At the Auto Expo you might get to see the Volkswagen ID Crozz concept, one of the best new concept cars in the electric car segment. The figures are 500 km range (NEDC) with 306 PS power from the electric motor. Volkswagen has embraced the electric vehicle concept to the fullest, and is developing all electric offering which would be on offer in the future. The first step the company has taken is to gradually phase out the diesel variations of its cars, and promoting the petrol versions, till it can go all-electric.
The Volkswagen subcompact sub-4m SUV will have to compete with the Venue, Brezza, Nexon, Ecosport and more. Renault will also venture into the subcompact space soon.
The Volkswagen T-Roc will be one of the most awaited SUVs at the Auto Expo. It is a premium SUV which would rival the Skoda Karoq and Jeep Compass, with 1.5 l TSI engine, 150 PS power and 250 Nm torque. The T-Roc would cost around 17-20 lakhs (ex-showroom), so those interested in a new, powerful SUV would be likely to be interested in this automobile.
The only diesel SUV which would be displayed and sold by Volkswagen in India would probably be the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace. This seven seater is an option of the Tiguan, which is already popular in India, but expect to see a revamped design, or a sportier R-line on the Allspace.
