The top-of-the-line Volkswagen Vento Highline Plus has been launched in India at Rs 10.84 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai). The new top-end variant gets additional features and cosmetic upgrades over and above the Highline trim.
We had spotted this new Vento trim in December last year in Pune. The Highline Plus trim is available only with a manual 1.6 petrol powertrain. But if it's automatic you want, then your only option is to go for the 1.2-litre engine powered Highline plus trim. Happily enough for us, the diesel Vento can be availed of in the Highline Plus trim with both manual and automatic gearboxes. Additional features in the Highline Plus include – full LED headlamps, LED daytime running lights, a rearview camera, turn indicators on the OVRM, stylish Zirconia alloy wheels and a new lighting signature on the tail lamps which complements the LED treatment upfront. On the inside, the Highline Plus packs in new air conditioning vents for the rear passengers, an auto-dimming IRVM, automatic rain-sensing wipers, cooled glove box and a multi-function steering wheel. Most of the interior design elements and features will be carried over from the existing Vento Highline trim including interior colour schemes (Cloud Titanschwarz and Walnut Desert Beige). The Highline Plus trim has also borrowed other features from the Highline trim - like seat upholstery, cruise control, a dead-pedal, and external boot release, to name a few. ABS and dual front airbags come as standard fitment.
The mechanicals remains the same. Price wise, the Highline Plus comes at an additional cost of Rs 90,000 – 92,000 over and above the Highline, across all variants. The prices for the Vento Highline Plus are as follow – (ex-showroom Mumbai)
Highline Plus 1.6 Petrol – Rs 10.84 lakh
Highline Plus 1.2 Petrol AT – Rs 12.06 lakh
Highline Plus Diesel – Rs 12.20 lakh
