They also recieve special “sound” decals on the C-pillars. Additionally, the Taigun Tucson also features a contrast-coloured roof & ORVMs.

Since the Sound Editions are based on the Dynamic Line, they only get the 1-litre, 3-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that produces 115PS of max power and 178Nm of peak torque. It can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.

Volkswagen also offers the range-topping GT line variant of both Taigun and Virtus with a more powerful 1.5-litre turbo-petrol mill (150PS/250Nm) paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT).
