Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus trim now gets ventilated seats for an extra ₹25,000
- The top-spec Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus now gets ventilated seats which were previously only offered on the 1.0-litre Topline variant
Volkswagen India has silently updated the Taigun lineup and the top-spec GT Plus variant now comes with ventilated seats as an option. Customers can opt for the convenience feature by paying an extra ₹25,000, bringing the new asking price to ₹18.96 lakh (ex-showroom). Do note that the Taigun GT Plus variant will continue to be sold without ventilated seats at the existing price of ₹18.71 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
Previously, the Volkswagen Taigun got ventilated seats only on the Topline variant with the 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The addition of the feature is a big welcome and comes right in time with the onset of summer across the country. Barring the addition of ventilated seats, the Taigun GT Plus remains the same in terms of equipment and hardware. Other features available on the model include a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ambient lighting, an electric sunroof, climate control, a digital instrument console, wireless charging and more.

Ventilated seats quickly caught on in the compact SUV as a feature, given how comfortable it makes your drive.
