Volkswagen has launched the Virtus and Taigun Sound Edition just a few weeks after launching the Taigun Trail Edition. Prices for the Virtus Sound Edition start at Rs 15.52 lakh and that of the Taigun starts at Rs 16.33 lakh. Both models do not receive any mechanical updates and are focused purely on musical experience, like the Nissan Magnite Geza edition.
