Volkswagen’s new Onam Editions receive a few cosmetic enhancements and feature upgrades over their regular counterparts. Both limited-run models have a sporty all-black finish with chrome accents. The interior also features an all-black theme along with additional features including a TSI badge on the front fender, puddle lamps, a dual-tone horn, and front parking sensors.
The Volkswagen Taigun Onam Edition comes with black 17-inch ‘Cassino’ alloy wheels along with features such as a powered sunroof, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 8-inch digital driver display, automatic climate control, and ventilated front seats. Save for the electric sunroof and Cassino alloys, the Volkswagen Virtus Onam Edition offers all the features available on the Taigun’s special edition.
It’s important to note that the new Volkswagen Onam Editions are offered only with the 1.0L, 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine that produces 115bhp and 175Nm of torque. Similar to the regular version, the limited-run units can be equipped with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
