Volkswagen outlined its product rollout strategy for the next few years during the firm's recent annual meetingin Wolfsburg, Germany…

It looks like the dark cloud of Dieselgate is finally dissipating as Volkswagen announced healthy sales and profits. The brand has taken a battering since the saga broke back in September 2015, but some restructuring and cancellation of non-mainstream products such as Golf R400 has seen the German multinational weather the storm. At the 2017 annual meeting, Volkswagen announced production dates for its new vehicles. This company roadmap highlights key vehicles for both our local and international markets.

The big one is the new Volkswagen Polo. Production starts in June 2017 and we estimate that this car will be on sale in South Africa before the end of the year.The T-Roc compact family car/crossover starts production in August 2017.The China-only PhideonPlug-In Hybrid starts production in August 2017.A South America-only Virtus (Polo sedan) will be assembled from November 2017.The next-generation Touareg production starts in November 2017.The next-generation Jetta production starts at the end of 2017.

Volkswagen is backing electric power for the future and the claim is that 'VW wants to be the global leader in electromobility by 2025 and sell 1 million cars per year'. SUV models form a massive part of the product strategy and there'll be 19 different SUVs to choose from by 2020.
