David Taylor spent a few days in India and visited the Auto Expo 2014. I have compiled a brand-by-brand breakdown of what was showcased. Please note that some of these products may not be sold in South Africa as each market is different.

Despite it being one of the world’s biggest carmakers, Volkswagen doesn’t really have much of a presence in India. That didn’t stop the German car-maker from having one of the biggest and flashiest stands at the 2014 Auto Expo in Delhi. Unfortunately I missed all most of the reveals as we had to leave for the airport. That didn’t stop me from photographing the best of the stand.

Volkswagen Polo WRC

One of the big drawcards to the Volkswagen stand was the rather special World Rally Championship Polo. Driven by Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Mari Latvala, this car finished at the top of the table in last year’s championship.

Volkswagen Polo GT

Volkswagen may not have had an example of the facelifted Polo revealed a few weeks ago, but it did have a 1.2-litre three-cylinder Polo GT which looks to be an entertaining drive without breaking the bank.

Volkswagen Taigun Concept

What everyone wanted to see was an updated version of the rather good looking Volkswagen Taigun concept. As mentioned earlier, I wasn’t able to see it due to time constraints but you can check the Taigun details here. If it goes into production, it will be taking on the Renault Duster and Ford EcoSport.
