It’s a shame if VW exits India, I can’t really think of any other brand that gives such great overall products at these price points.

If a car manufacturer can't touch the pulse of a market in even two decades sorry to say they just do not want to change. Their certain highheadedness and rigid attitude toward change leave them in cold water today. Hyundai also had disasters with Sonata, Getz and Santa Fe, but they were quick to realise and catch the pulse of the Indian market. Unfortunately, none of the European or American manufacturers managed to do

Atharv, Skoda CEO never said they are leaving India. They said their cars are over-engineered for the Indian market. I respect your content but please don't spread false news. PS: VW/Skoda group wouldn't be testing mules of Skoda sub 4m SUV if they wanted to leave. And also, their sales have stabilised now. They just need more sales to sustain business model. Hence, they are looking for a strategic partner for a possible joint venture in India. They are not leaving India that easily. They can't abandon a billion dollar investment that they made 2-3 years ago under 2.0 strategy.

@@torqued6000 There's always a risk, yes. I got 2 VW's with me too. And definitely VW group (skoda too) did make few blunders in 1.0 strategy and in 2.0 strategy too. Few of which are, 1) Not making taigun's skin big enough to match the size of creta or other rivals making it look small, which an average uncle in Indian market look for. 2) Poor pre-launch testing of the products, poor interior quality (cost-cutting) and EPC error issues, 3) Not giving some additional features to match the feature list of the rivals (which again, an avg uncle in Indian market prefers), 4) Not having strict moderation & SOPs for ASCs to ensure quality experience at Service centers. 5) Wrong communication in their marketing strategy. Mahindra, I feel is like a part of the desi cartel who wants international brands who have little know how of Indian market to leave so that they have some duopoly here with Tata and eat up the Indian market. It's scary too but I hope VW management is cautious enough to know they have already pushed away other brands away under false pretence of partnership and backing out at the last moment like they did with Ford and Ssanyong. Biggest mistake of Ford was they completely were relying on Mahindra's partnership. I hope VW group has a backup strategy too, if that doesn't go through. I think sales fluctuation keeps on happening and also there is a slowdown of sales lately on the average for most brands but still compared to 1.0 times, the average sales have been better for VW group in India (considering the limited outlets across India as compared to Korean rivals). Also, every product goes through a life cycle in a market. The peak was last year. Now it's time for a refresh and facelifts. Giving discounts and cosmetic changes won't contribute to sales. Again, VW management in my opinion needs to take care of the following to ensure better market perception and sales: 1) Interior perceived quality. 1.0 cars had that solid interior quality. They should bring back that. Choose the right local vendors. 2) Make their after sales service experience even better and have control and strict SOPs for independent dealers and ASCs who are the main reason for tarnishing the brand's image. 3) Bring facelifts of Taigun and Virtus (as Ashish Gupta of VW spoke in an interview last month), and fix the shortcomings by giving additional features which are most sought for by Indian families and uncles. 4) Work on the size of the skin of Taigun and make it more butch and aggressive. They can even bring Tharu launched in Chinese market which is slightly bigger and better. They already have a car. They don't even need to re-engineer. 5. Focus on right communication through marketing channels. Work on removing this perception of the avg. Indian that VW's are too costly to maintain and they are unreliable af. 6. In the quest of achieving Sales targets, don't compromise on the German solid feel and mechanical parts for cost cutting purposes. VW's are known for driving pleasure, solid built, it's the brand's USP, I hope they don't compromise on it. Otherwise they will lose the only USP they have at the moment. Being a VW owner of a TSI and TDI too, I too want them to make smarter choices and beware of these Indian cartels to try to push them away. But I believe they aren't here to leave that easily. Management is restless and anxious making such statements but that's a good sign that they are concerned and taking actions rather than being complacent about it. :)

Indian customers only look for features these days at low prices and also how big their car looks. They are least bothered about build quality, engine performance and safety. Little do they know that actual cost in a vehicle goes into it's r&d on engine and build material. Features are all about software. The sensors used for these features are very cheap. Skoda's maintenance is also not that high. Kia and hyundai asks for service at every 10k while skoda and vw have 15k mark for their service. So the service cost comes to be almost similar. And not to talk about customer service. Skoda and vw are way ahead in that aspect as well.

