Volkswagen India has announced a limited-time offer, cutting prices of the Taigun SUV by up to Rs 1.10 lakh. This adjustment brings the SUV’s starting price down to Rs 11 lakh, with the top variant now priced at Rs 18.90 lakh (ex-showroom).
The move aims to make Volkswagen Taigun more attractive choice in its segment. Among the twenty-one variants available, five are affected by the price reduction. These include Comfortline 1.0 MT, GT Plus Chrome 1.5 DSG, GT Plus Chrome 1.5 DSG with new features, 1.5 GT Plus DSG Deep Black Pearl, 1.5 GT Plus DSG Carbon Steel Grey Matte with new features. It’s important to note that the Taigun shares the MQB A0 IN platform with the Skoda Kushaq, which is highly localized.
