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
I got a Skoda Slavia 1.5 MT last month purely because driving dynamics, engine and the fun to drive factor was a priority for me...
The only required feature for me was auto folding orvm's and defogger..
But considering an average indian customer, based on the price , the car does miss important features...
For someone upgrading from a smaller car, atleast
1. front parking sensors should come as standard,
2. 6 airbags as standard now that it comes in Sonet base models....
3. A/C controls units should be manual instead of touch...
4. Fit n Finish are still a concern.
5. The service and dealership experience should be LARGELY CHECKED.. I had requested for some minor accessories like aluminium paddle and it's been 1.5 months they still don't have it...
Why you are worried more than company.prices should be reduced,still they are charging more than other companies.
First they should go and reduce repair costs ffs. For a bumper repair they are charging 20k to 30k. I MEAN WTH.
They should investigate that before upgrades.
Was thinking of buying a Taigun comfortline 1.0 manual, but ac issues, Ecu issues, bumper repair if accident happens etc are irking me. Nhi to kal dekhke aata mein.
Vw will be beaten by their service centers man.
Add karna to door ...They even removed auto up and down feature for driver window.
Endurance test record broken by Virtus 24hrs 194kmphr average speed.
I would 100% buy a Kushaq should Skoda provide these features even if I have to pay 1.5-2 lacs more.

Most of Indian Customers are not known for good quality and richness of Cars ..The only way to sustain in Indian market for VW and Skoda is to build Cheap & Poor quality Cars with only mileage & Low prize factor as a top priority ..Then see the BOOM in sales !!
Unless vAg groups launch new polo in vw sub4 suv cum in skoda its very diff for them to survive.... then one imp thing better bring 1.2tsi 4cylinder instead of 1.0tsi... these ll do sales... bring 1.5tsi in low varients❤❤❤ nd jeep compass segments have to be launched🎉🎉
Hi
I have purchased Tiagun petrol automatic on 20-12-2023
From day one irritating noise coming while applying breaks and while taking u turn
No result after making a complaint to the dealer and VW .
My suggestion is to please this issue before buying
Regards
Rajender kumar
I wish you to be ceo of vag.
Meanwhile my wish which i constantly writing to vw service feedback, i need 1.2 turbo engine in pkace of 1.0. because i have shifted from polo to taigun 1.0 which gives me nightmare while quick overtake and punchy start. Plz plz plz if not possible than at least make one piece for me vag.....
It is not too much, and if you replace 1.0 with 1.2 with same price, you can easily get 500 no more every month
It is not easy to make a car popular. But once you make it popular (to some extent it is now true for Kushaq, taigun, slavia and virtus), you hold on to advantage and not squander it like Duster (Renault) and Ecosport (Ford). VW/ Skoda are at the inflection point from where they can either further consolidate their market or just squander it. As a Kushaq owner, I hope and pray that former will be true.
Trust me they need not to upgrade anything, they just need to launch polo as a under 10L model, above 20 they should get kamiq which is way bigger and better than out of proportionate taigun and kushaq which they should make it below 20L, karoq should make a come back for 25L and above model along with T roc, they have so many cars abroad which can make a great case in India like fabia, scala
I drive a karoq and super happy with what it offers. Can’t think of taigun and kushaq at current pricing.
The pain is evident in your eyes sirji. Hope we get the basic features like 6 air bags, 360 camera, ac with buttons & all power windows like old Skoda/VW models.
Bro, I was so in the market for vw taigun/virtus, but being middle class, my mind told me to go with Honda City gen5, as the after sales and maintenance (of taigun/virtus) would put holes in my pocket. That is the only reason, I guess most middle class people don't go for vw/skoda even today.
