Volkswagen, as a brand, has carved its own niche in the Indian market since its entry not so long ago. Its models may not be selling like the ones from Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki but Volkswagen surely has a decent customer base in India. One of the Volkswagen models that have performed really well in India is the Vento sedan, which has been appreciated for its style, comfort, ride ability and features. Let’s take a look at this sedan in detail.
The exteriors of this sedan are modern, stylish and pack a punch. Volkswagen Vento’s front grille has a large brand badge in the centre, which is quite conspicuous. Highlights of Volkswagen Vento’s exteriors include dual-beam headlamps, body colored side mirrors and door handles, powerful tail lights and 15-inch alloy wheels.
Interiors of Vento are full of premium features that enhance the comfort and convenience for passengers. Rear air conditioning vents, mulch-functional console, steering mounted controls and premium upholstery comprise the excellent interiors of this car. Vento has plenty of safety features, which is typical of any car from a German automaker. Dual front airbags come as standard while other safety features include rear seat belts, anti-pinch technology and anti-lock braking system (ABS).
This sedan is available in diesel and petrol variants with both having five trim levels each. The petrol version of this car is fitted with a 1.6-litre engine that delivers an output of around 103 BHP along with peak torque of 153 Nm. Trim levels of Vento available in the market include Trendline, Comfortline (AT/MT) and Highline (AT/MT). Main features that differentiate Highline from the other two trim levels include Bluetooth connectivity to mobile phones, speed sensing auto door locks, climatronic automatic air conditioning, trunk illumination and chrome finish on trunk.
Diesel version of Volkswagen Vento is powered by a 1.5-litre TDI engine that develops 104 BHP of maximum output along with peak torque of 250 Nm. Like the petrol version, Vento diesel also comes in an automatic trim level (Highline and Comfortline). To put things in a nutshell, Vento is an excellent sedan for those who are willing to spend a little more. Not only does Vento have great style and features, it has a high class engine that ensures good ride ability.
