A £10k electric car with a 100-mile range would surely be a sales success

A Volkswagen dealer has quoted a price range of Rs 12 lakh to Rs 17 lakh to a potential VW Taigun buyer. Taigun is supposed to be the make-or-break product for the German carmaker in India. Based on the MQB A0 IN platform, which is specifically designed for our market, Taigun is set to give tough competition to its competitors in the mid-size SUV segment. The high levels of localization have ensured competitive pricing as well as low maintenance, service and repair costs. This was the biggest issue with VW products in the past. Customer service experience is something VW is taking seriously. They don’t want to keep any stone unturned in establishing the Volkswagen brand in our market for a long time. But what will be the price range of the VW Taigun once it launches? Here is some news on that.

According to a member of the VW Taigun India Owners Facebook group, he received a call from the Volkswagen dealership to give information about the price range of the upcoming VW Taigun. It is likely to launch sometime in September. The member wrote on the group’s page that he was quoted an expected price range between Rs 12 lakh and Rs 17 lakh, ex-showroom. He also mentioned that the actual prices will be announced on September 23. The member also claims that this information is reliable since he got the call from the Senior Management team. They also explained to him the variants on offer (1.0 and 1.5-litre TSI). If these stats turn out to be true, then it will make the starting price of the Taigun higher than the competition by quite some margin. Now, we know that VW products always come at a premium, but this might stretch it too far.
