VW Cars To Cost A Tad More From April 2023

With the BS6 phase II emission norms already underway, Volkswagen has hiked the prices of its cars in India. The carmaker had recently added new features to the Virtus and Taigun, and these updates have likely been factored into the hike as well, alongside the powertrain revisions needed for RDE compliance. 

The Volkswagen Virtus sedan, Taigun compact SUV and Tiguan midsize SUV now get RDE-compliant powertrains and their prices are as follows. 

2023 Volkswagen Virtus price 

VW Virtus Variant	Older price	Newer price	Difference
Virtus 1-litre TSI
Comfortline MT	Rs 11.32 lakh	Rs 11.48 lakh	Rs 16,000
Highline MT	Rs 13.18 lakh	Rs 13.38 lakh	Rs 20,000
Highline AT	Rs 14.48 lakh	Rs 14.68 lakh	Rs 20,000
Topline MT	Rs 14.70 lakh	Rs 14.90 lakh	Rs 20,000
Topline AT	Rs 16.00 lakh	Rs 16.20 lakh	Rs 20,000
Virtus 1.5-litre TSI
GT Plus DCT	Rs 18.42 lakh	Rs 18.57 lakh	Rs 15,000

• Aside from the RDE updates, the Virtus now gets rear fog lamps on all variants. 

• Mid-spec and top-spec variants of the 1-litre TSI Virtus sedan get an even price hike of Rs 20,000. 

• The range-topping GT Plus variant gets the smallest price hike of Rs 15,000. 

VW Taigun price 

• The Taigun’s base variant gets a nominal price correction and the SUV range now starts at Rs 11.62 lakh (ex-showroom).

Volkswagen Tiguan price

• Sold in only one fully loaded variant, the Tiguan now costs Rs 70,000 more. 

Volkswagen’s price correction isn’t that hard to digest when the Virtus and Taigun are considered, given the feature updates that come along with it. However, the Tiguan does get a sizeable hike without receiving any additional equipment or features. 

All prices are ex-showroom, pan-India.
