Volkswagen Adds Festive Offers up to ₹3 Lakh

Volkswagen India has announced that it will fully extend the benefits of the revised Goods and Services Tax (GST 2.0) structure to customers across its product lineup. The revised prices will take effect from September 22, 2025.

Under the new tax regime, Volkswagen models will see significant price reductions. The Virtus will get benefits of up to Rs 66,900, the Taigun up to Rs 68,400, and the flagship Tiguan R-Line up to Rs 3,26,900, depending on the variant.

In addition to GST-linked price cuts, Volkswagen is also offering limited-period benefits ranging from Rs 1.61 lakh on select Taigun variants to Rs 3 lakh on the Tiguan R-Line. Customers can contact their nearest Volkswagen showroom for detailed pricing and offers.

With the festive season around the corner, Volkswagen expects the updated pricing and additional offers to strengthen demand for its portfolio, which currently includes the Taigun, Virtus, Tiguan R-Line, and Golf GTI in India.

From September 22, 2025, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on small cars, motorcycles up to 350cc, three-wheelers, buses, trucks, and ambulances will be reduced from 28% to 18%. This move is set to lower the prices of popular budget cars such as the Maruti Suzuki Alto, Hyundai Grand i10, and Tata Tiago by nearly 10%, while mass-market two-wheelers including the Honda Shine, Bajaj Pulsar, Honda Activa, and Hero Splendor will also become more affordable.

The GST Council has also simplified taxation by introducing a uniform 18% rate on all auto parts, removing earlier disparities caused by HS code classifications. The lower slab will extend to small petrol and diesel hybrid cars within the specified limits (petrol up to 1,200cc/4,000mm and diesel up to 1,500cc/4,000mm).

On the other hand, luxury cars, large SUVs (over 4,000mm with petrol engines above 1,200cc and diesel above 1,500cc), and motorcycles over 350cc will now be taxed at 40%, making them costlier.

Agriculture machinery too stands to benefit, as GST on tractors and equipment such as harvesters, threshers, soil preparation tools, fodder balers, grass sowing machines, hay movers, and composters has been slashed from 12% to 5%.
