Why Have The Prices Reduced?

Prior to the correction in the GST rates, the Volkswagen cars were placed in different tax brackets given their specifications and dimensions. Both the Virtus and Taigun are compact offerings and thus fall into the first category as given in the table below. On the other hand, the Tiguan R-Line is a big SUV with engine capacity exceeding 1,500cc, and hence has a higher tax slab. Check out the below table for more details about the taxes levied on Volkswagen cars in India:

Both the Taigun and Virtus were previously subject to a 45 percent tax, mainly because of their length that exceeds 4 metres. Both the cars get 1,000 cc and 1,500 cc engine options, and are now placed in the 40 percent tax slab. The Tiguan R-Line, also measuring over four metres in length, but having a larger 2,000 cc engine, falls in the special SUVs’ tax category and is now subject to a 40 percent tax as well.

When Will The New Prices Be Applicable?

The new prices of the three Volkswagen cars mentioned above are applicable to all buyers starting September 22, 2025.

CarDekho Says

It’s good to see the German carmaker pass on huge savings to new buyers eyeing a Virtus, Taigun, Tiguan R-Line, or even the Golf GTI. Prices of Volkswagen’s more expensive models have come down by up to Rs 3.27 lakh which should make them relatively more accessible to a wider set of buyers.