Highlighting some major issues for their failure and what should help them. 1. We are still in the 2nd year since they hsve announced service packages but what happens post that nobody knows, will the parts and service cost empty our wallets? 2. They say its over engineered for India, really? - AC cooling doesnt work - Squeaking sounds from the breaks and the interiors - Unreliable gearbox and turbo engines which heats up in hot climates - Engine light comming on - Expensive engine oil top up after every 3000 kms After paying all that premium for a over engineered car? lol 3. No road side mechanics are experienced enough to carry out tasks on such a well engineered car if someone chooses to repair it outside the SVC 4. All the of the above results in poor or no resale value when you want to eventually sell it. A smart tieup should help them solve all these worries. For example: Its really great to see brands like Triumph tying up with Bajaj, look at their Triumph street 400, it just oozes TRIUMPH with top notch quality and no mention of bajaj on the bike.. Its selling like hot cakes with that competitive pricing.

VW Group is finding a hard time to thrive in India. They might exit India slowly with the discontinuation of Volkswagen initially, followed by Škoda, and Audi _(because of VW Group's EVs that are flopped, although Audi is bettering in its e-Tron EVs than any German EVs, but EV infrastructure in India isn't well established and Audi promises to be EV company by 2030)._ VW Group made its debut with Škoda as the brand in 2001, followed by Audi in 2007, and VW in 2010 _(although it started in 2007 only with certain vehicles namely VW Passat, VW Phaeton, and VW Touareg imported as either CBU or CKD)._ Škoda is a Slavic brand from Czechia _(formerly Czech Republic)_ and it's called "German" because of it's association with VW Group in terms of its engineering, performance, design, comfort, safety, maintenances, and service -- this applies to other VW Group brands namely Porsche and Audi from Germany, SEAT from Spain, Bentley from UK, Lamborghini from Italy, and Bentley from France. Škoda is associated with premium car segments, and VW is associated with "economy" car segments, and VW is known for "People's car." However, VW is overthrown by People's car makers of India namely Maruti Suzuki, Tata, Mahindra, and that by Korean brand namely Hyundai. It's true and appreciable about VW, Skoda, and Audi as they are known for their overengineered vehicles which makes them very tough when it comes to accidental crashes, collision resistance, and better drive longevity, yet they will cease to exist in India because it comes with a huge cost to maintain such cars and get them repaired, and bring back to its original state, keeping each and every minute details in mind. I'm not bringing GM, Jeep, Peugeot, and Fiat into the picture because their cars have always been super unreliable and not long lasting than many car makers -- Opel vehicles made globally as of early 2000s are reliable and overengineered like VW, Audi, and Porsche and Opel is a German brand despite being under GM till 2017, under Groupé PSA in 2017 - 2021, and Stellantis since 2021. Opel exited India because of two reasons -- GM, and their nature of being Overengineered like VW Group.

Their mistake only. Thinking of achieving sales target only on driver enthusiastic cars is a blunder. They have totally ignored family oriented mindset of Indian people firstly as in Polo rear seating is pathetic and in SUV segment they dont have atleast 5 seater option below 15 lakh segment.

Why does Skoda and VW act separate ? They belong to the same mother company and have same vehicles with mostly difference only in their looks. Doing this is costly right from manufacturing, branding and marketing. Instead cant they focus on one brand and sell more ??

It's foolish for their CEO to claim it's an over Engineered Car. I would say it's an overhyped Car from Ghamandi Germans as owners have faced lot many problems : - EPC failure or engine shuts off. - Poor AC performance in our Torid Summers often shuts off at traffic jam, especially 1.0 TSI. - Screeching noise from the brakes - Rattling sounds from Dash & Doors - Shagging roofline - Poor efficiency in City traffic conditions. - many more

As per my analysis, Škoda has exponentially increased their vehicle prices as a part of their project 2.0 , for example, old Rapid vehicle came around 10 lakh for petrol automatic mid-variant in 2021, now if we see the base variant of slavia it self is costing around 14 lakhs on road and the top variant is around 21 lakhs which is sky high compared to previous version prices. We had got a diesel engine high end Rapid car for 15 lakh in 2020, even the build quality of those cars at that time was way too high when compared to present Kushaq & Slavia. People are not sheeps to follow these corporate companies strategies blindly and buy those cars, we’re getting much better cars in even very low prices when compared to these Škoda cars and even we’re getting 7 seaters at the price of these cars. I’m pretty sure that ŠKoda & VW would be exiting INDIA if they won’t decrease their prices up to their previous version vehicles.

