What the Highline Turbo Petrol AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Highline Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹14,75,880 on the road in Itanagar and ₹17,00,647 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,24,767 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹14.10L ex-showroom this is the third of 11 Taigun variants by price, ₹1.10L above the Highline Turbo Petrol MT. The same Highline features start at ₹1.10L less as the Highline Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Turbo Petrol with the 8-speed torque-converter auto. Stepping up to Highline Plus from here starts at ₹32,000 more and buys driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and single-pane sunroof among 7 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Turbo Petrol with the 8-speed torque-converter auto, the Highline Plus starts at ₹15.57L.
More about the Highline trim
The tech step, and a big one: 10.1in screen with wireless CarPlay, rear camera, front sensors, wireless charging, 16in alloys and the split-folding rear seat in a single move. Cruise control and paddle shifters need the automatic here.
Volkswagen Taigun Highline: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Volkswagen Taigun Highline Turbo Petrol AT?
- ₹14.10L, ex-showroom. That makes it 3rd of 11 by price, ₹1.10L above the Highline Turbo Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Volkswagen Taigun Highline Turbo Petrol AT?
- Expect ₹14,75,880 in Itanagar and ₹17,00,647 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,24,767 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Volkswagen Taigun Highline Turbo Petrol AT have?
- The Turbo Petrol, 115 PS, with the 8-speed torque-converter auto. The maker's figure for it is 19.5 km/l.
- What features does the Volkswagen Taigun Highline Turbo Petrol AT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Rear parking camera, Front parking sensors, Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, Wireless phone charger, 60:40 split rear seat and Wheel type (Alloy).
- What does the Volkswagen Taigun Highline Turbo Petrol AT miss out on?
- The Highline Plus above it adds driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), single-pane sunroof, auto headlamps, auto-folding wing mirrors and 3 more, for ₹32,000 more. That is the cheapest way into the Highline Plus though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹1.47L more.
- Is the Highline the right Taigun to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Volkswagen Taigun which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
