A. The YouTuber shares that he tried to get a quote for the resale value of the Taigun in the market. However, even after 3-4 days, there was no buyer for the used Skoda Kushaq.

Q. Which is better on the hills, VW Taigun or Hyundai Venue?
A. This is also a common question that people have. On the hills, the turbo engine of the Kushaq/Taigun is capable of pulling the car without having to change the gears a lot. If you have the manual variant, then there won’t be any issue. However, the automatic trims could restrict the performance a bit below 2,000 RPM (turbo lag).
