Volkswagen is due to launch the new Jetta on the 17th of August. One of our avid readers Manoj Thawani, spotted one of the Jetta on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway as they were doing their final testing.

The Volkswagen brand sold 6529 vehicles in the month of July 2011, a growth of 151 percent over 2597 vehicles sold in July 2010.  

The year 2010 saw over 50 new car launches and it only gives us an idea as to what the future has in store. The year 2011 will open new avenues as car manufacturers in India battle it out to give the Indian consumer the best of the best. Hatchbacks dominated the year 2010 and it will be safe to say that the segment will continue to grow this year as well. The coming year will see a host of launches which will span across the segments right from hatchbacks, sedans, luxury sedans SUV’s and the like. Car manufacturers are putting their time, effort and money into making environment friendly, fuel efficient, safe and the most important of all, affordable cars, this year.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor has just launched the much anticipated and awaited Corolla Altis Diesel. The Corolla Altis Diesel looks all geared up to set new benchmarks in the segment with its technology and pricing. The Altis Diesel starts at a very competitive Rs. 10,95,000 and goes up to 13,75,000 lakhs (Ex-Showroom price Delhi). This is really competitive pricing that can shake the likes of the Chevrolet Cruze, Skoda Laura and the Volkswagen Jetta which are the BS IV oil-burners in the segment.

The much awaited Corolla Altis Diesel will be unveiled on the 21st of July 2010 in a function in New Delhi.

The Company is aiming to sell one million vehicles per year in the USA by 2018.

Today Volkswagen released the first sketch of its new Sedan that is slated to hit the Indian roads later this year.It has been specifically designed for India and will be manufactured in Volkswagen’s Chakan plant. It will no doubt carry the Volkswagen DNA of German Engineering tailored to the requirements of the Indian consumer. 

After last week's post of the Seat Ibiza and Jetta caught on test, we’ve now caught a 2010 Polo and a very pretty Fabia testing. Here are the shots.
