Volkswagen Tiguan SUV Prices Hiked; Now Start At Rs. 35.17 Lakh

Volkswagen India has increased the price of its mid-size SUV, the Tiguan. The flagship mid-size SUV, which was priced at Rs. 34.70 lakh earlier, will now cost Rs. 35.17 lakh (ex-showroom) after the hike. This amounts to a rise of Rs. 47,000. 

Although Volkswagen has not officially declared the price increase, reliable sources indicate that this change is due to a 22 per cent rise in the cess on sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) recently introduced by the GST council. Presently, some of the cars in the aforementioned categories bear an extra 22 per cent cess in addition to the 28 per cent GST.

The Tiguan is available in a single, fully loaded version known as Elegance. After VW updated the Tiguan SUV for MY2023, there were no significant changes made to the model's external appearance. However, there are updates inside the SUV. The 2023 Tiguan was updated with dual-tone grey interiors.
