Volkswagen India makes 6 airbags standard across new line-up

Volkswagen India announced the standardization of 6 airbags across all the  variants of the 5-Star GNCAP safety rated Taigun and Virtus, making India’s safest  portfolio of cars even more safe. Over one lakh Indian families have made the safer  choice of owning the GNCAP 5-Star safety rated Taigun and Virtus as their preferred  mobility solution since their market introductions to India.  

Taigun and Virtus both offer customers a 5-star GNCAP rated safe mobility experience  for both adult and child occupants. Volkswagen Taigun contributed to over 61% of  sales that led to the 100,000+ India 2.0 cars sales milestone while the Volkswagen  Virtus has established itself as the premium mid-size sedan of choice among  customers. Approximately 40% of customers have fulfilled their aspirations of owning  the highly coveted GT variants for both Taigun and Virtus, showcasing performance  at the heart of customer choice.  

Commenting on this remarkable achievement, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director,  Volkswagen Passenger Cars India said, “Today, we take great pride in announcing our  portfolio of India 2.0 cars offering 6 airbags as standard across the line-up. With this,  not only are we showcasing our commitment towards safer mobility but also  reaffirming our core belief of safety being a key product pillar for Volkswagen India.  We are also delighted to have achieved the over 100,000 sales milestone by Taigun  and Virtus. We are grateful to our customers and will continue to offer aspirational,  premium and competitive product offerings for the market.” 

Since the introduction of the India 2.0 product portfolio, Volkswagen India is  continuously enhancing its product offerings. It has expanded its variant line-up  keeping in mind customer demand for German-engineered and safe product  portfolio. Recently, the brand introduced two new variants on the Taigun – GT Line  based on the 1.0l TSI and GT Plus Sport based on the 1.5l TSI EVO engine.  
Making the brand even more accessible, Volkswagen has a network strength of 208  sales and pre-owned car touchpoints, 142 service touchpoints across 155 cities. In  addition, the brand has made significant strides towards its after-sales services,  offering the industry's most competitive total cost of ownership and transparency in its  after sales services.  

Volkswagen India continues to redefine the mobility experience, offering customers  an unparalleled driving experience, premium aesthetics, and a range of options to suit  individual preferences. The brand will continue to drive innovation, design and  performance through product offerings.
