Hello to all our friends from Kochi to Trivandrum!
You have decided on a Volkswagen. That means you want world-class safety, solid German engineering, and great driving dynamics. Finding the best deal is also very important. This is especially true with the year-end festive season incentives!
Volkswagen’s Kerala network is streamlined. Therefore, prices between Kochi and Trivandrum are not wildly different. You need a better strategy. Finding the best benefit requires knowing where the biggest benefits lie.
Here is your guide to maximizing your savings on your new Volkswagen in Kerala this December:
1. The Big-Ticket Discounts: Which Model to Target?
Dealers want to clear inventory as the year ends. This means prime time for cash benefits and inventory discounts. Look for special deals on any remaining 2025 VIN stock.
The Discount Focus for Kerala Buyers:
- Volkswagen Tiguan: This model, particularly the fully-loaded R-Line, receives the most significant outright cash discounts—historically up to ₹2 Lakhs in regional festive schemes. If you are in the market for a high-end German SUV, this is the time to negotiate for a massive cash benefit.
- Volkswagen Taigun & Virtus (1.0L TSI): These models have had strong festive benefits, which typically combine a smaller cash discount with a larger Exchange/Loyalty Bonus (up to ₹80,000 recently). The biggest discounts are generally available on the mid-to-top 1.0L variants, like the Taigun Highline or Virtus Highline AT.
- 1.5L TSI Variants: Discounts on the high-performance 1.5L TSI GT/GT Plus variants are usually lower, focusing more on exchange or loyalty benefits rather than cash discounts.
2. The Kochi-Trivandrum Strategy for the Best Deal
The Ex-Showroom price for any given Volkswagen model is set for all of Kerala. The final On-Road Price only varies slightly due to RTO and insurance calculations. Your best strategy is to pit the dealerships against each other:
- Get the Baseline (Kochi): Contact your preferred Volkswagen dealer in Kochi (e.g., EVM Volkswagen in Maradu or Kalamassery) and get a detailed, written quote (pro-forma invoice) for your exact variant, color, and model year. Ensure the quote clearly details all official discounts (Cash, Exchange, Loyalty, Corporate).
- Negotiate Value-Adds (Trivandrum): Use the Kochi quote as leverage with the dealer in Trivandrum (or vice versa). Since they can’t drastically cut the core price, ask them to beat the offer by adding high-value, desirable accessories or services:
- High-Value Accessories: Demand a complimentary ceramic coating, a dashcam, or an upgrade to the extended warranty package.
- Better Exchange Rate: This is often the dealer’s biggest margin—ask for a higher valuation on your old car.
Pro-Tip for Professionals: Always inquire about Corporate Discounts. Volkswagen has tie-ups with many major IT and corporate firms in Kerala, and this discount is often stackable with other benefits, netting you a few extra tens of thousands in savings!
3. Volkswagen On-Road Price Snapshot (Kochi)
- Volkswagen Taigun (1.0 Comfortline MT): Starts ₹14.26 Lakh
- Volkswagen Virtus (1.0 Comfortline MT): Starts ₹13.87 Lakh
- Volkswagen Tiguan (R-Line): Starts ₹58.53 Lakh
(Note: These are approximate on-road prices for Kochi and serve as a baseline. The final negotiated price after applying discounts will be lower.)
