We reported earlier that Volkswagen Group will be switching to a bigger MQB AO 37 platform from the current MQB AO 27 platform in India. This platform will be used to develop multiple products including a new 7-seater SUV for the Indian market.  What's interesting is that the next-gen VW Taigun, Virtus, Skoda Kushaq and Slavia will be developed on the new localised MQB AO 37 architecture. In fact, Skoda-Volkswagen Group is already in talks with the Indian suppliers for local development of the MQB AO 37 platform.  For people not in the known, this first-gen MQB platform underpins bigger cars like the third-gen Octavia and the VW Golf. By switching to the new bigger and wider architecture, Skoda Auto Volkswagen will be able to produce bigger C-segment models.  Before switching to the new platform, Skoda will introduce a new sub-4 meter SUV based on the existing MQB AO 27 platform. This sub-4 meter SUV will be launched in our market sometime in early next year. It is a compact platform that only accommodates smaller cars including VW Polo, T-ROC, Skoda Kamiq and others.  The Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun are also based on the same platform. Both models are smaller in size when compared to direct rivals including Maruti Grand Vitara, Honda Elevate, Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. Moreover, both models have narrow back seats that can only accommodate two adults.  It is expected that the next-gen Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun will grow in size and will offer more space in the second-row along with a bigger boot. Moreover, a 7-seater SUV will allow the Group to enter in the fast growing C-segment that is dominated by players like Tata Safari, Hyundai Alcazar, Mahindra XUV700 and others. The new MQB AO 37 architecture is also compatible with hybrid powertrains, which will allow Skoda-Volkswagen to adopt cleaner alternatives.  Source - AutoCarIndia Also See - Mahindra Thar Roxx Vs Scorpio Classic

Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited is reportedly planning to finalise its next phase of investment and expansion in the country. The company is in discussion with multiple partners for the new vehicle architecture and new models including electric vehicles.  A new media report claims that Skoda-Volkswagen is looking to localise the MQB AO 37 platform. This architecture is basically the bigger first-gen MQB Platform, which underpins the third-gen Octavia and Mk 7 Volkswagen Golf. This platform will allow the Group to develop C-segment models for the Indian market.  The Volkswagen and Skoda cars on sale in our market are based on the second-gen MQB AO 27 platform, which was first introduced in global markets in 2016. In fact, the upcoming Skoda compact SUV is also based on the same platform. This platform is not versatile enough to accommodate bigger cars and only accommodates a smaller range of global products including VW Polo, T-ROC and Skoda Kamiq.  The Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq SUVs are also based on the same MQB AO 27 platform. Both models look smaller than the competition. In fact, the width of the rear seat is limited and is only good to accommodate 2 adults.  The report reveals that the next-gen Taigun and Kushaq could be based on the MQB AO 37 platform. The larger platform will allow the German brand to create bigger and more flexible models in the mid-sized SUV. In fact, Volkswagen-Skoda is also planning to introduce a new 7-seater SUV in the Indian market. This older architecture will require heavy investment to meet the future connectivity software and ADAS tech.  The new platform is compatible with hybrid powertrains, which will allow Volkswagen Group to introduce more cleaner and greener cars. It is reported that the next-gen Skoda Slavia, Volkswagen Virtus, Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun will be based on the new MQB AO 37 platform. These new vehicles will be launched between 2027 and 2030. Source - AutoCarIndia
