You give Indians useless features they will jump in to buy such cars. I dont understand brands giving ADAS, like where will you use such features. We don't have the infrastructure.

Your topic and speech are not correlated-- waste of time

Loved the video ❤ Not just 4 wheelers sadly the 2 wheeler segment is suffering in the exact same way Except Royal Enfield which changes the vehicle features or colours and introducing new models into the market Honda Bigwing despite reliable lacking updates or newer models Triumph have surely aimed high and doing well too Kawasaki has been there and having its own fan base here Hoping KTM/Husqvarna, Yamaha, Suzuki, and even Hero Motocorp should definitely start to think big to change their game to offer the best and constantly update their models instead of diminishing their market share in mid and higher segment

They have Kodiaq, Tiguan and Superb

Just underestimating the Indian car buyer.. over confidence..

if they had increased the size of kushaq/tiagun like creta, they could have seen increase in sales magically ...its simple to crack indian auto market....size matters for every indian

They have done mistakes globally also ,say USA, they are late in adopting evs, see what they are doing👇 ua-cam.com/video/Fu_CvUu00ew/v-deo.htmlsi=MU1OiJdUW_hGKWxk

To use it as a daily driver, comet is a great EV. cost effective and compact. easy to drive.

There are reasons for success & failures in the Typical Family oriented buying Cars in India. Its not single person liking but approval of family members also is important. And the European & US Car makers are yet learn about all these. It's not possible unless you shed your Global Arrogance & brand leader attitude. You got be an Indian by heart to understand & Accept Indians way we are don't try an enforce or deny what Indians want in their Cars. Maruti, Hyundai, Tata, Mahindra, Toyota..... are successful because are aware of India & Indian buyers requirements, liking, etc. Which European & US makers could not understand nor have designed Car for Indian family members needs & likings.

I seriously wish mahindra ties up with skoda vw group in this way waiting periods on Mahindra cars can come down drastically considering thar armada is on the cards in near future and you know people will go crazy once it gets launched also mahindra has a great line up with them which have too much to waiting periods and this partnership will reduce the burdern for them and help them emerge as mass market producer along side Maruti This can be win win for both skoda vw and Mahindra Hope this works.

Indians don't like quality

I told VW and skoda to continue with under 10 lac budget cars and they ignored it lol😂

VW & Skoda performed as current 🔥 Not for all. It’s only car lover & anthusias.

What was this video about again?

The Problem is, after 5-6 years the cars will go in junk. Expect a dip in sales this month, unless there are huge discounts Virtus GT+ 17 lakhs & Taigun GT+ 18 lakhs on road? 😅

They have done enough cost cutting in terms of fit and finish for all their vehicles. After sales service and part are much expensive as compared to other manufacturers. They could have just localised their parts and engine components to reduce the cost. Just to give them an illusion of entitlement they haven't done any technology sharing with any of the Indian car manufacturers. Indian companies like Tata and Mahindra have worked on their design and engines in last one decade to make it affordable for the Indian mass buyers.

We indians have very poor taste in cars, creta is the best example of that.

Loved the insights and I think I've found a gem of a channel. Just a suggestion regarding the audio sir... It's quite bassy so do try to fix it in post production or getting a simple mic like KREO Kast will do wonders :) Also, loving the Jimny content on your channel :D Keep it coming!

They can and will pack up and leave if they could sell their assets in India at break even costs. No JV with Mahindra has ever worked, be it Renault, Ford or Ssangyong. In fact Mahindra kept on playing with Ford and kicked them in the nuts at the very last moment. There are no synergies between VW and Mahindra or Tata. The brand and corporate philosophies, customer base, key product attributes etc are totally different. People should stay away from buying VW products for the moment as they might end up losing big time. Imagine the pain of the people taking deliveries of their cars on the day when Ford suddenly announced their exit. Buyers be ware. Don’t plonk massive amount of money in a company that can leave at any moment.

Arrogance of skoda VW will lead to their downfall. As simple as that.

This is a car perfect for city and city traffic...Easy to park anywhere and very comfortable to drive.

This is what happens when you take customers for granted. Saying their cars are over engineered for India is nothing but Sheer arrogance. Instead of working on improving quality control they are giving such statements. I would want them to leave India now, it should make a remark globally how they failed in India in front of Indian and Korean brands.

Only with 2 products you cant succeed in India. You have to cater different segments and different customer base. In India size of thr car matters. Kushaq and Taigun lacks in road presence and featurs compared to segment best sellers.

In India 90% of the customers dont have a knowledge on cars. People are buying cars bcoz neighbours and relatives bought that car. Driving dynamics, ride quality and among turbo engine VW group has the best option. If you want to succeed in India you have to play with emotions of Indians.

Can you compare between successful brands and unsuccessful brands investment in the R&D and engineering department? All the companies that have packed up or are in the verge of it had "assembly" plants here whereas the more successful ones have some if not all the engineering as well here. This accelerates the design, validation and market infusion SIGNIFICANTLY. If Ford or VW had to do it, they will have to ask their parent company in a different country to design, validate, test, comply and then the indian entity will do the validate, test and release and this takes a SIGNIFICANT amount of time. When the market changes fast, you are left behind easily. Secondly, MOST of Indians are first time car buyers. Its an emotional buy for us. Most of the time, we evaluate the cars based on what others will perceive of us rather than what the car offers truly in sense of safety. Features like audio, interior bling, cladding costs very little when it comes to testing whereas crash testing, engine tuning takes a lot of effort, resource and money. Unfortunately, the koreans and japanese have mastered this art whereas the western world still puts in a lot of effort on the former, making cars that are built well and strong. They cater to a mature market but we are a market full of first time buyers. And this first time buyer market does NOT value safety and build as much as Bluetooth, ADAS and bling. And thats a huge difference.

