Volkswagen T-Roc SUV India Launch In Coming Months – Report
Early this year, Skoda and Volkswagen Group India had announced its India 2.0 strategy that focuses on increasing localization levels above 90% to improve customer satisfaction and cost rationalization. Besides this, both brands will introduce new products that will start arriving by 2020. The first product to roll out will be a mid-size Skoda SUV, followed by the Volkswagen T-Cross compact SUV.
According to a latest media report, Volkswagen India will launch an imported SUV “in couple of months”. It could be the Volkswagen T-Roc that made its world debut in August, 2017. If launched, the T-Roc will be among the first beneficiaries of the government’s decision that allows car manufacturers to import up to 2,500 units without any homologation in the country. The imported right-hand-drive vehicles, however, should meet EEC (European Economic Community) or ECE (Economic Commission for Europe) or Japanese standards.
