Volkswagen is set to broaden its Taigun mid-size SUV model lineup with the introduction of a special edition tomorrow, scheduled for release on November 21, 2023. Named the Volkswagen Taigun Sound Edition, this variant is poised to bring a touch of distinction to the regular model, boasting anticipated cosmetic enhancements.
Although details remain limited at this juncture, expectations include a new graphic on the C-pillar, blacked-out ORVMs, a contrasting black roof, and exclusive ‘Sound Edition’ badges. This special edition is likely to be available in all four existing color options – Wild Cherry Red, Lava Blue, Rising Blue, and Carbon Steel Grey.
While the interior layout and features are expected to align with the regular model, the Volkswagen Taigun Sound Edition will stand out with the inclusion of a subwoofer featuring an amplifier and ventilated, powered front seats. Read: Volkswagen Tayron 7-Seater SUV Launch Confirmed
