German carmaker Volkswagen has launched the limited time Sound Edition of its Taigun SUV and Virtus sedan. As its name suggests, this new edition does not come with any sort of mechanical updates as it focuses on the musical aspect of both cars.
This new addition to its range comes just a few weeks after the brand launched the Trail Edition for the Taigun. Let us take a closer look at what this music-centric Edition gets you.
VW Sound Edition: Add-ons & Colours
The Sound Edition of the higher-spec Dynamic Line variants for the Virtus and Taigun now includes a subwoofer and amplifier previously exclusive to the top-spec GT models. Beyond these additions, both vehicles receive an enhanced audio system, along with the subwoofer and amplifier, enhancing the musical aspect of the driving experience.
Distinctive badges, such as the ‘Sound’ badge on the B-pillar and ‘Sound’ spelled out on equalizer decals on the C-pillar make the Sound Edition stand out. Inside, the ‘Sound’ badge extends to the tweeters on the A-Pillar, highlighting the emphasis on the audio enhancements.
The Sound Edition offers four primary colour options—Lava Blue, Carbon Steel Grey, Wild Cherry Red, and Rising Blue. Additionally, it’s available in a dual-tone paint scheme featuring an all-white roofs and ORVM covers. Aside from these changes, the Sound Edition aligns with the features of the Topline trim.
