Engine and Performance
To breathe by the BS6 regulations, Volkswagen only looked to their direct injection petrol mill to provide power for its Vento line-up; with manual and automatic transmission options. It’s a 109bhp/175Nm 1.0-litre TSI unit, and we’ve covered the manual gearbox variant here. First things first, since this is a three-pot motor, it isn’t surprising to come across a fair degree of the thrum.
In fact, the motor is quite audible on the go, but owing to so much grunt available easily and consistently, you tend to give it a pass. Yep, as the motor revs past 2,000rpm, it lets out a particularly strong and linear power delivery that only tapers off before the 6,000rpm redline, without any hiccups or flat-spots. What eventually hogs the limelight here is when the accelerator is kept fully depressed, illegal speeds come up in a jiffy, whereby aiding overtaking chores considerably.
With such a strong mid-range grunt at hand, you really don’t need to work this six-speed gearbox hard to go about its duties. Now, although it’s light to the hand, it comes about as a tad too notchy for my taste; makes shifting in a hurry less exciting. Overall, this three-pot does well as a replacement for the earlier petrol/diesel mills barring the obvious NVH levels. Adding some extra zest to the package is VW’s claim of it returning 17.69km to a litre of fuel. A nice number even if you shave off a few in real-world conditions.
Ride Quality and Handling
Volkswagen has lent its Vento with a rather fine balance between ride and handling. In this regard, the steering not only has a reassuring heft, but it’s also particularly direct too. Both of which mean a great deal to drive fast. However, with about two-and-a-three quarter turns from lock to lock, it isn’t very quick; something that’s evident while parking in a tight spot.
Also, it seems clear that the firm ride quality is to blame when the going gets rough at slower speeds. However, up the pace in the Vento and the damping improves substantially to the extent where most imperfections are traversed upon without the occupants feeling much. Plus, the firm setup also blesses the Vento with good composure, be it highway blasts or corner carving.
Comfort, Convenience, and Features
The Vento’s insides have noticeably begun to show its age, not just in terms of plastic finish, but also in the use of premium materials; the rivals clearly having the upper hand now. Nevertheless, the beige upholstery/plastic and attractive flat-bottom steering certainly uplift the mood within. Likewise, the ‘German build quality’ still shines through when you hear the doors thud shut.
Now despite the Vento being behind its rivals in the game of dimensions, it doesn’t seem that way when seated, owing to the adequate head- and shoulder-room. Besides that, although three passengers can be seated at the rear, the middle occupant will struggle for legroom due to the extended AC vents and protruding transmission tunnel. Plus, if we are to nit-pick (like always), more optimum cushioning and extra under-thigh support are welcome.
As regards the features in this top-end Highline Plus model, it comes with climate control, cruise control, height adjustment for the steering wheel as well as the driver’s seat, rear AC vents, and two 12V sockets. The highlight of the centre console is a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which sounds and works well too.
Safety Features
It may not read as much but all the Volkswagen Vento versions get dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors. As such, the Highline Plus variant that’s been reviewed for this write-up also gets LED headlights and a reverse parking camera.
Exterior
The 2020 Volkswagen Vento we see in the images does away without any changes post the facelift it received in 2019. So as a refresher, it has the restyled bumpers, LED headlights with LED DRLs, and reshaped 16-inch alloy wheels. Since this one is the TSI edition, you’ll notice the decals on the doors which, in my opinion, look bleak. Admittedly, despite Vento’s understated charm, its newer rivals such as the latest Honda City and the Hyundai Verna make a stronger case for themselves.
Conclusion
Where the Volkswagen Vento fails to attract with its overall lacklustre aura, it tries to make up for some in the driving department. But, considering our market has increasingly progressed over time, so is the demand for an all-rounder too. Which, the Vento obviously falls short of. Plus, its price that ranges from Rs 11.75 to Rs 16.42 lakh (OTR Mumbai, Manual/Auto) doesn’t really help matters either. Maybe a price cut could lure some hatchback buyers to its reigns, but as of now, there are better choices out there. A rather unfortunate outcome to the dying breed of stimulatingly involving driver’s cars. I need a pint!

Nothing
What Can ImproveVW is a proven cheater and they don't care about their customers one bit. VW has not learnt anything from the hefty fine on cheating in USA. When a company can cheat the most powerful government in the world, how will they care about us? VW sold a faulty car to me last year and I've been trying to put my point across the who's who in VW, both in India and even Germany for more than an year now, but to no avail. The problem is that they sold a faulty car to me. The paint on top corroded with 6 months of buying the car The welding from the joint cracked as well. Within 1 year, the battery had to be replaced and I had to pay for the same. After a few months, the coolant leaked while I was on tour 500 kms away from hometown. This happened within 5 days of getting the car serviced. How on earth can something like this happen within a week of servicing the vehicle. I'm 100% sure that they would have charged lakhs from me had the car not been under warranty. The customer care does not respond at all.

What Can Improvebad
Dear Sir, I have purchased Volkswagon vento 1.6(MT) trendline in Oct 2011. Since then I am regularly driving the Car on daily basis. I regular cover around 15-20 KM per day. From last 2-3 days I found the problem in shifting the gear while driving the CAR on inclined roads. Once I select the gear to 2nd,3rd and 4th even though accelerating the vehicle I am not able to move forward the VEHICLE but in 1st gear it is working fine on inclined roads. When I contacted the service centre person he suggested me to replace the gear selector mechanism. But I am very disappointed by hearing this, because • Its only 3rd year and such a major gear transmition failure happened in the CAR • My feeling is volkswagon is the most reliable design and within 3rd year of car purchase such major failure is causing me to change my perception • After I purchased the CAR my 16 friends purchased the CAR in my company and your company has selected “Secure Meters Limited Udaipur (Rajasthan) in corporate discount list • I am the single person who drives this car • I am driving the CAR on daily basis since 1998, almost 16years. • I drove Maruti, Hundai and never found any problem in their CAR but the first experience of Volkswagon is very bad for me. • Till date I covered near to 22000KM I am attaching the snapshot of same for your reference. Request you to please look into the problem and give me proper resolution by replacing this gear selector mechanism. I hope you also conduct the root cause analysis of this problem. Please also find my details Name – Vibhanshu Bhardwaj CAR no RJ27-CB- 9785 Location – Udaipur Servise Centre Contact No - 9414290237 Warm Regards Vibhanshu Bhardwaj
- Whats Good
Very sturdy build quality. Feels very safe inside. Fit and finish is superb as compared to most Korean/Japanese cars in India. the diesel engine is fantastic - very thrifty thanks to the great gear ratios which make it easy to drive in slow traffic. The turbo kicks in early and combined with the torque, lets you enjoy power when you need it. The gear lever is a pleasure, almost moves itself smoothly and surely.
What Can ImproveThe boot touches road humps when you have people and/or luggage in the back. Painfully irritating in cities which don't have good roads. The audio system is a joke, not even close to what you should be getting for the price you are paying. The cost of maintenance is very high - annual service cost is 12000-15000. If you have an accident, the cost is scary unless you have bumper-to-bumper insurance which itself is very expensive. Also drinks engine oil. You have to keep an eye on it and usually have to top it up in between services.

overall running
What Can ImproveWhy doesn't the headlight/indicators switch off after switching off the car after parking. Very strange!!
the rear windows should go down fully!!
- Whats Good
Strong Built, Nice average but huge servicing cost as compared with competetors
What Can ImproveRear door power window controls with driver (Missing), rear passenger control to set from passenger seat. LOw ground clearance can be improved for Indian roads.
One all a good car but co. officials are non concerned about the customers even after raising concerns to company officials.
