Through the first six months of 2022, Skoda Auto Volkswagen India’s sales have been up by a massive 200 per cent year-on-year. However, it’s worth mentioning that the base year recorded lower than usual figures due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. The VW Group has launched 10 models in India in the first half of 2022 and they plan to continue ramping up its product portfolio in the year ahead.

Commenting on the announcement, Piyush Arora, Managing Director, ŠKODA AUTO Volkswagen India Private Limited, said, “With our robust half-yearly sales, we are scripting a new success story in India. Our strong brand portfolio is performing exceptionally well across market segments, with our INDIA 2.0 cars driving significant volumes for the Group.”
He further added, “The growth in sales is supported by other important markers as well. We achieved 100% growth in production and 35% growth in exports during this period. While we are confident of maintaining this momentum, we continue to grapple with the challenges caused by the geopolitical instability, and continued semiconductor shortage which are upsetting supply chain.”
Christian Cahn von Seelen, Executive Director – Sales & Marketing, SAVWIPL, said, “In the last six months, we successfully introduced 10 models across our brands, covering a spectrum of segments. Right from the ŠKODA SLAVIA and the Volkswagen Virtus which have managed to revitalize the mid-sized sedan segment, to the ŠKODA KODIAQ Facelift and KUSHAQ Monte Carlo, our products are attracting new customers into the Group.”
He further added, “While, our high-end offerings like the new Audi Q7, Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae Roadster and Huracan Evo Fluo Capsule, Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition, 718 GTS 4.0 and 718 Cayman GT4 RS, have spiced up our luxury car portfolio. The growing demand for Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini models has helped us retain a significant share of the Indian luxury and performance car market.”
