Today, at Volkswagen’s 2023 annual conference, the carmaker unveiled a set of updates for its sedan offering, the Virtus and its SUV offering Taigun. One of the announcements was the introduction of the new Lava Blue exterior paint for the sedan and the SUV.

Currently, customers can choose the Virtus and Taigun from seven exterior paint options namely Lava Blue, Wild Cherry Red, Curcuma Yellow, Candy White, Reflex Silver, Carbon Steel Grey, and Rising Blue Metallic.

Under the hood, both cars come equipped with BS6 Phase 2, 1.0-litre three-cylinder and a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engines.

The transmission duties are handled by a six-speed manual, a six-speed automatic, and a seven-speed DSG gearbox.

Volkswagen will announce the prices and deliveries of the new variants and limited edition models in June 2023.
