It gets 3D floor mats and stainless steel pedals
Inside, the limited-run Taigun offers cosmetic upgrades such as 3D floor mats, leatherette seat covers with Trail badging, and stainless steel foot pedals. The rest of the interior remains unchanged. The Trail Edition is available with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also has a wireless charger, ambient lighting, an electric sunroof, a multifunctional steering wheel, ESC, TPMS, and active cylinder management technology (ACT).
It draws power from a 1.5-liter TSI EVO engine
Underneath its hood, the Taigun GT Edge Trail Edition houses the same 1.5-liter, TSI EVO, turbo-petrol engine as the standard version. The motor is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT gearbox. The mill generates 148hp of maximum power and 250Nm of peak torque. Volkswagen has introduced multiple traction modes to make the Trail Edition more attractive to adventure enthusiasts.
