Volkswagen Taigun, Virtus Sound Edition launch tomorrow: What to expect – Times of India

After recently having launched the GT Edge Trail Edition for the Taigun, Volkswagen is already readying yet another special edition version for the mid-size SUV along with its sedan sibling Virtus. Known as the ‘Sound Edition‘, the new variant is all set to be launched in India tomorrow i.e. November 21, 2023, and was teased ahead of the debut.
Going by the name, the Taigun Sound Edition and Virtus Sound Editionare expected to cater specifically to audiophiles, and offer an enhanced audio system over the standard version of the cars.It should be noted that the range-topping GT Edge variant of the Taigun offers six speakers with subwoofer and an amplifier, while the Virtus GT Edge gets eight speakers along with a subwoofer and an amplifier.

While no details have been revealed so far, we also expect a few visual changes like special Sound Edition badging on the inside and outside, as well as new seat upholstery. No mechanical changes will be made to either of the two cars. Volkswagen offers the Taigun and Virtus with two engine options – a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine making 113 hp of max power and 178 Nm of peak torque, along with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol motor generating 148 hp and 250 Nm.
A 6-speed manual transmission is offered as standard across both engine options, while the smaller TSI motor gets an optional 6-speed torque converter auto and the larger engine is available with an optional 7-speed DSG.
