What’s more to be focused upon is that it is Skoda’s first made in India that contains 95% localization. This element would definitely play a significant role in its sale amount as the emotional aspect of it would help to gain a lot more than otherwise.Â
The model is similar to Vision IN model. But Skoda as its tagline says is very clever to attract its customers on board quite easily. The truth about automobile market is very apparent and it surely inclines towards electric vehicles at large making it very difficult for the other parts of the market to compete.
But the other fact that cannot be looked upon is that the nation will come up to be the third largest automotive market by 2026 that is scope for more manufacturing at large. The $300 billion industry would be a significant pool to play and Skoda has done its initial part. Their role will intensify competition and make it more good for customers at large.
