German automaker Volkswagen Passenger Cars India's sales jumped by 48.81% in October as the carmaker sold 3,077 units compared to 2,054 units in the same month last year. According to the company, Taigun has received over 18,000 bookings ever since its launch in the Indian market. The customer demand has led to the delivery period of the vehicle being extended to over two months from the date of booking (dependent on the variant). The Volkswagen Taigun is available in the 1.0L TSI Dynamic Line at a starting price of INR 10.49 lakh, whereas the 1.5L TSI Performance Line is available at a starting price of INR 14.99 lakh (ex-showroom), including the 4EVER Care package. Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, said, “We are excited with the immense love and wide acceptance that the Taigun has received from all our patrons. Within the first month of launching the Taigun, we witnessed close to 50% growth in our overall sales volume in Oct’21 vis-à-vis the same month last year.' 'Considering the high demand for our carlines and with the ongoing industry-wide semiconductor shortage affecting the supply situation, we are working along with our dealer partners towards prioritising deliveries to our customers. We would like to thank our customers for their trust in the brand Volkswagen, appreciate their patience and continued patronage.”
