Following the rollout of a subscription programme for Polo, Vento, and T-Roc last month, Volkswagen India has now introduced a similar program for its newly entrant Taigun in selected cities. Buyers can choose from the Comfortline, Highline, Topline, and GT Plus variants of the SUV. Unfortunately, the GT variant (comes with a 1.5-liter TSI-manual powertrain) won't be available for rent.
