Volkswagen continues testing the Taigun ahead of its launch that is scheduled to take place later this year. New spy images shared on the web reveal an uncamouflaged, production-ready test-mule of the SUV.

As seen in the images, the new Volkswagen Taigun features a dual projector lens and LED DRLs in the headlamp setup, a two-slat grille with chrome inserts, dual-tone bumpers with a chrome insert, and fog lights with chrome surrounds. On either side, the model receives dual-tone alloy wheels, A-pillar mounted ORVMs, and body cladding. At the rear, the SUV gets LED tail lights, a chrome insert on the rear bumper, reflectors, wiper and washer, and an LED strip running the length of the boot-lid. Also on offer are contrast coloured skid plates at the front and rear.

Inside, the 2021 Volkswagen Taigun will feature a dual-tone theme, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a fully digital instrument console, wireless charging, automatic climate control, a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, and USB Type-C ports.

Under the hood, the upcoming Volkswagen Taigun will be powered by 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI petrol engines. The former is capable of producing 115bhp and 175Nm of torque, while the latter produces 150bhp and 250Nm of torque. A six-speed manual unit is standard, while a six-speed automatic unit and a seven-speed DSG automatic unit are available as an option with the 1.0 and 1.5 variants, respectively.
