What the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol MT 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 MT comes to ₹14,56,120 on the road in Itanagar and ₹16,77,872 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,21,752 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 ₹13.91L ex-showroom this is the third of 12 Virtus variants by price, ₹40,000 above the Highline Turbo Petrol MT. It is also the cheaper of the two ways into Highline Plus: the same features as the Highline Plus Turbo Petrol AT for ₹1.09L less. Stepping up to GT Line from here starts at ₹44,000 more and changes none of the equipment we track, and opens up no engine the Highline Plus cannot already be had with, so whatever separates them is something to see in person.
More about the Highline Plus trim
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.

- Expect ₹14,56,120 in Itanagar and ₹16,77,872 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,21,752 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.

- The features 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.
- 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 answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
