The world might be SUV crazy, but there is no denying the appeal of sedans. We take a look at the role VW has played in making sedans so popular, and how they make one of the best driving sedans in India.

Hello Goosebumps!

If you look at the sales trends for the Indian market – or indeed any market in the world – SUVs are simply all the rage. Due to a combination of factors, customers are now obsessed with SUVs, and carmakers are lining up to launch more and more of them, as any sensible business concern would do. In fact, Volkswagen have themselves seen success with their SUVs – the Taigun and the Tiguan – in India, and are happy to sell more of them to Indian customers. However, before this SUV craze started about a decade ago, the benchmark vehicle of any segment would be the best sedan in that price range. Of course, globally, Volkswagen was on top of this trend too, and over the years has produced some of the finest sedans across various segments. Today, we’re going to give you a glimpse of some of the best sedans the brand has made over the decades and also reflect upon how their experience and know-how of sedans has made the Virtus one of the best-balanced sedans available today in the Indian market.
