A Quick Note from Us: These figures are estimates. The final price depends on the accessories you choose, the insurance premium on the day of purchase, and any running offers. Rest assured, we at EVM Volkswagen will provide you with a line-by-line quote that leaves no room for confusion.
Decoding the On-Road Price: Where Does Your Money Go?
The Virtus on-road price isn’t just the sticker price; it’s a sum of mandated taxes and essential services. As a professional, we know you appreciate a clear breakdown:
1. Ex-Showroom Price (The Base)
This is the price set by Volkswagen India. It includes the manufacturing cost, our dealership margin, and the GST. This figure is the foundation upon which all other charges are calculated.
2. RTO Charges: The Kerala Government Share
This is where the term Virtus price in Kerala truly comes into play. The Road Tax and Registration charges (collected by the Regional Transport Office) are mandatory and form a significant part of the cost.
Crucially, in Kerala, the Road Tax is calculated on a slab basis tied to the Ex-Showroom price. Since the Virtus is a premium sedan, most variants fall into the higher tax slabs:
- Vehicles between ₹10 Lakh and ₹15 Lakh: 13 % of Ex-Showroom Price
- Vehicles between ₹15 Lakh and ₹20 Lakh: 16% of Ex-Showroom Price
- Vehicles above ₹20 Lakh: 21% of Ex-Showroom Price
3. Comprehensive Motor Insurance
While you can choose your insurer, a comprehensive policy is non-negotiable for your peace of mind and is legally mandatory. The premium covers both own-damage and third-party liabilities.
4. TCS (Tax Collected at Source)
If your car’s Ex-Showroom price is over ₹10 Lakh (which most Virtus variants are), the dealer must collect 1% of the ex-showroom price as Tax Collected at Source. You can claim this back when filing your income tax returns.
5. Other Mandatory & Optional Charges
These include Fastag, Hypothecation Charges (if taking a loan), Road Safety Cess, and any optional accessories/packages you choose for customization.
Final Thoughts from EVM Volkswagen
The Volkswagen Virtus is more than just a car; it’s a statement of style, safety (it’s a 5-star safety champion!), and German engineering excellence.
