Volkswagen to launch its Premium SUV in India in late 2019. Will be launched as a CBU in Limited numbers initially. Based on the response will take further action.on localization, if demand is great.

Will take advantage of the government's rule and will bring 2500 units initially which calls for no homologation..

Will launch only in a petrol guise, in a 2.0L 7 Speed DSG Configuration. This release will be the forerunner to the more affordable SUV- T Cross which will come in 2020.

This is the right way to do business in India for the major players they don't have cars suitable for India and Indian herd mentality taxes and purchasing power doesn't make heavy investments financially viable.
GM Fiat Peugeot Mitsubishi has left Ford sold it's controlling stake to mahindra. Toyota withdrawing it's most esteemed product corolla shows they have finally understood our market. If I was to decide for vw group I won't waste money on manufacturing India specific cars when I have only 1% share and the car Indians buy can't be sold anywhere else. Citroën is coming and I'm sure they will fail as well.
In few years only 4/5 players will be left and we won't get proper cars in the mass market. Actually Indians deserve this only

2020 Volkswagen T-Roc Launch Date Announced

61481bck_allnew-volkswagen-troc-launch-date-announced_625x300_22_February_20.jpg


The much-awaited Volkswagen T-Roc finally gets a launch date, and the compact SUV will go on sale in India on March 18, 2020. The SUV made its India debut at the 2020 Auto Expo, alongside the Tiguan Allspace and the all-new Taigun compact SUV, but unlike the other two, the VW T-Roc will come to India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) vehicle and thus will be targeting limited volumes. In fact, we were the first ones to tell you this in 2019. Expected to be priced around ₹ 20 lakh (ex-showroom, India), the Volkswagen T-Roc will compete with the likes of the Jeep Compass and the upcoming Hyundai Tucson in India.



The SUV is likely to be offered in only one variant, so, in terms of features, it will come with all the bells and whistles like - LED headlamps, LED DRLs, dual-tone alloy wheels, LED taillamps and roof rails.

Volkswagen T-Roc India Spec Details Out

1uoupkj8_volkswagen-troc_625x300_06_March_20.jpg


One of the cars at the recently concluded Auto Expo in New Delhi that created the maximum buzz - especially online - was the Volkswagen T-Roc compact SUV. We have already told you a lot about it - since carandbike was the one to break the story first about it even coming to India in the first place, and then also brought you its first drive review. We then also told you about its launch - and so with the car just weeks away from launching - we have more. carandbike has learnt that the VW T-Roc will come to us in a similar spec as what Europe gets as the T-Roc Design.

Tthe Indian T-Roc will get some additional features that the European buyer does not get with the Design trim. The most prominent amongst those will be the all-round LED lighting that the car gets as standard. This means LED head and tail lamps, as well as LED daytime running lights or DRLs. In Europe, the Design trim does not get the signature bumper mounted trapezoidal DRLs either.
