Nice pricing

Looks are decent in competition to curvv pricing is better And Citroen is one of the best brand famous for its comfort let's hope for the best in how it performs in this Indian market.

Taigun is better than my seltos.

At first, I thought this car was crap after watching all the reviews, I have a Kia Seltos GT line, So I thought let me just go and see the car in the showroom and what a surprise. Honestly I liked every aspect of this car, even better than my Kia Seltos Including looks, interior quality, comfort and driving! I Instantly bought VW Taigun GT plus and here It is sitting in my garage like a beast! My little advice : Buy Taigun GT plus over Seltos GT as it is better.
