Expressing his delight on winning the awards, Dr. John Chacko, Volkswagen Group Chief Representative India and President and Managing Director, Volkswagen India Private Limited said, “I feel proud to receive such prestigious awards for the Group. The appreciation we have received from customers and experts for our cars so far has been overwhelming.

It shows us that our focus on producing top quality cars meets our customer needs. The awards won by wide spectrum of cars that Volkswagen Group offers ranging from the compact Volkswagen Polo to the luxury Audi Q7 is a testimony that our products are truly appreciated by our Indian customers. Winning awards for Volkswagen Motorsport just reinforces the success story Volkswagen Polo Cup witnessed in its flagship event in India last year.”

Speaking about the awards received for the Polo and Vento, Neeraj Garg, Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars Division, Volkswagen Group Sales India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Polo is one of the most beloved cars from the Volkswagen stable and we are very happy with the recognition and awards received by it so far. Winning awards for Vento is very special as the Vento is engineered in India catering to the needs of our Indian customers. It makes us proud that it has already established its place in this important automotive sector.”

According to Thomas Kuehl, Director and Board Member, Sales and Marketing, Skoda Auto India said, “It gives me immense pleasure to receive awards for the Yeti. We have seen great recognition in such a small period of time after its launch. I am confident Yeti will create a new SUV segment in the Indian auto industry.”

On receiving the awards, Michael Perschke, Head, Audi India said, “It has been an excellent year at Audi so far. These awards add to our confidence in introducing our world class cars to our customers in India. Winning awards for Quality and Sportiness only reiterates the fact that Audi ranks high among its Indian Customers. This is also reflected in our leadership in the luxury SUV segment with Audi Q5 & Audi Q7 and in the super sports car segment with Audi R8.”