@@Vishal-ye4ds tere jaise aadmi nahi hu mein, pls read my entire comment and understand what I Wrote there, by the way I own an XUV 300 diesel vehicle that too I purchased it at 12 lakh onroad price. It was way better deal than what Skoda Kushaq is offering at 18 Lakh that too for a Petrol Engine. These multinational companies are looting our Indians Hard-earned money and simply offering nothing. Skoda also sold vehicles under 10 Lakh rupees in 2021, but to just loot our money they have increased their vehicle prices. I talked just about the prices but not about their engines. The same strategy is being followed by the Korean cousins Hyundai and KIA.

VW No 1 Toyota No 2 and then all chotta mota brands. Read this In 2023, the Volkswagen Group reported a sales revenue of €322.3 billion, a 15.5% increase from the previous year. Their operating profit was €22.6 billion, with an operating return on sales of 7.0% . Toyota, on the other hand, reported sales revenue of ¥37.15 trillion (approximately €252.7 billion) and an operating profit of ¥3 trillion (approximately €20.4 billion) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 .

First thing who are you to interpret they are leaving ? Second, overengineered products whose AC isn't upto the mark. Have you tested AC performance of these 2.0 cars in May- June summers in Delhi/NCR ? Then first lot had problems related to EPC issues. That has given them bad reputation. It made us feel like that they too testing on us by launching India Specific products like Tata or Mahindra. Such issues never appeared in their imported cars. Localisation doesn't means you will provide inferior quality. When market can be captured by providing MPFI engines then why need to provide GDI engines ? Till 1.5 Ltr NA engines can work there is no need of Turbo. NA engines are easier to maintain with least maintenance. Added components of Turbo means more complex engine and more maintenance Add to it they were mostly after Sedans inspite knowing that segment is almost dead now. They did investment and they can't expect more sales with the sort of service one gets in their ASC's. At times if something happens then cost of service is almost close to a price where one can purchase a new car. Is it justified ? For service too norms should be there as to what part can cost how much based on pricing of the car at which it was handed over to customer when new. Nowadays in name of service most companies are robbing customers. I purchased a Samsung phone of approx 30 K. If I will go to get it's display only changed then it will cost me approx 8-10 K. Will that cost be justified ? Is it a TV screen to cost that much ? Many other instances where people can't afford services but can purchase a new product instead. Why they never tried bringing a product like Baleno, Brezza or Wagon R with latest features and good build quality ? Neither they tried compact sedan segment nor a coupe like Arkana. Now they will bring under 4 m SUV but it too will come with 1 Ltr turbo only. No hybrid nor EV even as an option They can give 1.2 NA engine with full hybrid setup but they won't try it. Only petrol models can't bring volume sales. Even new Nexon doesn't has CNG so sales slumped. In cities people want mileage which turbo engines unable to provide. Check sales data as to how many are purchasing turbo engines cars still. I don't think that makes even 5% of entire sales. What VW management thinks won't matter. Products should be designed as per requirement of customers in that market. Diesel option they don't have already but it was possible for them to procure diesel engines from Mahindra till it's providing them sales. Mahindra doesn't sells petrol engines much still. Check their diesel sales

Skoda needs to crispy define their variants. How can you keep 999cc and 1500cc as two variants in petrol like slavia,virtus.Indians recall using 999cc engines in lowest level hatchbacks like maruti alto.Atop you are keeping 999cc at 11 lakh ?.Sounds crazy.Then what about 1500cc cars ??.Do you know what is 17 lakh INR could mean to an Indian.See cost of ciaz,Verna or city and they are not above 12 lakh in base model.Clearly anybody can say 999cc models,high cost of 1499cc stands as root cause of Skoda failure.
