Taigun vs Kushaq vs Creta: Rough Roads, Handling & More!

Has the Hyundai Creta finally met its match? We pitch it against its European rivals, the Volkswagen Taigun and the Skoda Kushaq in this ride, performance and cornering battle. Will the Korean all-rounder get beat? And will we crown a new fastest car in our handling test?
As always we have also compared the same three rivals on practicality, space and ride quality in a more buyer specific format on the CarDekho channel.
We have done a number of videos like this, the latest one with some very interesting cars (link below). And we'd like to know if you like them and would like to see more. So let us know your thoughts on this format in the comments section.

[@SuperAkashrana]

I believe with 17" wheels on Taigun instead of 16" would have done better around that corner. And I guess another big revelation is by just adding discs to rear won't make a vehicle brake better and its more to do with calibration instead.

[@NalinKhurb]

While true, it would make the ride even stiffer

[@sid1671]

While what you said is true, but disc brakes works better in inclination and down hill, and during rainy season (drum brakes are more prone to failure or work less efficiently in these conditions) So whatever may be the reason VW group should have provided disc brakes at this price point, I personally would not have minded if they had asked 2L more and given disc brakes, under body metal protection, engine noise insulation and a more better build quality (it's still built good but just not like typical VW or skoda cars and also will wait for NCAP rating for the verdict. I will say it will score 4 and not 5)

Watch Closely at 2:58 Both Taigun and Kushaq has its 4th tire in Air, while although Creta skids a bit but, still stuck to the ground.

[@LikeMinds]

that doesn't make the car escape from the accidental hit.....cars with such bad bodyroll are usually the ones to skid & hit...which is why they r called the tin cars

[@lubnaismylove]

Taigun 1.5GT is a master. And it will invite you PUSH IT maximum. And still it will not roll. Not sure of these 2 Zigwheels guys. They are of course paid and biased trying to keep the review neutral.

No other option also available as creta has long waiting period so one have to go for either taigun or kushaq only

[@dineshpatel9034]

Only drawback in Kushaq is lack of diesel powertrain, had made wonders if it had been offered along with petrol.

[@ArunabhMitra]

It's not a drawback though....soon due to more stringent emission norms diesel will fade off...and vw has already stopped manufacturing diesel engines....so it is an intelligent move by them but hard on our pockets...but that's the future 💯

[@autoarena8020]

Another drawback is the dimensions, 100mm lesser than creta and seltos. That's a big no for me.

[@rajoosolanky780]

Would appreciate a Comparison of German Twins with the most underrated Nissan Kicks. As Kicks offers Great Riding Comfort & Handling, it betters than the German twins for sure. Only major Cons of Kicks is it offers heavy & long traveling clutch pedal plus 1.3 engine lacks that low end torque for city stop/start traffic & efficiency when compared to German TSI Engines linear power delivery.

[@rajoosolanky780]

Kushaq & Taigun are the newest members of the 4.3 mts Creata segment. Agreed it performed below the German twins. Hyundai's are smart & fast in upgradation, corrections & updates. Chances are face-lift Creata will be offered after rectifying all possible defects. Never ever underestimate the Korean Twins Creata & Seltos. . Hopefully they might load the face-lift Creata with more safety & feel good features like ESP, TCS, Auto Collision braking, Improve suspensions, ride & handing from the base Variant to be in competition with German Twins. Koren Twins have always bounced back with futuristic offerings to attact buyers & improve Sales nos. for sure.

[@kevinkrishnan8810]

Yes sales numbers are high for Korean twins .. VW or skoda cannot capture mass market .. but it doesn't means that they are bad cars. People who want more practicality and features can go for Korean twins and those who wants dynamics and safty can go for Germans

It depends on where do you primarily drive your car, if it's in the city most of the time then 1.0 tsi would do just fine...if you hit the highways often then it makes sense to go for the 1.5 tsi

[@nishantsaini8421]

Taigun/Kushaq- Yesterday I took a test drive of 1.0 manual Taigun Besides good handling there some some major cons like cabin space is too small( may be claustrophobic for some), my head is just 2 cm from roof Cabin feels too much noisy when we accelerate the car due to poor insulation, Engine sound is also harsh. Gears are hard and not smooth like Suzuki and Hyundai. Neither it gives complete feel of hatchback nor SUV, u r stuck in between I didn't like the car in end.

I dont understand why there is a comparison even.. its simple if you want features and a better interior but cheap build quality buy a hyundai or a kia or if you want sheer driving dynamics and if you are okay with an inferior looking interior but a solid build quality and features you can live with on a daily basis buy a Skoda Kushaq or a VW taigun. Period..

Well said bro. It which is more practical for longer term hassle free ownership?

European design ages gracefully as compared to the korean brands, they start looking outdated in a very short span of time whereas european design is ageless. Plus the cost of ownership is almost the same be it koreans or europeans so if you were to take my suggestion buy skoda or volkswagen you will be happy..

Good review but when I test drove both Khusaq ans Tiagun DSG back to back found Khusaq more laggier then Tiagun and it’s middle back seat has hard back support. Tiagun was more preppy to drive. Also in both the break pedal was higher than accelerator pedal is the normal. My leg almost got stuck. Anyone has experienced the pedal issue?

[@Kumar-bg6nr]

Taigun is superior. They're basically the same but VW has the tendency to make their vehicles a tad better than their subsidiary brands. I personally like the looks of Taigun better as it looks like a baby Tiguan.

[@lubnaismylove]

TAIGUN is far far way way better than not only Kushaq, but Creta, Seltos, Astor. None beats a Taigun if you want a car for sheer drive pleasure. Pedals are at same position, it is just because you move your feet to left that it feels as if the pedal is positioned higher. Aur ye toh tum halka left leke feel kar rahe hoge. Brake pedal pe proper middle me foot rakhoge toh you will feel kahan hai ye... conditioning required here
