Volkswagen Virtus Price Cut – Good News for Buyers
While most variants have seen a hike, Volkswagen has reduced prices on two specific versions, making them slightly more affordable for buyers.

- Topline Chrome 1.0 AT – price reduced by Rs. 3,155
These are the only Virtus variants to receive a price cut, and the discounts are likely valid for a limited period, so interested buyers should act quickly.
Two Volkswagen Virtus Variants Discontinued
Along with the price revision, Volkswagen has also discontinued two manual transmission variants of the Virtus: With these variants removed, the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine is now only available with the DSG automatic gearbox, which may disappoint buyers looking for a manual performance sedan.
- GT Plus Chrome 1.5 MT
- GT Plus Sport 1.5 MT
Updated Volkswagen Virtus Price Range in India
After the latest changes, the Volkswagen Virtus price in India now starts at Rs. 10.50 lakh and goes up to Rs. 19 lakh (ex-showroom). Despite the increase, the Virtus continues to be a strong option in the midsize sedan segment thanks to its solid build quality, turbo engines, and premium driving experience.
In some positive news, Volkswagen has teased the Tayron SUV for the Indian market. The Volkswagen Tayron is expected to be a new 7-seater SUV, which will sit above the Taigun and target buyers looking for a spacious and premium family SUV.
