VW India today announced that it will showcase three all-new products at the Auto Expo 2016, scheduled to take place in the first week of February 2016.
The highlight of VW India's stall will be the India Compact Sedan (ICS), which is reported to be called the VW Ameo when launched. The sub-4 meter sedan based on the Polo's platform will be powered by the 1.2-liter three-cylinder petrol engine and the 1.5-liter four-cylinder TDI unit.
