Summary
Volkswagen plans to enter India’s sub-four-metre SUV segment next year with a compact SUV, aiming to expand beyond its limited portfolio and reach the mass market. CEO Thomas Schafer said the company also wants to clearly differentiate Volkswagen from Skoda and Cupra while using shared technology. The new model could also become an export product from India.
