</p><p>&nbsp; German giant <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Volkswagen">Volkswagen</a></u> seems to be struggling in the Indian market since the beginning in premium segment upwards Rs 1.5 million. The next generation Jetta which has not even officially be launched has already been taken off the Indian market and current version will be sold until stocks last. The company reasoned that new (8th) generation model costs higher against the current <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Volkswagen/Jetta">Jetta</a></u> which would mean much higher retail price tag.<br><br>&nbsp; Two facts very quite evident no matter what, one is the Indian market is mainly manipulated by price and second is the SUVish presence. The acute inclination towards the latter has been killing the sedan segment in that price range. And VW's Jetta has never been doing well even comparing its immediate rivals. When one can get sedan like comfort, luxury and presence of SUV to top the list then this just seals the deal for buyer against sedans. It seems the apt time to enter the SUV market be it compact SUV or gigantic tanks which have been clicking big numbers.</p><p>&nbsp; To support the company's decision to scrap the plan to launch new Jetta, one can look at the sales number which is not impressive. Only 1,940 units of Jetta were being sold last year while its immediate rival <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Toyota">Toyota</a></u> <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Toyota/Corolla_Altis">Corolla Altis</a></u> has sold over 6,500 units and its own subsidiary <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Brand/Skoda">Skoda</a></u> <u><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://carhunt.in/Skoda/Octavia">Octavia</a></u> managed over 2,600 units during same time frame.</p><p></p>
