- Connected front light bar
- New 8AT system
The Volkswagen Taigun facelift is set for a 9 April, 2026 unveil. In a recent teaser, the carmaker subtly showcased its changed elements, with one of them being a connected light bar and an illuminated logo at the front, and this is in line with what we exclusively rendered and expected.
Up front, the light bar is connected by a continuous LED strip, unlike the Skoda Kushaq's segmented unit. The rear connected tail-light setup continues, but it is a more imposing and aggressive C shape at both ends. Feature-wise, we expect the new Taigun to get a rear-seat massage function, better UI for the infotainment, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof.
Mechanically, the Taigun facelift will remain unchanged, continuing with the same 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol units, with the former rated to churn out 114bhp/178Nm via a new eight-speed automatic (replacing the six-speed automatic) or a six-speed manual gearbox , and the latter churning out 148bhp/250Nm via a 7DSG system. This is in line with what the Skoda Kushaq facelift gets.
