Volkswagen India To Hike Prices From January 2024

Volkswagen Passenger Cars India will be increasing prices across its complete model range by up to two per cent from January 1, 2024. The automaker’s India product portfolio comprises the Volkswagen Virtus, Taigun and Tiguan models, all of which will get a price increment across the trims and variants. The company attributed the hike to rising and material costs. 

Announcing the price hike, a company spokesperson from Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, said, “Effective 1st January 2024, Volkswagen Passenger Cars India plans to hike prices by up to 2% across its model range owing to rising input and material costs. While the brand continues to absorb most of the input cost increase, however, some impact will have to be passed on to the end consumers.”
