VW Taigun GT Line & GT Plus Sport Variants Unveiled

German carmaker Volkswagen has unveiled two new variants of the Taigun SUV - GT Line and GT Plus Sport - at its Annual Brand Conference 2024. Bookings for the Volkswagen Taigun GT Sport Plus are now open

The two new variants of Volkswagen's compact SUV for India, the Taigun, bring with them quite a few cosmetic changes. Mechanically, the GT Line makes use of the smaller 1.0-turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine while the GT Plus Sport uses the more powerful 1.5-litre turbo petrol powerplant.
