What the Highline Plus 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 Plus Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹16,44,330 on the road in Itanagar and ₹18,76,856 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,32,526 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 ₹15.57L ex-showroom this is the sixth of 11 Taigun variants by price, ₹85,000 above the GT Line Turbo Petrol MT. The same Highline Plus features start at ₹1.15L less as the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Turbo Petrol with the 8-speed torque-converter auto. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest GT Line actually costs ₹85,000 less than this variant and buys wheel size (17" against 16"). That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Turbo Petrol with the 8-speed torque-converter auto, the GT Line starts at ₹15.87L.

Volkswagen Taigun Highline Plus: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.

- ₹15.57L, ex-showroom. That makes it 6th of 11 by price, ₹85,000 above the GT Line Turbo Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Volkswagen Taigun Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT?
- Expect ₹16,44,330 in Itanagar and ₹18,76,856 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,32,526 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 Plus 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 Plus Turbo Petrol AT get?

- What does the Volkswagen Taigun Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT miss out on?
- The GT Line above it adds wheel size (17" against 16"), for ₹85,000 less. That is the cheapest way into the GT Line though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹30,000 more.
- Is the Highline Plus 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.
