VW Polo has become the second best selling car in Europe. The first position being taken by small car Volkswagen Golf. Unfortunately, Indian lacks Golf in the VW product line up.
Golf that is a sportier version of the small car by VW has reportedly meek prospects in India following its price and it is the reason why the German car maker has refrained from bringing this car in India. Sources say that at the price of Golf, the customer can have a sedan. However, the Polo elder sibling has been spied in India recently while testing in Pune. This could be an indication that VW will be pitching the Golf in India in the completely knocked down route to bring down the price.
