Volkswagen Vento-Another winner from the VW Group

31 July 2010 1 comment Posted By:Vivek

volkswagen-vento-image.jpg The Volkwagen Polo was well received by the Indian markets, even though the price was a bit on the higher side compared to other small cars. The good response from the markets prompted the German manufacturers to launch its next car without wasting much time. The new Volkswagen Vento is a sedan variant of the Polo and has been launched at a price tag of around 7-9 lakhs ( again a bit high). The sedan variant would compete against the likes of Swift Dzire, Hyundai Verna Transform , Ford Fiesta and other sedans in the same category.

Feature wise the Volkswagen Vento includes all the primary features of the Polo.The front end looks exactly like the Polo. The interior is more  comfortable though,and presents a good ambiance. The wheelbase of the Vento has been stretched by around 50mm compared to the hatchback variant,for better legroom.Other features available on the Vento would be height-adjustable front seats,Dual SRS airbags, ABS with EBD support,Front and rear arm rests in the center, door opening warning.Anti-theft system among others.

The Vento will get two engine options-a petrol and a diesel, The 1.6 Litre petrol engine produces 105Bhp of power and torque of 153Nm. The petrol version gets a 6 speed automatic transmission option along with the manual 5-speed transmission.The Diesel variant comes with a manual 5 speed transmission but the stand out feature of the Diesel engine is that it is not less powerful tahn the Petrol variant(@105BHP itself) and also provides a torque of around 250Nm, much higher than the Petrol variant.

Volkswagen Vento will be available in 3 petrol variants- Vento Trendline, Vento Highline and the Highline AT, and 2 Diesel variants-Vento Diesel Trendline and the Vento Diesel Highline.

The Volkswagen group sales increased by more than 100% during the first six months of the year.Whether the Vento will be as successful as the Polo remains to be seen. well. if the sales are increasing so much, may be ,sooner or later, Volkswagen may begin production of the Beetle also in India.*Currently the Beetle i imported as CBUs to India and hence costs more than 20 lakhs.
