Europe’s largest car-maker Volkswagen will roll out the Beetle-fondly called the people’s car after its maker-on Indian roads by beginning of next December. Beetle is one of the most successful models that the German car-maker has ever produced.

The car bucked all trends and has made history, although critics had predicted a complete failure due to its peculiar styling, underpowered motor, rough ride and noisy engine. Volkswagen, which currently sells luxury sedans Passat and Jetta in Indian market, is planning to launch its small car Polo by early next year. The group has two facilities in India at Aurangabad and Chakan, which assembles cars of its three brands – Skoda, Audi and Volkswagen.
