Volvo Auto India look set to transform Surat with their new showroom, Autobots, in Gujarat, unveiling their flagship model, the all-new XC90 there in the process.
Autobots is owned by Dhaval Thakker and is located on the Piplod-Dumad Road. Spread over 4,000 sq ft, this stand-alone luxury retail experience offers potential customers a modern and contemporary showroom with an inviting interior design that speaks of Volvo’s new ‘Retail Experience’ concept, with a ‘cool on the outside, warm on the inside’ feel. The fully-fledged workshop is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and special equipment specially meant for servicing Volvo cars. Personalised technicians are trained for service at the dealership.
Tom von Bonsdorff, Managing Director, Volvo Auto India said,”Gujarat is a very promising market for Volvo Cars. The launch of XC90 in Surat will help us capitalise on the ever-growing demand for luxury
cars in the region. This would not only mark our entry into Surat but also help us foray and penetrate further into the western region. With a positive YOY growth, Volvo Cars is one of the fastest growing luxury car makers in India. Volvo cars will continue to strengthen its national footprint across the country and create more value for its customers. Given the expanding luxury market in India we have launched several new models in 2015 [XC90, V40, S60 & V40 XC petrol] and continuously enhanced our service network.”
The all-new XC90 has been priced at Rs 67.6 lakh for the Momentum trim, and Rs 80.9 lakh for the top-of-the-line Inscription trim both ex-showroom, Surat, pre-octroi.
