Volkswagen Taigun: Price Expectation

The much-anticipated Volkswagen Taigun is finally on sale in India. The compact SUV has been launched at a starting ex-showroom price of ₹ 10.50 lakh for the base Comfort Line 1.0 TSI variant which prices go up to ₹ 17.50 lakh for the GT Plus 1.5 TSI top-end trip. Yes!

You read that right, Volkswagen has axed-down the base Trend Line variant for the Taigun and comes in a new fully-loaded range-topping Topline variant in the 1.0-litre Dynamic Line Taigun.

Now this is part of Volkswagen's new model positioning strategy in its India 2.0 game plan, as the German brand feels that its customers aspire for a decently equipped and upmarket offering even at the base level. And so the stripped-down base variant is not on offer.
