It is also worth mentioning that the new Volkswagen Taigun Anniversary Edition SUV is available in different trim levels - Dynamic Line and Top Line.

To make the Anniversary Edition of the Volkswagen Taigun SUV a bit more distinct and special, Volkswagen has smeared the SUV with "1st" badges on both the interior and exterior of the SUV along with 11 other specially developed elements.

The 11 specially developed elements on the newly launched Volkswagen Taigun Anniversary Edition SUV include high lux fog lamps, body-coloured door garnish, black roof rail, black C-pillar graphics, sporty-looking black ORVM caps, window visors, door-edge protectors, aluminium pedals and more.

Mr Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars India said, "The Taigun has had an extremely fulfilling journey in India as well as reaching the global stage by being the Top 3 finalists at the World Car of the Year. We have been extremely overwhelmed with the feedback, appreciation and acceptance the SUVW has received from our customers. The carline truly embodies the core DNA of the Volkswagen brand with a superior build quality, safety and fun-to-drive experience. With the introduction of this celebratory First Anniversary Edition offering, we would like to thank our valued customers who have been instrumental in making Taigun one of the most admired SUVW in India and resonated with the #HustleModeOn personality of the Taigun."

The launch of the Volkswagen Taigun Anniversary Edition is expected to further boost the sales of the Taigun SUV in India, which is very essential to the German automaker right now as the sales of the SUV has reached the lowest figure in August 2022 since the launch of the SUV.
