The Volkswagen Vento is a sedan car manufactured by Volkswagen India since 2010. It is essentially a three-box Volkswagen Polo with a stretched wheelbase and has been developed especially for the Indian market.

Overview

Technically, the car has a 2552 mm wheelbase, as opposed to the Polo's 2456 mm. The extra wheelbase offers more rear legroom than the hatchback, something that is hugely appreciated by the Indian customers. VW offers a choice of two engine options; a 1.6 litre petrol engine mated to a five-speed manual or automatic gearbox and a 1.6 litre diesel engine mated only to a five-speed manual gearbox.

The car is available in three trim levels: the Trendline, Comfortable and Highline, with the Petrol Highline also having the automatic option. Among the three variants, the Trendline is a bare-basic trim level, forming an entry point for the vehicle. The Comfortable gets a CD-MP3 music system, body-coloured door mirrors and handles and fog lamps among other features. The Highline features an Integrated USB music system, steering-mounted audio controls, leather upholstery, ABS, front airbags, a multi-function display, 16" alloy wheels and other standard features. ^[1]

VW recently introduced a new special edition version "Breeze" on the Trendline, featuring new, nifty features and added accessories.^[2] Besides the "Breeze', Volkswagen India, in collaboration with the IPL authorities, annually offers a special IPL edition at a slight premium.

In March 2011, Volkswagen recorded an impressive sales figure of 3973 units, dethroning the Honda City for the first time since its launch.^[3]. Overall the car has been quite successful in the Indian market and has been particularly lauded for its build quality. ^[4]

In September 2011, the car was slightly upgraded as per customer feedback and opinion. These upgrades included a USB-compatible music system and steering mounted controls on the Highline variant.^[5]

In November, Skoda, a subsidary of Volkswagen, introduced the Rapid, a car that is basically a re-badged Vento.

Use of the name

Volkswagen Vento was the commercial name of the third generation Volkswagen Jetta (1992–1999) in Europe.
