What's New with the Taigun Facelift?

The updated Taigun gets a thoroughly refreshed exterior aligned with Volkswagen's global design philosophy, highlighted up front by a new grille with an integrated light band and a segment-first illuminated front and rear logo.

At the rear, it gets Infinity LED tail lamps with sequential turn indicators, while new alloy designs and sharper body surfaces round off the exterior changes.

Inside, the cabin gets a new-age material finish, premium upholstery, and a driver-focused layout. Higher trims add a 26.03 cm configurable digital cockpit with an Active Info Display.

This setup pairs with a 10.1-inch VW Play touchscreen infotainment system, which includes 15 built-in apps and “Hello Volkswagen” voice commands powered by Google Cloud’s Automotive AI Agent. Higher trims further add a panoramic sunroof.

Lastly, the new Taigun continues with a 5-star Global NCAP rating and comes with 6 airbags across all variants, along with over 40 safety features, ensuring comprehensive protection.
