Volkswagen India has come out with the new Taigun GT Edge Trail Edition, which will be available in limited numbers. Priced at Rs 16.30 lakh (ex-showroom), the limited-edition Taigun is based on the GT trim.

Volkswagen Taigun Prices Hiked 

Earlier this month, Volkswagen revised the price of the Taigun SUV in India. While the exact reason behind this price revision is not known, rising input costs, perhaps, is the most likely reason. The Taigun is offered in Comfortline, Highline, Topline, GT, GT Plus, GT Edge, and GT Plus Edge trim options. The Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus 1.5 TSI DSG, the petrol variant in the Taigun lineup, is now more expensive by Rs 25,000 and is offered at Rs 19.06 lakh, whereas the GT 1.5 TSI with DSG transmission costs Rs 16.99 lakh, which is an increase of Rs 19,900. All prices are ex-showroom. Additionally, the Indian arm of the German manufacturer also raised the prices of the GT 1.5 TSI MT and the Highline 1.0 TSI MT variants by Rs 4,000, while the Highline 1.0 TSI with automatic transmission is dearer by Rs 9,000.
