VW Taigun GT Edge Trail Edition: Geared Up For Adventure Enthusiasts in India
by AutoExpert | 6 November, 2023
Volkswagen has stirred the Indian SUV market with the introduction of the Taigun GT Edge Trail Edition, promising a combination of performance and style for mild adventure seekers. This special edition, exclusive to the Indian terrain, is a visually enhanced version of the well-known VW Taigun, sharing its lineage with the global T-Cross model.
The Aesthetics of Adventure
The GT Edge Trail Edition stands out with its distinctive black and red decals, boldly stretching across the vehicle's profile, and 'Trail' lettering adorning the rear fenders.
The 'Trail Edge' emblem is proudly displayed on the tailgate, signaling the SUV's readiness for adventure. Practicality meets style with the addition of roof bars atop the standard roof rails.
The Taigun's assertive stance is further emphasized by its Black Belmont 17-inch alloy wheels, complemented by a choice of Candy White, Reflex Silver, or Carbon Steel Grey paintwork.
An Interior Built for Comfort
Inside, the Taigun GT Edge Trail Edition doesn't shy away from comfort, featuring leatherette upholstery with Trail badges, stylish stainless steel pedals, and the convenience of puddle lights and a dashcam.
Despite the exclusion of some high-end features found in the GT Plus trim, the special edition still boasts a 10-inch infotainment system, a rearview camera, and a wireless charging pad, ensuring a comfortable and connected driving experience.
Engineered for Excitement
The heart of this special edition is the turbocharged 1.5-liter TSI four-cylinder petrol engine, delivering 148 hp and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox for engaging driving dynamics. However, it is worth noting that this version of the Taigun is a front-wheel drive only, aligning with its design for mild off-road adventures.
Pricing and Availability
With a competitive price tag of Rs 16.3 lakh, the VW Taigun GT Edge Trail Edition is set to rival the likes of Hyundai Creta Adventure Edition in India, offering a blend of style, comfort, and performance for the adventurous spirit.
