What the Highline 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 Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹15,39,320 on the road in Itanagar and ₹17,73,768 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,34,448 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 ₹14.71L ex-showroom Delhi this is the fourth of 8 Virtus variants by price, ₹80,000 above the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol MT. The same Highline kit starts at ₹1.20L less as the Highline Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Turbo Petrol with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest Highline Plus actually costs ₹80,000 less than this variant and buys driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital) and auto climate (single zone) among 8 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Turbo Petrol with the 6-speed torque-converter auto, the Highline Plus starts at ₹15.00L.
More about the Highline trim
The big step, and most of the car arrives in it: 10.1in screen with wireless CarPlay, rear camera, cruise on both gearboxes, alloys, wireless charging, rear AC vents and the split rear seat. AC stays manual.
Volkswagen Virtus Highline: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Volkswagen Virtus Highline Turbo Petrol AT?
- ₹14.71L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 4th of 8 by price, ₹80,000 above the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Volkswagen Virtus Highline Turbo Petrol AT?
- Expect ₹15,39,320 in Itanagar and ₹17,73,768 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,34,448 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 Virtus Highline Turbo Petrol AT have?
- The Turbo Petrol, 115 PS, with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. The maker's figure for it is 18.7 km/l.
- What features does the Volkswagen Virtus Highline Turbo Petrol AT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Rear parking camera, Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, Cruise control, Wireless phone charger, 60:40 split rear seat and Wheel type (Alloy).
- What does the Volkswagen Virtus Highline Turbo Petrol AT miss out on?
- The Highline Plus above it adds driver display (7" digital against Semi-digital), auto climate (single zone), single-pane sunroof, auto headlamps and 4 more, for ₹80,000 less. That is the cheapest way into the Highline Plus though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹29,000 more.
- Is the Highline the right Virtus 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 Virtus which-variant page. The short version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
