Volkswagen Jetta coming to India next year

German automaker Volkswagen is expanding their presence in the Indian market. They have now announced their plans to launch the Jetta sedan in India sometime next year.

This car would roll out from the Skoda’s Aurangabad facility. Skoda is owned by VW and is an established luxury car maker in India.

VW India said that the Jetta would be assembled using completely-knocked-down kits from Puebla, Mexico.

Andreas Prinz, managing director, Volkswagen India added that they plan to price this car competitively for the Indian market. They are going to challenge existing models in this segment of the market including Hyundai Verna, the Maruti Suzuki SX4 and the Ford Fiesta.

They are expected to launch both petrol and diesel models of Jetta in India.

VW is already scheduled to launch their first Indian-assembled car, the Passat in September this year.
