Despite the prevailing economic slowdown, Volkswagen sees great potential in the Indian car market and plans to bring a new car ‘Polo’ in the country. The car would be launched in both sedan and hatchback version by 2010. It was first unveiled at the 2008 Auto Expo and speculated to launch in India in 2009. It seems that it will borrow styling cues from the Scirocco concept enhanced with better design and performance. It is likely to come in the both 1.2 petrol and 1.6 diesel version.
The company has big plans for the Indian car market. Recently, Volkswagen inaugurated a new plant in Pune that has the capacity to roll out 110,000 vehicles per year. This plant will initiate it production work by building the compact car, the Skoda Fabia. Eventually, it will also be utilized to manufacture the Polo hatchback.
Currently, the group is present in India through its Skoda, Audi, and Volkswagen brands and their eight models of cars that are doing good business in the country. The company is optimistic with the Indian market and further expanding its network as well as product portfolio in the country. The famous people’s Beetle car fondly called as ‘Bug’ by many will also make its entry in India very soon.
When is the Volkswagen Polo launching? Does anyone know the exact month of the car launch? Will it launch this year or will take another one year to come to India?
I don’t think that Volkswagen has any plans to roll out the car in 2009. The Polo will definitely take another 10 to 12 months to come to India. I have heard that the car manufacturer is making some significant changes in the car to make it a perfect car for Indian cities. and this will obviously take more time.
I saw the pictures of Volkswagen Polo some where in the 2008 Feb. It was showcased at the Auto Expo. The car looks good and its international styling is great.
