Volkswagen Passenger Cars India has recently launched additional versions of the Virtus and Taigun models under the GT category in response to market needs. The Virtus lineup now includes a new variant called GT Plus, which comes with a six-speed manual transmission and carries an introductory ex-showroom price of 16.89 lakh. As for the Taigun range, two new variants have been introduced: GT DSG and GT Plus with manual transmission.

The newly introduced GT DSG and GT Plus manual transmission variants for the Volkswagen Taigun are priced at 16.79 lakh and 17.79 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively. This expands the Taigun lineup to a total of nine variants, encompassing both the Dynamic (1.0l TSI) and Performance Line (1.5l TSI EVO engine), offering a wide range of options to meet the diverse needs of customers.

Notably, the newly launched variants of Taigun and Virtus will be accessible to customers through Volkswagen's extensive network of 161 sales touch points located in 121 cities across the country. 

Ashish Gupta, Brand Director of Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, emphasized that the GT badge was initially introduced on the Performance Line versions of the Taigun and Virtus, but now the company aims to make it more widely available by introducing additional variants for customers to select from, thereby democratizing the GT badge.

In addition, Volkswagen has introduced a special collection called GT Edge Limited, which includes the Virtus GT Plus DSG and GT Plus manual models with a Deep Black Pearl exterior body color. The collection also features the Taigun GT Plus DSG and GT Plus manual models in Deep Black Pearl and Carbon Steel Grey Matte finish exterior color options. These exclusive vehicles will be manufactured based on online bookings made by customers, with deliveries scheduled to commence in July. 

Gupta added that the GT Edge Limited Collection presents a more sporty and attention-grabbing version of the Taigun and Virtus, combining style and performance in a perfect manner.
