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 ₹15,69,480 on the road in Itanagar and ₹18,08,530 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,39,050 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 ₹15.00L ex-showroom Delhi this is the fifth of 8 Virtus variants by price, ₹29,000 above the Highline Turbo Petrol AT. The same Highline Plus kit starts at ₹1.09L less as the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Turbo Petrol with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. Stepping up to Topline from here starts at ₹16,000 more and buys SOS call and connected car tech among 5 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Turbo Petrol with the 6-speed torque-converter auto, the Topline starts at ₹16.35L.

The comfort step: Climatronic auto AC at last, plus the electric sunroof, 8in digital cockpit, keyless entry, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and auto-dimming mirror, all for about Rs 40,000 over Highline.
Volkswagen Virtus Highline Plus: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Volkswagen Virtus Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT?
- ₹15.00L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 5th of 8 by price, ₹29,000 above the Highline Turbo Petrol AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Volkswagen Virtus Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT?
- Expect ₹15,69,480 in Itanagar and ₹18,08,530 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,39,050 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 Plus 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 Plus Turbo Petrol AT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Sunroof (Single-pane), Auto climate (single zone), Driver display (7" digital), Auto headlamps, Rain-sensing wipers and Rear parking camera.
- What does the Volkswagen Virtus Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT miss out on?
- The Topline above it adds SOS call, connected car tech, ventilated front seats, 6-way powered driver seat and 1 more, for ₹16,000 more. That is the cheapest way into the Topline though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹1.35L more.
- Is the Highline Plus 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.
