Volkswagen Passenger Cars India has registered strong annual growth in calendar year 2022, witnessing 58 per cent growth compared to its total sales in 2021. While the carmaker has not shared the actual sales numbers, VW has attributed the growth to the massive demand for models like the Taigun, Virtus and the Tiguan.

Both cars currently account for average monthly sales 1500 to 1700 units.

Commenting on the company’s performance, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars India said, “The strong performance by Volkswagen in 2022 is a testament to the right brand and product strategy developed for our Indian customers.
