The Volkswagen group already has almost all its car brands – Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Skoda, and Volkswagen – in India save for SEAT. It seems that this Spanish brand will also be brought in India by VW in the next couple of years and it would be the B-segment cars like the Maruti Wagon R and the Hyundai i10 that the German major would be targeting with its Spanish hatchbacks.
The Fabia was discontinued last year and all Polo variants are also on the premium side of the hatchback market, and VW now wants to grab a bite of the ‘volumes’ section. SEAT at present manufactures four hatchbacks, two sedans, and a seven-seater MPV, and all these vehicles come in quite a few variants and sizes (three-door, five-door, coupe, etc.).
