Volkswagen has added two new colour options with this facelift.
The lower-spec Comfortline, Highline, and Highline Plus variants don't get the Deep Black colour option.
The Highline Plus variant, in fact, gets the least number of colour options (five).
The matte finished Carbon Steel hue can be had with the two top-spec GT Plus Chrome and GT Plush Sport, respectively.
The Chrome and Sport trims of the GT Line Taigun get all the colour options. Also, these are the only two variants that get dual-tone colours.
