The Kia Seltos was the first of the turbo-petrol mid-size SUVs while the Volkswagen Taigun is among the newest of the kind. Which one blows harder? We’ve got a drag strip to find out.

Try to do the same with both cars after 1lakh kms. You will find difference in korean and German engineering. Kia usually will be out of breath. And moreover fuel efficency will also drop considerably. I am talking about petrol engine, not the desiel one. Kia is a budget vehicle (intentionally not calling it car) sold as a premium product in india. German cars too over the time will be a white elephant but yet the performance will not be compromised if maintained properly. Well kia too would do decent job and survive for 5yrs or more if you be gentle with thr car and don't rev high all the time.
Try it with Taigun 1.ltr auto trim … it will be fun
Luckily, the Taigun's fuel pump held up quite nicely in the dragrace 😆
Pls do dry race of Astor. There is not even one as of now.
0-100 is still better on seltos
I will drive 200 to 300kms/month avg. and 95% no long drive more then 100kms for 3 members, Now I'm driving maruthi 800 I choose polo highline plus manual my dream car and s cross zeta manual why one suitable for me?
VW is a BEAST ❤️❤️
Would love to see where duster 1.3 turbo stands in this race being the most powerful engine in segment.
Always seltos dct🔥🔥🔥
Do Seltos dct vs creta dct
Waiting for Slavia
Taigun and Kushaq both belong to mid size suv segment but look like hatchbacks
How is a VW lighter than Kia????
Why no brake boost ?
Meh seltos will be still badass vw is no fun
It’s German baby what else do you need
Kia is garbage. With only high tensile body. vW built quality, materials, confort, ride quality , Quality is absolutely unmatched. rip Kia. Will not even buy Kia Free if Cost.. German Engineering anytime 😍😍
This comparison is an insult to taigun
Comparing Kia to Volkswagen is like comparing my 5th Std drawing book to MF Hussain’s paintings.
So there is no difference between gemrna engine and korean
I came her to see Taigun win.
Kia Sonet Turbo DCT vs Kia Seltos Base
Volkswagen Virut Gt vs MG Hector bro please
VW tiguan has less weight and bigger engine than kia seltos thats why it won
Do accident both together at the speed of 60 see who is winner
VW performance is bit suppressed at the low rev range. It will be interesting to see the results on a longer track. I'm sure the taigun GT would win convincingly.
I have to say after analyzing the features that 1.0 gdi engine of kia has 998 cc and same taigun has 1.0 engine with 999 cc but price difference is there…kia as onlyv7 5 lacs x showroom than 12 lacs taigun ..why waste money for few second win
If it was the more sparsely equipped 1.5 TSI Evo manual then it'd have any seltos in the dust because of course you can launch the manual harder.
German VW got it's overconfidence destroyed by Korean Kia… Kia is better looking more practical and not that far behind taigun which is trying to sell car for it's performance
1.4L seltos i have 1.5L so definitely seltos will win
