July 2023 : The made in India Volkswagen Taigun has scored an encouraging 5-star result in the first crash tests results for 2023 of the New Car Assessment Programme for Latin America and the Caribbean, Latin NCAP. The Volkswagen Taigun, produced in India, achieved 5 stars. The Taigun offers as standard 6 airbags and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) achieved 92.47 percent in Adult Occupant, 91.84 percent in Child Occupant, 55.14 percent in Pedestrian Protection and Vulnerable Road Users and 83.28 percent in Safety Assist. The car was tested in frontal impact, side impact, side pole impact, whiplash, pedestrian protection, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) city and interurban, Speed Assist and ESC. At least 60 percent of sales volume of the Taigun in the region are equipped with AEB. The car also offers AEB for Vulnerable Road Users that could increase pedestrian protection but has not been assessed for not meeting availability preconditions. All the standard and tested equipment showed good performance allowing the Taigun to achieve five stars.
Commenting on the results, Piyush Arora, Managing Director and CEO of Škoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited said, “We’re tremendously proud of the safety track record of our vehicles built on the MQB A0-IN platform. The 5-star rating earned by the Volkswagen Taigun comes close on the heels of a similar 5-star Latin NCAP rating for the Volkswagen Virtus. In fact, all our India 2.0 models - Volkswagen Taigun, Volkswagen Virtus, Škoda Kushaq and Škoda Slavia have also received the prestigious Global NCAP 5-star ratings for both adult and child occupant protection, making them the safest made-in-India cars. This is a testament to the VW Group’s commitment to offer world-class safety to our customers. Made for and in India but exported across the world, the VW Taigun is an excellent example of what the campaign to #MakeInIndia is capable of. We continue to be committed to bringing Indian buyers the highest quality products that are on par with what’s available to global markets.”
