After the new GST rates were announced recently, popular carmakers in India have been revealing the new prices or the price cut volume on their models. While Hyundai, Tata, Mahindra, Kia and Skoda have already revealed the price cuts, it is Volkswagen now that has also disclosed the maximum amount by which its cars' costs will be reduced.

CarDekho Says
During the launch of the Volkswagen Tiguan R Line, it was the consensus that the SUV was a bit more expensive than what it had to offer. With the GST price cut, the prices will go down by a considerable margin, which will make it a better value-for-money proposition. The Virtus and Taigun also get good price cuts, which might mean that you can get a higher-spec variant at a cost that you can currently get a lower variant. These price cuts are always welcome, especially before Navratri and Diwali, when the public buys new assets, including cars.
