Volkswagen Cars in India
Volkswagen sells five cars in India, the Virtus, Taigun, Tayron, Tiguan and Golf GTI, from ₹10.71 lakh to ₹50.91 lakh. See prices, variants and colours.
Volkswagen Virtus
₹10.70 Lakh onwards
Volkswagen sells five cars in India, and they fall into two clear groups. The Virtus sedan and the Taigun compact SUV cost between 10.71 lakh and 19.47 lakh ex-showroom. Above them sit the Tayron, the Tiguan R-Line and the Golf GTI, priced from 41.99 lakh to 50.91 lakh. Nothing in the range falls between about 20 lakh and 42 lakh.
Every Volkswagen here runs on turbo petrol. The Virtus midsize sedan and the facelifted Taigun share a 115 PS 1.0 TSI and a 150 PS 1.5 TSI, and both carry six airbags on every trim. The Taigun has moved its 1.0 TSI to an eight speed automatic, while the Virtus keeps a six speed unit. Their GT Plus trims pair the 1.5 TSI with a seven speed DSG.
The bigger SUVs share a 204 PS 2.0 TSI with 4MOTION all wheel drive. The Tayron is the largest Volkswagen on sale, and in its R-Line form the only one with seven seats. The Tiguan R-Line is a single, fully loaded five seater with a head-up display and 21 Level 2 ADAS features.
The 265 PS Golf GTI is the only hatchback and the most expensive car in the range at 50.91 lakh. Volkswagen currently lists it as sold out, so check with a dealer before you plan around one.
Having gone through every current Volkswagen brochure and price list, we would point most families to a Virtus or a Taigun. Pick the sedan for its 521 litre boot and lower starting price, or the SUV for its higher seating and the panoramic sunroof on its upper trims.

Volkswagen is the smaller seller of the pair, with the Virtus sedan and Taigun SUV leading its range. For a buyer, Volkswagen brings German engineering and a settled, safe drive, but the compact network means you should confirm a service centre is within easy reach.

Volkswagen cars: frequently asked questions
Does Volkswagen sell a diesel or CNG car in India?
No. Every Volkswagen sold in India runs on turbo petrol, with no diesel, CNG or electric model listed. The Virtus and Taigun use a 1.0 or 1.5 TSI, the Tayron and Tiguan a 204 PS 2.0 TSI, and the Golf GTI a 265 PS 2.0 TSI. We checked each current brochure to confirm this. If you drive long highway distances, compare the certified fuel figures on each model page before you decide.
Which Volkswagen car returns the best mileage?
The Virtus 1.0 TSI manual leads at 20.19 km/l, by Volkswagen's certified figures. The Taigun 1.0 TSI manual follows at 19.98 km/l, and the Virtus 1.5 TSI DSG returns 19.62 km/l. The Tiguan's 12.58 km/l comes from the EU type approval, not an Indian test, and Volkswagen has published no figure for the Tayron or Golf GTI. For the lowest running cost, choose a 1.0 TSI Virtus or Taigun.
What SUVs can you buy from Volkswagen right now?
Volkswagen sells three SUVs. The Taigun is the compact five seater, priced from 10.99 lakh to 19.47 lakh. The Tayron costs 41.99 lakh as the five seat Life and 47.74 lakh as the seven seat R-Line. The Tiguan R-Line, at 47.11 lakh, is a single five seat version. The two big SUVs share a 204 PS 2.0 TSI with 4MOTION all wheel drive. All prices are ex-showroom, so check the on-road figure for your city on each model page.
Can you get a seven seater from Volkswagen in India?
Only the Tayron R-Line seats seven, at 47.74 lakh ex-showroom. The Tayron Life at 41.99 lakh has five seats and a bigger 885 litre boot. The R-Line also adds HD matrix headlights, a 38.1 cm screen, Harman Kardon audio, a head-up display and a 360 degree camera. Both use a 204 PS 2.0 TSI with a seven speed DSG and 4MOTION. With all three rows up, the R-Line's boot holds 345 litres.
Why do Volkswagen prices jump from about 11 lakh to over 40 lakh?
Volkswagen's range has no model in the middle. The Virtus and Taigun run from 10.71 lakh to 19.47 lakh with 1.0 and 1.5 TSI engines. The next car up is the Tayron Life at 41.99 lakh, followed by the Tiguan R-Line at 47.11 lakh, the Tayron R-Line at 47.74 lakh and the Golf GTI at 50.91 lakh. These bigger cars bring 2.0 TSI engines and Level 2 ADAS. If your budget sits between 20 lakh and 40 lakh, a top Virtus or Taigun GT Plus is the closest Volkswagen fit.
How do Volkswagen's GT and GTI models differ?
GT badges sit on the top trims of the Virtus and Taigun. Their GT Plus trims use the 150 PS 1.5 TSI with a seven speed DSG and cost up to 19.47 lakh. The GT Line trims keep the 1.0 TSI and add only the sporty styling. GTI is a separate car, the Golf GTI, with a 265 PS 2.0 TSI, 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and a 50.91 lakh price. Volkswagen currently lists the Golf GTI as sold out.
