The export version of the VW Taigun LHD has been spotted testing. The crossover SUV will wear the T-Cross nameplate. The India-spec Taigun is an Indianized version of the T-Cross sold in Europe. For the emerging markets, it might still wear the same nameplate. However, the manufacturing will take place in India based on the MQB A0 IN platform specifically developed for the emerging markets. The LHD (Left Hand Drive) is prevalent in a lot of countries to which this variant is catered. These images show that the LHD version of the Taigun (T-Cross) has been spotted testing on the roads.
