Volkswagen announced an increase in the price of the Polo. Starting January 1, 2011 this popular hatchback will witness a hike starting at 2.9 %. Commenting on this, Mr. Neeraj Garg, member of Board & Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Volkswagen Group Sales India Pvt. Ltd. said “We have been faced with constant rise in input cost over the past several months and have tried our best to absorb it.  However, in order to continue to maintain our quality standards that our customers expect from us we have had to increase the price by a small percentage.â€
Customers, who book the Polo until December 31, 2010, will be able to avail the car at the present prices. Volkswagen has already sold more than 17,000 units of the Polo and the end of the year might just get to see a rise in this number.
