Volkswagen Vento
Encyclopedia
Volkswagen Vento is a sedan car that is being manufactured by the European manufacturer Volkswagen
since 2010. It is essentially a Polo
with a boot, and has been developed especially for the Indian market. However, the design has none of the quirkiness as seen in its similarly-designed competitors.
Technically, the car comes with a 2552mm wheelbase, as opposed to the Polo's 2456mm. 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.
In March 2011, Volkswagen recorded an impressive sales figure of 3973 units, dethroning the Honda City
for the first time since its launch..
The Volkswagen Vento was the commercial name of the third generation of the Volkswagen Jetta
(1992 - 1999) in Germany and Europe.
