Volkswagen Experiences is a customer community initiative where customers and fans of the brand can purchase self-drive experiences to some of the most desirable locations. The first edition kicks off in Ladakh, where we join them for an epic journey through the magnificent yet brutal terrain, travelling from Leh to Nubra to the Siachen Base Camp in the first leg. In the second leg, we journeyed from Leh to the Shinkhu La pass, crossing four additional passes in a single day.
What began as a picturesque journey transformed into a race against time and weather towards the end. Did we eventually make it to the Shinkhu La pass? Watch this special feature and follow our journey through these captivating destinations.

Done Kaza chandrataal manali road on Taigun 1.0MT . It performed exceptionally well. Very underated feature which is differential lock helped a lot in difficult situations. Switching off traction control at very difficult situations also helps. Without issue we crossed many water crossings. Even a force traveler was stuck in front of us but we done the circuit without an issue ❤ Those who know kaza chandrataal manali is much difficult than the road shown in video.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Yes the chandratal route is even more challenging

@SuyashKaul 16 күн бұрын

I've also done chadratal via Manali Batal stretch with my Seltos GT line and it also did well. Nothing touched, the underbody guard also helped as once a stone jumped from the tyre towards it, my friend is skeptical as his Kushaq doesn't have underbody protection. I will show him your comment to boost his confidence. Also, I didn't have to switch off tc or any differential lock is required for my journey. It was smooth sailing overall.

@rajandeepsinghbhullar4894 16 күн бұрын

@SuyashKaul Good to know your experience. Differential lock in Taigun engage automatically. I felt it's use atleast twice when there was huge inclined and one wheel was in air for a while. It is Good to have differential lock in that kind of terrain it reduces chances of getting stuck to minimal. I am certain that in all front wheel drive cars of this segment, Taigun is most capable of offloading due to differential locks. About traction control, I felt that at very steep inclines when tyre tend to slip ECU reduces power and drops rpm to avoid slips I had to break at very inclined due to a bad driver then to start from that inclined car was not ready then I switched of traction control and it inclined without an issue.

@SuyashKaul 16 күн бұрын

@@rajandeepsinghbhullar4894 yeah, to start on an incline TC needs to be off but I managed everything by maintaining momentum pretty easily. On the topic of capability, no one can compare until and unless one experiences them back to back at this kind of terrain. Most reviewers say Elevate is the most capable and you can see Taigun stuck in this video, for a brief period of time so can't say with certainty which is best. Nonetheless all these are capable mainly if the driver knows what he's doing. I've covered this with my Ninja 650 as well which has 145mm of gc on paper so it's not a very big deal to me now. GV/Hyryder AWD should be best overall for this and beyond, if one is looking mainly for adventure

@@ShubhamSinghwhatsup As per my exp AC performance is satisfactory in city and good in highways. However on the zanskar trip, we rarely used AC after Manali till Srinagar as the weather was very pleasant. Using AC in uphill puts load so you must keep the RPM on the higher side.

My polo car service experience in Hyderabad is worst.Too much labour charges on each and every parts . For example Just for vehicle inspection they charge 1500 rupees. Just for general service they charge 20 k .And most of the parts won’t be available.

@whyzi6143 14 күн бұрын

@@kcmahaboobbasha7178 the problem is with the dealers here and the lack of demand(basically the volume of vw cars on the road). Just consider the amount of cars coming in a maruti service centre as compared to the vw one. Now with the wages of labour being fixed, the operation cost becomes higher for vw. Vw really needs cheaper cars to run in India so that more people can buy such cars. Else they will never be able to bring such costs down.

After all this, VW is still the car for the people who enjoy driving, understand handling, build paint etc. Unless you get to a normal customer who knows nothing about driving, looks for Size/Road Presence, Features etc. -- you (VW) will continue to be a niche player. Sadly by the trajectory VW is going it is not enough to sustain in the market, and with the news of Skoda selling stake, sales will plummet even more drastically.
