Volkswagen Taigun: Revamped line structure
Under the revamped line structure, the Taigun will be available in three trims: ‘GT Edge’, ‘Chrome’, and ‘Sport’. Notably, the GT Edge variants will feature the Edge Collection with exclusive exterior colour options, while the Chrome line will provide a choice between two engine options – a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine paired with either a 7-speed DSG or 6-speed manual transmission, and secondly, the efficient 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine available with a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission.
At last, the top-of-the-line Sport trim will get a unique blacked-out treatment and will be offered in both the GT Plus Sport and the GT Line variants. The GT Plus Sport will get the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine while the GT Line will get the smaller 1.0-litre unit.
