Volkswagen unveiled the special edition avatars of its Virtus Sedan and Taigun SUV on Monday. The automaker has introduced the Black Edition, a limited-edition version of the SUV and sedan, just a few days after the debut of the Sound Edition models.

The front and back bumpers of the SUV and sedan also come with contrasting chrome elements. The manufacturer has not revealed any significant details regarding the interior of the special edition SUV and sedan.
