Volkswagen India has rolled out substantial discounts across its popular Virtus sedan and Taigun SUV lineup for May 2025, with benefits reaching up to ₹2.5 lakh on select variants. This aggressive pricing move aims to boost showroom footfall and attract price-conscious customers in a competitive market.
Price Drops and Scrappage Benefits
Both the Virtus and Taigun now come with revised starting prices. The base variants of the Virtus and Taigun have been brought down to ₹10.44 lakh and ₹10.99 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively. Additionally, Volkswagen is offering a scrappage incentive of ₹20,000 on the base 1.0 TSI variants of both models, sweetening the deal further for buyers exchanging their old vehicles.
Volkswagen Virtus Discounts
The Virtus sedan, known for its refined performance and sharp styling, receives a range of discounts based on the variant and powertrain:
- Virtus GT Line 1.0 TSI AT: Up to ₹80,000 off, plus a ₹20,000 scrappage bonus

Under the hood, the Virtus offers two turbo-petrol engine options — a 1.0-litre TSI producing 115 PS and 178 Nm, and a more powerful 1.5-litre TSI generating 150 PS and 250 Nm. Depending on the variant, buyers can choose between manual, automatic, and DSG transmission options.
Volkswagen Taigun Discounts
The mid-size Taigun SUV sees even deeper discounts, especially on the higher-end variants:

The Taigun shares its powertrain options with the Virtus, offering a choice between the efficient 1.0-litre TSI and the performance-focused 1.5-litre TSI, both tuned for city agility and highway confidence.
Competitive Edge in a Crowded Segment
These limited-time offers position Volkswagen’s Virtus and Taigun more aggressively against segment leaders. The additional scrappage benefit and revised entry prices make the German automaker’s duo even more appealing to first-time and upgrade-seeking buyers.
Availability
Volkswagen has clarified that these offers are applicable throughout May 2025 but may vary by dealership, location, and availability. Interested buyers can contact their nearest Volkswagen dealership for variant-specific offers and on-road pricing.
