Volkswagen Extended Warranty: Price, Coverage & Verdict
Verdict: Yes — same math as Skoda
VW already gives 4 years standard; two more years to 6 yr / 1,50,000 km costs ~1.4% of ex-showroom including GST on a Virtus. For TSI/DSG cars with their known five-figure repair modes, that's the cheapest risk transfer in the segment.
What it costs, against the car's price
| Car (variant) | Cover | Price incl. GST | ≈ % of ex-showroom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virtus (Highline 1.0 TSI AT) | 4+1 yr / 1,25,000 km | ₹11,249 | 0.8% (on ₹14.6 lakh ex) |
| Virtus (Highline 1.0 TSI AT) | 4+2 yr / 1,50,000 km | ₹20,499 | 1.4% (on ₹14.6 lakh ex) |
| Tiguan R-Line | 4+2 yr / 1,50,000 km | ₹79,499 | 1.6% (on ₹49 lakh ex) |

Why this verdict
- The 4+2 pack on a Virtus/Taigun (~₹20,500) costs about what one DSG oil service plus a coil-pack replacement would — and covers vastly more.
- 1.5 TSI DSG (GT Plus Sport) variants are the priority; the 1.0 TSI MT case is weaker but the price is small.
- The 5th-year-only option at ₹11,249 is the minimum sensible add for anyone keeping the car past the 4-yr standard cover.
- From 1 Mar 2026 the 4+1 km cap rose to 1,25,000 km — check your policy's issue date.
