Manufactured in India and destined for the Indian market, the Taigun is based on the Volkswagen T-Cross. The “Taigun” nameplate can be traced from 2012 when Volkswagen unveiled an unrelated smaller crossover SUV concept car with the same name. Volkswagen stated the vehicle is built on the Volkswagen Group MQB A0 IN platform dedicated for the Indian market. The platform is also shared with the Škoda Kushaq which debuted in March 2021. The production version of the Taigun was revealed on 31 March 2021. It is made exclusively for the Indian market, under the VW Group’s India 2.0 plan.
