Arvind Saxena, Managing Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars said, “India is a key market for our overall strategic growth plans and we are sure that the launch of the best products will affirm our commitment to provide the latest technologies and high value to our Indian customers. The Touareg has been a well accepted car line in India thanks to its agile performance and off-roading capabilities. The new generation makes no compromise towards this and our customers can look forward to an even more exciting experience.”
