NEW DELHI, INDIA (GaeaTimes.com)- The compact car segment in India is seeing the launch of some of the most awaited models from the leading car makers of the world. After General Motors and Hyundai, German auto giant Volkswagen has stepped in the small car segment with its sparkling offer Polo. The Volkswagen Polo India launch is hogging the attention of the car industry and media alike. The car was unveiled yesterday. The company which is known for its premium sedans like Passat and Jetta has decided to enter the expanding small car segment in India which is dominated by Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Hyundai motors.
Volkswagen Polo India launch was eagerly awaited by the car lovers. The company has stepped up the competition by deciding to set a price tag of 4.3 lakh INR. It is supposed to lock Horns with rivals like Hyundai’s i10 and Maruti Suzuki’s A Star and Zen Estilo. The booking for the Polo has already started. The car can be purchased from 40 dealers of Volkswagen in India. There are some variants of this model and as expected, the diesel version is more costly than the petrol version.
Volkswagen Polo India launch may give stiff competition to Indian carmakers. The company has adopted aggressive marketing strategy for the Polo and it wants to create a splash in the entry level segment with this model. The company does not have a large user base in India so far but this may change if Polo becomes popular with the Indian users. It plans to grab at least 10 percent of the small car market with Polo.

Maruti A-Star is a good stylish car with a sporty look, even has good mileage, when I had the test ride - I was feeling not to get down from the car - wanted to keep on driving. |
