About Volkswagen
German Engineering, Made in India
Volkswagen made its official entry into India in 2007 and has since become the benchmark for build quality and driving dynamics in the mass market. The brand operates a full-scale manufacturing facility in
Chakan, Pune, which serves as a global export hub, sending Indian-made Volkswagen cars to over 30 countries. This facility is the heart of the "India 2.0" project, which birthed the highly successful MQB-A0-IN platform.
Safety is Standard
Volkswagen holds a unique distinction in the Indian automotive market: it offers the
"Safest Portfolio" in the country. Both its volume drivers, the Virtus and the Taigun, have achieved a full
5-Star Global NCAP safety rating for both adult and child protection, setting a new standard for family safety in India.
The 2026 Product Offensive
Volkswagen’s lineup caters to enthusiasts and families who value the "Fun to Drive" DNA:
- Virtus: India’s best-selling premium mid-size sedan. It revived the sedan segment with its "GT" performance line, offering a 1.5L TSI engine with cylinder deactivation technology.
- Taigun: A dynamic compact SUV known for its handling and solid build. The 2026 model year introduces the "GT Edge" limited collections with matte paint finishes.
- Tayron: The recently introduced flagship SUV (replacing the Tiguan AllSpace), offering 7-seat practicality with premium German luxury.
- Tera (Upcoming): Volkswagen is preparing to enter the fiercely competitive sub-4 meter SUV segment with a new model (codenamed Tera), designed to bring German engineering to a sub-₹10 Lakh price point.
Future Mobility
While turbo-petrol engines remain its core strength, Volkswagen is actively testing its electric future in India. The
ID.4, the brand’s global best-selling electric SUV, is slated for launch in 2026, marking the start of Volkswagen's electrification journey in the subcontinent.
