The Volkswagen Vento facelift has been unveiled in India, following the update of its boot-less sibling, the Polo. The Vento is of course known in Malaysia as the Volkswagen Polo Sedan, where it was first launched as a 1.6 litre CBU import, then later reintroduced as a CKD.
The biggest change on the face would be the new headlamps, which now feature dual beams per headlamp. The area of the headlamp closer to the grille which used to be occupied by the turn signal now houses a new beam, while the turn signal has been moved to the bottom of the headlamp.
On the interior, there’s the new three-spoke steering wheel from the Polo hatchback facelift, and the centre dash area is now trimmed in silver.
No changes to the petrol engines – other than the 105 PS, 153 Nm 1.6 litre MPI engine mated to a 6-speed auto, India also gets a 1.2 TSI option with 105 PS and 175 Nm, mated a 7-speed DSG. The diesel engine is new – a 1.5 TDI that does 105 PS and 250 Nm, also using a 7-speed DSG.

German Engineering, Indian Assembling
India is the first Asian country to send a probe to Mars. Im quite sure their technology is quite decent.
Please bring in to Malaysia with the 1.2 TSI engine option please VGM.. But you can leave the DSG gearbox in India..
good idea. lower roadtax cost but 1.6-1.8 performance.
Why not use the same headlamp with LED & touchscreen infotainment system from the facelifted Polo? How to compete with the new Toyota Vios, Honda City , Kia Rio & Mazda 2 in the Asian market, if VW continues to offer downgraded spec like this ? Wake up VW!
After all this years, WV still with that boring look? Thanks to the lazy designer, lazy customer services, lazy after sales service, we get crappy car.
Opel, which is another German mainstream car manufacturer seems to have a more emotional design language..
When you’ve grown up and start to mature out of your ah beng mentality, then you’ll start to see the appeal in spartan clean designs
not to mention super expensive service charges.
Which car are you selling? P1 or P2?
If Toyota & Honda service is more expensive la.
vento used to be the name of Golf Sedan some 15 years back; another nameplate other than Bora dan Jetta.
VW marketing gimmick can sometimes be funny.
