Volkswagen eyeing entry-level EV segment with SUV
The entry-level passenger electric vehicle segment in India is gaining momentum as two key players dominate this space — Tata and MG. Tata’s all-electric Tiago was the most affordable offering in this space, however, the MG Comet managed to undercut the Tiago. Moving to a segment higher, the Tata Nexon leads the segment and now, Volkswagen is looking at this space as well.
As per a report by Reuters, the VW group is planning to launch an entry-level electric SUV in India. “We are actively working on an entry-level EV. We are evaluating which VW Group platform can be best adapted to build a compact electric SUV in India,” said Piyush Arora, CEO of Skoda Auto Volkswagen India, to Reuters.
