The Volkswagen Taigun now sports a sharper front grille with more body-colored panels, a slim light bar, and a glowing VW logo. Its side profile looks mostly the same, but it adds stylish 17-inch gloss black alloy wheels. The rear stays unchanged except for an illuminated logo and sequential turn signals with welcome and goodbye animations. This mid-size SUV was already good-looking, and the updates make it even more polished in true VW style. Two fresh colors join the seven existing ones (like Wild Cherry Red, Candy White, and Deep Black Pearl): Avocado Pearl and Steel Grey.
