Hi,
Paging Thane & Navi Mumbai VW2.0 car owners - I have observed that Android auto always disconnect when I pass through this stretch. Has anyone else experienced the same? There was a similar problem reported earlier in this thread but could not find it now.

Thanks..!! Yes, mine is factory fitted with start-stop feature. It's supposed to increase FE by 6% as claimed by VW. Also, one can get higher FE by using higher octane fuel.

It seems another set of crash tests are coming pertaining to the Indian cars via GNCAP today around 1.30 pm have a gut feeling VW Taigun & Virtus will be on the list.

If even one of the four siblings is tested, we can make a somewhat guess of the other three based on the same platform. I wish it is 4 or more if indeed they are in the list. If either Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder too is included and comes out with 4 or more stars, Hyundai and Kia would certainly feel the pressure !
The other car, I wish that were tested :
1) Jeep Compass.
2) Tata Safari.
3) Tata Harrier.
4) Scorpio N.
5) New Brezza.
6) Citroen C3 (this might give them a boost and confidence).

I was suggested to go for the 3M Performance Pro wiper blades by a friend. A local accessory store said rear wiper blades are not available. As they had frameless front wiper blades of some other local brand (I forgot the name) I did not buy those.

Has anyone here used the 3M blades?

As expected 5 stars for Taigun and Kushaq

Great results.

Particularly Side MDB and Side Pole.
The structure held very well for both the side crashes.

I am pretty sure it can even meet the slightly higher speed Euro NCAP side pole test as well.

Add to it, almost entirely engineered in India

I have noticed that wireless android auto on my Taigun is very sensitive to network fluctuations. If the network data on my phone drops, the wireless android auto also disconnects.

The path that you have mentioned may have a network issue there.

Also, Taigun and Kushaq were evaluated on updated GNCAP norms and scored 5 star for both adult and chid protection. So they are possibly India's safest cars even better than XUV700 in terms of individual scoring.

MQB-A0-IN wow . This was not expected . Everyone was waiting for just a 4 ��. Commendable effort from VW and Skoda.

Further GnCAP highlighted that even the base models are very well equipped on safety. Seems degrade of plastic quality is compensated by huge upgrade on safety aspects right from the base model.

Let it be loud and clear - this is validation for the localised MBQ-A0-IN platform.

Have seen some criticism of the thickness (the lack of it) and feel of the doors on the Taigun & Kushaq, vis-a-vis the Vento & Rapid, but this should allay fears about compromise on safety. This also drives the point that a heavy, solid build need not necessarily always translate to better safety, and the converse too.

Absolutely delighted to hear this. Congratulations to VW and Skoda India on this achievement!

Big Congratulations to the VW Group.

I hope dealers highlight this strongly and should influence potential buyers who are on the edge.

For me, it is fine to have few less features over 5* safety rating.

Great news..!! So, Taigun/Kushaq are India's safest car now by scoring 5 star in both adult and child safety rating overtaking XUV700 and Punch who scored 4 star in child safety.

Kudos to VW group for achieving 5 star with 95% localization.

Feeling very proud as an owner.
