Thoughts About The 2021 Volkswagen T-Roc Launched In India

The first-batch of Volkswagen T-Roc was sold like hot cakes in the Indian market. This is was primarily due to the attractive introductory price tag offered by the company. However, close to over a year, Volkswagen has reintroduced the SUV with a new price tag. Whether the new pricing will continue to attract buyers to the SUV remains to be seen.