I agree with Seats and Manual AC. CRETA is Duke of cars so don’t worry
Taigun needs atleast minimum these updates
1. All wheels disk brakes
2. Adaptive Cruise control with some ADAS functions.
3. 360 camera
4. Active TPMS
5. Both working Dual barrel lights
6. More powerful AC in 1L variants.
7. Change the ugly looking current rear wiper
We will get features as per budjet...if you get one will miss other...mid pricing with important features is good for many people rather high features and price...creta seltos... features will never save you unless good build quality
I think VW knows everything well but don't want to give that premiumness because they want to charge a hefty price on that! This is the problem with these Western cars! They think 'we are European cars and if you want an European car you should pay accordingly'. But then Koreans and Japanese just give all that for a nominal more price!!
Bhout sahi 👍🏼 Skoda VW must think on the cosmetics also to compete in india with Korean and Japanes car maker
more think can any tell me that can i out under body cover in 1.5DSG Skoda car 🧐🧐 i am also worried about this think??
Your wish is my wish too, hope they make the changes...
WELL SAID SIR JI. IF ALL THESE POINTS MENTIONED PROVIDED BY VW / SKODA COMPANY, I WILL BUY FOR 1.5-2 LAKH EXTRA THAN COMPETITION.
I would simply say this I am not getting a taigun because the camera, screens and interior can be little better; price point because I am only in for the GT top model …. Let’s not forget the beeps above 120 are really disturbing. Even sound of seatbelts needs to go !!!
It definitely needs a good road presence
Vw said it invested huge amount in Indian car foray but it's been more than # 2 years they haven't launched any new cars so far. They are not interested in expanding their cars lineup. More over when I spoke to the agent they said they won't be launching polo ever in the future. It's very sad pathetic on their part. You just threw just three car models on our face and expecting the boom in sales. Ur have lot variants models over seas variants. You keep on launching new cars in Brazilian markets but not for India. It's very upsetting and frustrating on your part vw.
VW comparable to iPhone who changes minor things and keeps low features but useful. Their attitude is our product is differently engineered if you want you buy.
Electric seat control recently given in kushaq ,but yes,still electric parking,mannual control still demanding
Seats thing is a great addition imho! I used in Virtus and loved it.
❤@@SunderdeepSingh
They needed to bring Karoq but we got MQB A0 IN instead. Just see the quality difference. This is not the VW we were used to.
Plot twist: This Video Is Being Played In A Meeting In Volkswagen India Office 😂
Panaromic Sunroof : Just by adding this particular features you will have a new breed of indian customers.
But the driving comfort is next level. Enjoy driving, go for taigun or kushaq. Seltos and creta is nothing, but with lot of features
Bhai dono companies galat segment me galat gadian le kar bethe ha, sub compact 1 litre wali gaadi compact segment me and compact segment wali upper segment mein, highly needs a polo comeback or sub compact suv with 1 litre tsi, will cheaper as govt. Taxes, now both the cars are overpriced.....
You’re just another VW fanboy RUclipsr and you talk as if you’re the expert. Are you on their R&D team. 😂😂
I am sure this video is going to reach VW/Skoda management but i don’t feel they are going to make any changes in the product. These suggestions are not new and the product was being compared for 2 good years, if they had the intention they would have done it by now. Selling in large numbers is the only way to make margins in India. Don’t increase price increase features and let the profit margin spread over large sales volumes.
Bro if you speed up your videos and plan points better this would be a much better video. I really like and baba 100% agree to the points you bring but backstory and narrative got too much.
Really hope they take a note off this video. Beautifully put
I dropped my plan to buy Virtus just because of these reasons. I have my own list that this video doesn't have though. I already have a Vento.
Hi sir I'm first viewer of this vedio
Volkswagen and skoda has performance but missing out features is working against them
That's nitpicking , they have all features , no need for gimmick . They need increase features in base models and also work on interiors
I bought taigun comfortline recently truely a great car..yes there are some cons like suspension is not so smooth. My rear shocker is already creating a noise so there is downgrade in quality not much but lil bit. Still better than the koreans, built quality feels so heavy in vw
Creta 😂😂😂 "unpadh banda driver hoga use bhi pta hoga kya dabana hai kya hoga" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I literally laughed 😂. No offence to Creta audience.
Phaji nailed it......🎉
