Interested in buying the Volkswagen Taigun facelift? Here's our Ultimate Buying Guide!
Volkswagen recently gave the Taigun a small facelift in India, to enhance its appeal with new equipment, updated styling and a new automatic gearbox as well.
All these changes mean that prices have been increased, and the SUV now starts at Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom). However, if you were looking to bring it home, it is important to consider its final on-road price, and here we have compiled the same for the top 5 Indian cities:
How Is The On-Road Price Calculated?
When you go to purchase a car, the ex-showroom price quoted is what the car alone costs you. However there are some more charges and fees to be paid before you can actually drive home your vehicle such as:
Insurance Premium
Road Tax (varies depending on state of registration)
Registration Fees
FASTag charges
TCS (Tax Collected at Source) for cars with an ex-showroom price above Rs 10 lakh
Accessories (optional)
Note: All variants of the Volkswagen Taigun are priced above Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) and thus incur TCS at 1%. |
