When the road becomes the destination, the Taigun and Virtus turn travel into something unforgettable

BEYOND JOURNEYS

There was a time when a holiday meant rushing to the airport, shuffling through queues, and waiting for cramped seats to take you somewhere far. But things have changed. In India today, the journey has started to matter as much as the destination. With highways smoother, pit stops friendlier, and once-remote corners finally connected, travellers are swapping boarding passes for steering wheels. The road trip is back, and it's not just convenient, it's the adventure in itself.

That's where Volkswagen's Taigun and Virtus step in. They aren't just cars in the literal sense; they've become tickets to freedom. Both models are powered by Volkswagen's acclaimed TSI family of engines — the 1.0-litre TSI that blends efficiency with spirited performance, and the larger 1.5-litre TSI EVO that adds a layer of punch and refinement, complete with active cylinder technology for better economy on long hauls. On the road, these turbo-petrol powertrains give drivers confidence whether they're gliding down expressways or powering through mountain switchbacks. And paired with Volkswagen's European build quality, they make every trip as secure as it is enjoyable.
