VW Tiguan- In a surprising yet strategic move, Volkswagen India has introduced hefty discounts on its newly launched Tiguan R-Line SUV, along with significant benefits on its India 2.0 models – Virtus and Taigun. These deals, available through select dealerships in July 2025, are expected to boost sales and attract buyers amid stiff competition in the mid- to high-end SUV and sedan segments.
VW Tiguan R-Line Gets ₹3 Lakh Discount Within 3 Months of Launch
Volkswagen’s premium SUV, the Tiguan R-Line, was launched in April 2025 as the brand’s flagship model for the Indian market. Priced at ₹49 lakh (ex-showroom), this SUV is brought to India via the CBU (Completely Built-Up) route and is offered in a single, fully-loaded trim.
However, just under three months since launch, some Volkswagen dealerships are now offering discounts of up to ₹3 lakh on the Tiguan R-Line. These offers include:
Cash discount of up to ₹2 lakh
Additional benefits worth ₹1 lakh (including exchange bonuses, corporate offers, and loyalty benefits)
This price correction comes at a time when the SUV segment is witnessing high competition, especially from newer 7-seater models like the Skoda Kodiaq, which launched soon after the Tiguan R-Line. While the Kodiaq offers added practicality, Volkswagen appears to be realigning Tiguan’s appeal by improving its value-for-money quotient.
Additionally, reports suggest that Volkswagen is considering launching the Tayron—a larger 7-seater version of the Tiguan—potentially to match the evolving preferences of Indian premium SUV buyers.

India 2.0 Cars Also Get Big Benefits: Taigun and Virtus Up To ₹2.5 Lakh Off
Volkswagen’s made-in-India offerings under the India 2.0 platform, namely the Taigun SUV and the Virtus sedan, are also part of this discount wave.
Taigun July 2025 Discounts:
- Topline 1.0L AT: Up to ₹2.5 lakh discount (highest in the range)
- GT 1.5L MT & DSG: Up to ₹2.44 lakh

Virtus July 2025 Discounts:
- Topline 1.0L AT: Up to ₹2 lakh
- GT Plus Sport: Up to ₹1.1 lakh
- Other trims: Varying discounts depending on variant and dealer
These aggressive discounts aim to maintain momentum in the highly competitive compact SUV and mid-size sedan markets, where rivals like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda City, and Skoda Slavia have been doing consistently well.

Why These Discounts Matter
The automotive industry is seeing a shift in buyer behavior, with value-for-money becoming a top priority—even in premium segments. By slashing prices just months after launch, Volkswagen is attempting to:
- Attract more footfall to dealerships
- Clear inventory ahead of festive season stock
- Make space for upcoming models like the Tayron or next-gen updates
Such high-value discounts also make VW models more competitive against feature-rich alternatives in their respective segments.
