The great Indian festive season is here, and it’s not just bringing brand new cars but also bringing a slew of hefty discounts on cars that are already on sale here. Case in point is thee Volkswagen Taigun compact SUV, which is now available at a massive discount of Rs. 2.3 lakh. That’s not the only Volkswagen going at a steep discount though. The Virtus sedan – a best seller – is also available at a discount of Rs. 1.25 lakh. Volkswagen’s most expensive offering in India currently – the Tiguan SUV – gets a mammoth discount of Rs. 4.2 lakh. All in all. August 2024 is a great month for prospective Volkswagen car and SUV buyers. Let’s dive straight into the specifics now.
First, the Taigun
A compact SUV that rubs shoulders with the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos, the Volkswagen Taigun is what true enthusiasts pick, for the 1.5 liter TSI turbo petrol engine and the 7 speed twin clutch DSG automatic gearbox is a marriage made in heaven. Volkswagen dealers are stuck with a bunch of Taigun SUVs from 2023, and are offering 2.28 lakh rupees off on them. The Taigun with the hefty discount is the 1.5 liter TSI turbo petrol engined model with the 6 speed manual gearbox.
Other variants of the Taigun get significant discounts as well. On the 2024 models, Volkswagen is offering Rs. 1.2 lakh off on the 1.0 TSI models while the 1.5 TSI models from 2024 get a discount of up to Rs. 1.87 lakh. All in all, it’s a great time to buy the Taigun, whose 1 liter triple cylinder turbo petrol engine makes 110 Bhp-170 Nm while the 1.5 liter 4 cylinder turbo petrol engine makes 150 Bhp-250 Nm. While the smaller engine gets 6 speed manual and torque converter automatic gearbox options, the bigger engine gets 6 speed manual and 7 speed DSG twin clutch automatic gearbox options.
Now, for the Virtus
The Virtus is India’s best selling C-Segment sedan, and the car’s now offered with discounts of up to Rs. 1.25 lakh on the 1 liter TSI Automatic model while the 1.5 liter TSI engined models get a discount of Rs. 70,000. The Virtus shares its engines and gearboxes with the Taigun, while being a lot more spacious and involving to drive. It’s significant longer, and offers the feels of a true-blue sedan. What it misses though is the additional dollop of ground clearance that the Taigun offers, and not to mention, the SUV-stance.
Finally, the big daddy – Tiguan
The Tiguan is a global best selling Volkswagen SUV, and the flagship offering from the German automaker in India. 4.2 lakh rupees is the discount that the Tiguan now gets in India. The steep discount is a mix of a Rs. 75,000 cash discount, Rs. 75,000 exchange bonus, Rs. 1 Lakh Corporate Discount, Rs. 84,000 special discount and to round things off, a 4 year Volkswagen Service Value Pack. All these offers take the total discount to Rs. 4.2 lakh.
A sturdy SUV that offers a five seat layout, the Tiguan sold in India is powered by a 2 liter-4 cylinder TSI petrol engine that pumps out 190 Bhp of peak power and 320 Nm of peak torque. An all wheel drive layout is standard, and so is a 7 speed twin clutch DSG automatic gearbox.
