What's New in the Facelift
- The Taigun facelift receives a new front fascia with refreshed headlamp treatment, a revised grille, and updated bumper design for a more upscale look.
- The rear styling is updated too, with revised tail-lamp graphics and a cleaner, more modern tailgate treatment.
- Volkswagen has added new exterior colours: Avocado Pearl Effect and Steel Grey.
- The facelift introduces Carbon Steel Matte, reserved for the GT Plus trims.
- The interior gets an updated cabin theme, with a more premium look and new feature packaging compared with the outgoing model.
- Feature content is expanded, including ventilated front seats, wireless charging, and a more premium infotainment setup on higher trims.
- The trim structure is revised into 7 trims and 11 SKUs: Comfortline, Highline, Highline Plus, GT Line, Topline, GT Plus Chrome, and GT Plus Sport.
- The facelift continues with the same platform and unchanged dimensions, so the changes are focused on styling, features, and variant reshuffling rather than structural re-engineering.
- The model remains FWD-only and continues to use the same two-engine strategy: the 1.0 TSI across mainstream trims and the 1.5 TSI with ACT exclusively on the two GT Plus trims.
