Whenever a new SUV is in any town in any part of the world, some suggest that it will be heading to India. This is right to some extent and one such SUV is the Volkswagen Taigun (popularly known as Volkswagen Tiguan) which was unveiled recently in Brazil. This mini SUV is all set to rock the market and give the Ford Ecosport some tough time. Renault Duster that has recently become the hot favorite as the low cost off roader will also be facing some heat by Taigun. This car is an upcoming SUV in India and is believed to be placed much below the recently added Volkswagen Touareg.
