V3Cars recently visited Volkswagen’s Pune plant and caught up with the company’s Brand Director, Ashish Gupta, to understand VW’s plans for the Indian market. Ashish specified that the carmaker doesn’t plan to introduce any brand new locally-manufactured models in the near future, but we can expect regular updates to the existing cars. While VW doesn’t have a fixed timeline for introduction of updates or revisions to its existing cars, the carmaker plans to offer some changes every 6 months or so to keep its made-in-India cars like the Taigun and Virtus fresh.

Volkswagen is known to offer long life cycles to its models; cars like the Polo and Vento had an extended stay in the Indian market where manufacturers usually offer a full model change to their cars every 5-6 years.

Ashish clearly told V3Cars that Volkswagen had a 7 year (4+3) lifecycle planned for its cars in the past, where a facelift would hit the market in 4 years followed by a full model change in 7. Considering the fact that India is a fast-paced market, the carmaker is now looking at reducing the lifecycle to 6 (3+3) years.

If Volkswagen has to shift to a 6 (3+3) year lifecycle of its models, then the Taigun will receive a facelift in 2024-25 as it was launched in India in 2021-22. Likewise, the Virtus, which was launched in 2022-23, should get its mid-life update in 2025-26.
