Volkswagen to reposition Skoda brand in India


Good news for Skoda lovers. Volkswagen has decided to reposition Skoda brand; that is Skoda will be positioned below the Volkswagen. This can happen only if Skoda car prices are reduced which is good news. Volkswagen owns Skoda and Audi and all over the world the parent VW sits between Skoda and Audi in terms of brand value. Here in India Skoda and Volkswagen have similar brand value which is seriously hampering Volkswagen’s brand image.

Skoda with its first vehicle in India ‘Octavia’ has built a reputation of a luxury car maker. The launch of Superb and Fabia which are best in terms of luxury in their respective class has put Skoda brand at the top of the chart. The Larua took off from where Octavia left. Having a good brand value is an asset to the company. But here the parent company Volkswagen thinks otherwise because Skoda is seriously denting Volkswagen’s image in India.

Volkswagen known to make quality cars is struggling to build the brand. Rivals such as Hyundai and Ford are delivering products which are better value for money cars. Volkswagen cars are no doubt the best in their class but somehow are not able to sell in numbers the company expect.  With reducing Skoda car prices Volkswagen can position itself clearly where it deserves to be, but in India it will take some time, may be another 2 to 3 years.

More powerful VW Polo diesel by 2014

     Volkswagen has confirmed that it will launch the Polo with a more powerful diesel engine in India by 2014. The new 1.5L diesel engine pumps out 95 Ps of power which is 23 Ps more than the current 1.2L engine.

     The 1.5L diesel has been developed with the same structure of the current 1.6L 4 cylinder diesel doing duty in Vento. As the 1.5L engine will be a four cylinder one it will be quieter than the current 1.2L three pot one.

     We feel just by putting a powerful eninge inot the Polo will work in India. The Polo, no doubt is a good car, but lacks some factors. The seating is low which makes difficult to gain entry and out, a strong factor cared by a conservative Indian customer. The interior space too is not in the league of  the B Segment car, so why would anybody buy a Polo just for driving pleasure. The Swift is a classic example of successful car in India. It has good space, good engine, good design and priced competitively. VW should take a leaf out of Swift success story.

     Having seen VW’s track record of making good cars, we fell the next generation Polo will be here by 2014 having a 1.5L diesel engine. Of course expect VW to work on the interior space in the new Polo.

Volkswagen Up spied in India, could be for Auto Expo 2012


     Volkswagen Up which was unveiled at Frankfurt Motor Show this year has been spotted in Delhi, mounted on a truck. Mr Sandeep Singh has posted these images on NDTV’s Car And Bike facebook page. We guess the car has been imported from Europe for the coming Auto Expo 2012.

     The Up is the smallest car in Volkswagen’s portfolio which the company plans to launch in India soon, ofcourse in 5 door version unlike the 3 door one seen in the picture. Price of the Up is expected to start from Rs. 3.5 lakh. The Up unveiled at Frankfurt Motor Show had a 1 litre petrol engine with 75 Ps of power and 23 Kmpl of fuel efficiency. A diesel option, it is still a secret.

Volkswagen Vento facelift spied


     It is barely an year old and the Volkswagen has thought to give a facelift to its sedan Vento. Our friends at Motorbeam snapped a spy picture of Vento during its test runs. The Vento facelift comes into the picture soon after Honda City facelift was spied near New Delhi.  

     The C segment in Indian market is becoming increasingly competitive with the launch of Fluidic Verna, All new Ford Fiesta and the latest Nissan Sunny. Majority of Indians who had bought a hatchback 3-4 years back are planning to upgrade to a sedan which is making the C segment most lucrative after the hatchback.

     To remind you, after the launch of Vento within couple of months, the market leader Honda City started to lose its dominance and we see Honda gearing up to launch a City facelift very soon. Also the new entrants in the segment are offering better value for money making the existing players to cut prices and give a facelift to make their cars look fresh amongst the competition.

     In the spy picture of Vento, smoked headlamp is clearly visible. The current Vento headlamps come with cristal clear surrounds. Also seen in the picture is the front bumper and grill covered with white camouflage material, which means there will some changes in the front bumper and grill as well. We guess after the launch of Jetta which looks similar to the Vento, Volkswagen is trying give a little different look to Vento to distinguish it from its bigger brother. Apart from changes in the front, we can expect some changes in the rear and interiors as well. We have remote information about the rear and interior changes. Keep tuned, we will post more deatials as soon as we come across…
