Volkswagen Taigun And Virtus Sound Edition Teased Ahead Of Launch Tomorrow


The upcoming special edition might include a subwoofer and an amplifier for the regular variants of the two Volkswagen cars

Volkswagen Virtus and Taigun Sound edition

  • The ‘Sound’ edition is a newly designed special version of the SUV in addition to those unveiled earlier in 2023.

  • Both could feature special edition decals like the ones seen on the GT Edge Trail Edition.

  • There won’t be any mechanical changes; the Volkswagen duo comes with 1-litre and 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine options.

Following the introduction of the GT Edge Trail Edition of the Volkswagen Taigun, the German carmaker has teased another special edition of the compact SUV. Known as the ‘Sound’ edition, it will also be offered with the Volkswagen Virtus and is scheduled to be launched tomorrow.

Potential Features

Based on its name, we anticipate that Volkswagen may introduce audio or music system-related changes with the special editions of its compact SUV and sedan offerings. Currently, only the GT Plus and GT Edge variants of the Taigun and Virtus come with a subwoofer and an amplifier, which could possibly be extended to the higher-spec variants under the Dynamic Line.

As it is a special edition, a few cosmetic changes can also be expected, such as unique decals similar to those on the Taigun’s GT Edge Trail Edition. It’s also important to note that this special edition is distinct from the models that Volkswagen unveiled in the first half of the year. While other car manufacturers have primarily focused on introducing special editions centered around cosmetic changes, Volkswagen seems to be the only one introducing a sound-specific edition.

No Changes Under the Hood

Volkswagen 1-litre turbo-petrol engine

The latest special edition will not include any mechanical changes. The Volkswagen Taigun and Virtus are available with two turbo-petrol engine options: a 1-litre 3-cylinder unit (115 PS/178 Nm) and a 1.5-litre engine (150 PS/250 Nm). Both engines come with a standard 6-speed manual transmission. The 1-litre unit offers an optional 6-speed AT, while the 1.5-litre engine comes with a 7-speed DCT (dual clutch transmission) automatic option.

The sedan is priced between Rs 11.48 lakh and Rs 19.29 lakh, while the Volkswagen SUV’s price ranges from Rs 11.62 lakh to Rs 19.76 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).

How Nio’s brand-building strategy extends beyond automotive

NIO at Shanghai Autoshow

Nio has a dedicated app that is as much about building loyalty as selling cars

Your wallet or smartphone is likely to be filled with various loyalty cards and apps that offer rewards for purchasing different products. However, Chinese firm Nio is taking this concept beyond retail and applying it to the automotive industry. While most car companies have apps that provide sales information or allow consumers to control their vehicles, Nio’s app focuses on building loyalty and creating a social media network for its customers. Nio currently has hundreds of thousands of car sales, but its app boasts 2.3 million registered users, with around 240,000 active users each day. The app has facilitated the sharing of 20 million posts, showcasing its success in creating a dedicated community of Nio enthusiasts.

Nio’s brand-building efforts extend beyond its app as well. The company organizes events, such as camping trips, for its loyal customers who sign up for these experiences through the app. These events serve as an opportunity for Nio owners to connect with like-minded individuals and share their enthusiasm for the brand. Nio also collaborates with its users through a partner program, where discounts are offered to other app users. The focus on user satisfaction is a key aspect of Nio’s strategy, as the company believes that existing owners are their best ambassadors.

In addition to building a community through its app and events, Nio has created physical spaces called Nio Houses. These establishments not only showcase Nio cars but also feature coffee shops where customers can purchase Nio-branded drinks and snacks using either cash or Nio points. Nio points can be earned by participating in Nio events, posting on the app, or buying Nio products. Speaking of products, Nio has developed a brand called Nio Life, which offers a wide range of merchandise across different categories, including homeware, fashion, and food.

Nio’s commitment to community-building is evident in its formation of a user advisory board consisting of company representatives and elected owners. This board helps guide the company’s efforts, including charitable initiatives supported by the dividends from the shares donated by Nio’s founder. Despite its success in China, the question remains: will Nio’s unique approach to brand-building translate to other markets, particularly Europe? Nio is expanding into various European countries, including the UK, and believes that the trust and loyalty it has fostered with its users can be replicated elsewhere.
