The dealerships of the German carmaker Volkswagen throughout India have announced  attractive offers on the Taigun SUV and Virtus sedan in January 2026. The benefits are applicable exclusively on models manufactured in 2025 and include a mix of direct cash discounts, exchange and corporate or loyalty bonuses, followed by a scrappage incentive of up to Rs 20,000. Important to remember that these benefits are high on entry-level variants, while higher trims are mostly available with exchange-linked offers.

 

 

The Taigun Comfortline, which is the entry-level variant, gets the highest discount of up to Rs 1.04 lakh. Other variants of Taigun manufactured in 2025 also receive substantial benefits. The Highline Plus AT is available with discounts of up to Rs 1 lakh, and the GT Line AT with benefits worth up to Rs 80,000. These variants are powered by Volkswagen’s turbo-petrol engine options paired with manual and automatic transmissions.  Whereas, the Taigun GT Plus Chrome DSG and GT Plus Sport DSG variants, powered by the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, are offered with an exchange bonus of up to Rs 50,000. The Volkswagen Taigun, which rivals the Hyundai Creta and Tata Sierra, is expected to receive a facelift later this year. Currently, prices for the Taigun range between Rs 11.42 lakh and Rs 19.19 lakh (ex-showroom).

 

Apart from the Taigun, the Volkswagen Virtus sedan also receives the highest discounts on entry-level variants this month. The Virtus Comfortline MT is available with benefits of up to Rs 1.26 lakh, making it the most discounted variant. The Highline Plus AT gets discounts of up to Rs 1 lakh, while the GT Line AT is offered with benefits of up to Rs 80,000.

However, no offers are currently available on the manual versions of the 1.5-litre variants. The Virtus is in direct competition with the Honda City and Hyundai Verna. The Virtus is also due for a facelift by the end of this year or early next year. Prices for the Virtus currently range from Rs 11.20 lakh to Rs 18.78 lakh (ex-showroom).
