German carmaker Volkswagen is preparing to launch updated versions of its popular cars, the Taigun and Virtus in India. The company has confirmed that facelift models of both cars will be introduces soon. These new version will come with several design and feature updates to attract buyers. Changes are expected in the exterior styling, interior look and comfort features. However, customers waiting for advanced driver assistance systems ADAS will need to wait longer, as this feature will not be available in the upcoming update. Overall, the facelifted Taigan and Virtus aim to offer a fresher look and improved experience for Indian Customers.
The changes coming to the Volkswagen Taigu will be similar to those seen in the recently updates Skoda Kushaq. The SUV will receive mild updates to refresh its overall appeal.
Exterior Design
The Taigun’s exterior will get small but noticeable changes to make it look more modern and fresh. Updates may include revised styling elements that enhance its road presence without changing the core design.
Engine and Gearbox
The Taigun will continue to offer the same 1.0 Litre and 1.5 litre turbo petrol engines. However, Volkwagen is considering introducing a new 8-speed automatic gearbox, which could improve driving comfort and performance.
Features and Safety
The updates Taigun is expected to get features similar to the Skoda Kushaq. However, advanced safety features like ADAS or a 360-degree camera and unlikely to be offered in this update.
The new Volkswagen Virtus Sedan is expected to launch by the end of this year with several updates.
Infotainment
The Facelifted Virtus may come with a bigger touchscreen infotainment system, offering improved the connectivity and a more modern interface for a better in-car experience.
Mechanical Updates
Like the Taigun, the Virtus could get a 8-speed automatic gearbox, which would make driving smoother and more comfortable.
Overall, the updates aim to give the Virtus a fresh look and enhanced usability, keeping it competitive in the sedan segment while improving both technology and driving experience for the customers.
Many buyers are eagerly waiting for the ADAS in Volkswagen’s popular cars, but the company has a different plan. Volkswagen is gradually introducing the ADAS technology, starting with its premium models. Cars like the Taigun R-line and Gold GTO will receive ADAS first, ensuring high-end safety features reach customers before being rolled out in more affordable models. For the Taigun and Virtus, ADAS is unlikely in the upcoming facelifted versions. Experts suggests that these features will likely be introduced only in the next-generation models of Taigun and Virtus, which are expected after 2027, giving Indian Customers advanced safety options in the future.
