Volkswagen has launched the Taigun GT Line and GT Plus Sport starting at ex-showroom prices of Rs. 14.08 lakh and Rs. 18.53 lakh respectively. These are the black sports- themed special editions of the SUV unveiled last month.
VW Taigun Sport cosmetic changes and features
These versions fall within the structure of the newly created "Sports" line. The GT Plus features a gray carbon steel roof and unique red "GT" branding on the front grille, fenders and tailgate. On the other hand, the aforementioned equipment is black on the GT Line model. Both models ride on black 17-inch "Casino" wheels, but the GT Plus features red callipers up front. Inside, black leather upholstery stands out, but with some distinction. For example, the GT Plus model features red stitching, while the GT Line model features gray stitching. In addition, the GT Plus receives red GT logos, aluminum pedals and an introductory offer of a free four-year Service Value Package (SVP).
