THE VOLKSWAGEN TAIGUN
Overdrive
|November 2025
In a world where cars strive to be everything at once, whether it's gadgets, social statements, or rolling screens, it's rare to find one that remembers what truly matters.
-
The connection between driver and machine. The smile that creeps in when you push the button, shift into gear, and feel that unmistakable surge of power. That's where the Volkswagen Taigun stands apart. Because this is not just another SUV. It's a car with character.
And that character shines through in every detail, from its bold stance to the way it carves through corners with German confidence. The Taigun is for those who don't just drive to move, but to feel something.
Redefining Style
The Taigun has always embodied what Volkswagen calls “SUVW”, an SUV built with Volkswagen DNA. It carries that distinct German flair that’s instantly recognisable, taut lines, solid proportions, and a stance that says purpose before words do.
With the introduction of the GT Line variants, Volkswagen has elevated that design to new heights. Both bring in darker, sportier personas that add a thrilling edge to the already handsome SUV. The GT Plus Sport arrives in a bold dark avatar, accentuated by red GT badges and brake callipers that give it a racing-inspired intensity. Its 17-inch dark chrome alloy wheels, black LED headlamps, and subtle red accents across the grille and interior create an ambience of sleek sophistication.
The GT Line, on the other hand, extends that sportiness to a wider audience. It adopts a black theme across all colour options, offering the same sporty visual appeal with Volkswagen's trusted 1.0L TSI engine, a turbocharged engine that's efficient, energetic, and engineered for everyday thrill. By introducing the GT badge here, Volkswagen has democratised performance. You no longer need to stretch for exclusivity; the thrill of a GT is now within everyone's reach.
