Though the question still remains, will we see a Volkswagen branded sub-4 meter SUV? Zelmer responded by saying, “As you all know, we haven’t fully teamed up on the sub-4 meter, but we’re working on that too. It’s not a final ‘no’, But it’s something that we need to do. Work. We need to see the reception, the possibilities and the opportunities for the car. It’s a decision that hasn’t been made final yet, but it certainly hasn’t been made. We are not going to get into it. So this could be another opportunity to move forward in India.”
