Powertrain
1.0L TSI Petrol: 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 Topline 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 Topline Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹18,34,380 on the road in Itanagar and ₹20,93,821 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,59,441 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 ₹17.38L ex-showroom this is the ninth of 11 Taigun variants by price, ₹1.16L above the Topline Turbo Petrol MT. The same Topline features start at ₹1.16L less as the Topline Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Turbo Petrol with the 8-speed torque-converter auto. Stepping up to GT Plus Chrome from here costs ₹1.79L more and buys all-wheel disc brakes. Worth knowing that the GT Plus Chrome is not sold with the Turbo Petrol with the 8-speed torque-converter auto, so the move changes the powertrain too.
More about the Topline trim

Volkswagen Taigun Topline: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Volkswagen Taigun Topline Turbo Petrol AT?
- ₹17.38L, ex-showroom. That makes it 9th of 11 by price, ₹1.16L above the Topline Turbo Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Volkswagen Taigun Topline Turbo Petrol AT?
- Expect ₹18,34,380 in Itanagar and ₹20,93,821 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,59,441 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 Topline 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 Topline Turbo Petrol AT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Ventilated front seats, Connected car tech, Cruise control, Powered driver seat (6-way), Sunroof (Panoramic) and Leatherette upholstery.
- What does the Volkswagen Taigun Topline Turbo Petrol AT miss out on?
- The GT Plus Chrome above it adds all-wheel disc brakes, for ₹1.79L more. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the GT Plus Chrome is not sold with this one.
- Is the Topline 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.
