Powertrain
A keen three-cylinder turbo that suits town and highway alike, and the only route to a manual. The new 8-speed automatic is the relaxed pick and costs you very little economy against the manual

What the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹16,31,730 on the road in Itanagar and ₹18,62,472 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,30,742 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 ₹15.45L ex-showroom Delhi this is the sixth of 10 Taigun variants by price, ₹85,000 above the GT Line Turbo Petrol MT. The same Highline Plus kit starts 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 ₹15.75L.

Volkswagen Taigun Highline Plus: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Volkswagen Taigun Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT?
- ₹15.45L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 6th of 10 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 ₹16,31,730 in Itanagar and ₹18,62,472 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,30,742 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker 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?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Sunroof (Single-pane), Driver display (7" digital), Auto headlamps, Rain-sensing wipers, Rear parking camera and Auto-folding wing mirrors.
- 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 version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
