Overview
- Volkswagen said the Taigun and Virtus will receive mid-cycle updates in India in 2026.
- The Taigun refresh will follow the updated Skoda Kushaq with subtle exterior tweaks, upgraded cabin materials, and a features realignment that is not expected to add ADAS at this stage.
- The Virtus update is slated for the latter half of the year with a possible larger infotainment system, revised software, and premium interior trims, while an eight-speed automatic is under consideration.
- ADAS development for mass-market models is underway with a top-down rollout already seen on the Tiguan R-Line and Golf GTI and planned for the Tayron R-Line, but no timeline has been announced for India 2.0 cars.
- Volkswagen and Škoda are expected to share ADAS integration learnings, and VW reports that 60% of Taigun and Virtus sales come from top-spec GT variants with strong demand for automatics.
