VW UP! shall be presented in India by 2010-11. The car shall be priced at Rs 300,000 and shall declare Volkswagen’s foray into the small car segment in the country.
They had declared last year that they were considering developing their small car in India based on “New Small Family Car Concept”. It will be the cheapest car from the VW stable, which is well known for luxury cars like Phaeton and Audi.
VW shall launch their 1st plant in India by 2009 and plans to sell almost 240000 units by 2012 in the India. They may develop Polo at their Chakan plant and may export these cars to the neighboring markets.VW is the largest car manufacturer in Europe and has been planning a raid into the India’s car market since a long time.
We are not in the Tata Nano segment, but have a similar high technology small car that conforms to world safety and emission standards. UP! is currently in the concept stage and will be available in India in the next three years. The car makes perfect sense for India, which has many metros and cities that are faced with parking and pollution problems.
- Mr. Joerg Mueller (President and MD, Volkswagen India) said.