VW Group only has themselves to blame for this, especially their Indian team. How can you launch a Tiguan or a Kushaq when they just look smaller compared to the Creta and Seltos? These Koreans are hiding their deficiencies in the product by sheer number of features and aesthetics. India is a very value-centric market, and if I'm spending 20 Lakhs on a car, I want the car to be a head-turner even when next to a Creta or Seltos. Ignoring the sub-12 Lakhs market is like shooting ourselves in the foot. These guys only want to cater to a certain section of the community who are enthusiasts or can afford cars beyond 15 Lakhs, but that percentage is very small compared to the entire market. Let's not even talk about after-sales services. Yes, it has improved and gotten cheaper, but it's still not enough. There's a certain elitist attitude from the dealership and the service center guys. They need to improve drastically to make a comeback in India. You can't just go around saying our car is 5-star rated in safety and catching up in every other aspect to your rivals. They'll catch up and outshine you eventually. It's just a plain stupid way of running a business

Comet EV has exceptional manoeuvrability 😍

Very informative. Kindly give us posted as I want to buy Taigun 1.5 DSG next year

wt watch is that??

Vw is to arrogant to pay attention to india market. They believe indians dont have any standard

Why do we have this stupid sub 4 tax rule I don’t understand …. Else polo could have been easily brought back to Indian market Time to ask government to reduce tax or remove the sub 4 limit

THE NEWS OF THESE COMPANIES LEAVING INDIA CREATING LOT CONFUSION,, MAY BE BECAUSE OF THESE NEWS THE SALES ARE LOW !!

Sunder deep Bhai ji video, content & words copy pasted!😮

I sold my Polo recently. Selling a high percieved value Car at much lower price than expected. Even I went to VW dealership to get it evaluated. They offered 1.25 lac for a 9 year old car. Alto sells for more than that. If they themselve cannot value their product, how can they expect the customer to do so. And on that day, I decided I will not buy VW car again. And they are wondering why they are failing in India.

Special mention My Ford Aspire(D) -nearly 1Lakh run..gives me 23-27KMPL ..service cost of about < 5k

Look at top manufacturers doing! They are shamelessly copying each other, bringing more options and selling in good volumes. VW and Skoda is crying by just offering few models. Kushaq, Taigun, Slavia, Virtus yet to get facelift. Such a pathetic decision making. Unfortunately now market has been slow down and now nobody can save them.

India is an emotional market. You need empathy to understand it if you need to service the Indian middle class. The Americans and Europeans have not understood it or some like Honda are too proud to acknowledge it. It's not just a 'product' thing as you put it. It's the overall 'experience' for a customer that includes service touch points , parts, part pricing, service behaviour etc etc. these brands do not even make an attempt to broad based channel to cater to both sales and service.

Being a volkswagen owner, i wanted to upgrade, when i saw taigun gt and compared it to a seltos or xuv 700. Size does matter.. for a family of 5 the taigun is cramped.. the engine and safety are the positives but when you spend 25 lakhs.. you expect more. I would rather buy a second hand tiguan, but the spares are an issue.. better buy an innova hycross at 35 lakh than putting 25 lakh on a taigun..

What’s your view on MG Astor?

Slavic is the best product just need to incorporate some hybrid tech in 1.0 turbo petrol engine for better fuel efficiency make this product more sensible

6 not 4 , Kodiaq and Tiguan

Because Europe and a whole is diminishing

It’s the government policy to pressurise foreign companies who don’t bend to their terms. Ford went and then they are coming back cuz govt learnt their lessons. Same with VW.

U r knowledgable guy..plz keep going

I own Virtus gt, seats r not comfortable, ac not working properly, car dashboard is at extreme height, visibility issue.

My ac is nor working properly,and dashboard is rattling too,no response from SC😡😡😡is this happening to anyone else too⁉️

1.5 Skoda Slavia is one of the best car that we can buy under 21 India , not sure why people buy other cars .. First it was ford now this

Honda Elevate is proper SUV in this segment. 220 GC one of the best in the segment and super build quality by honda with its ivtec engine gem 💎

Good, indians dont deserve their cars, we indians are poor and cant afford german cars we love cheap japnese, korean and poorly engineered indian cars. I own vw vento 2016 and skoda rapid diesel 2018, earlier i had verna 2013 and after driving vw just for one year i sold verna in 2017 and bought skoda. Now i am happily owned both cars and very much satisfied with them. Will sale vento in 2026 becoz of 10 year policy and will buy skoda slavia then

I agree with explanations. Where it hit vw/skoda is costly products with less features and worst service..I myself own Polo, Rapid and now slavia. While dynamically better than honda City but third New products fit and finish and quality of material has gone down ..huge disappoint there. Seems all the product decisions are taken in Germany and not by India management. This really made them non competitive in indian market. Though personally my 1.5 TSI slavia is gr8 driving vehicle.
