Volkswagen Vento photos price and specifications

The common-rail diesel version of the Vento is the one to look out for. The car has a torque of 25kgm with a slightly lower rpm at 1500. This is the best in class in terms of the speed compared to its other models and is also the most frivolous one to step on the peddle. For a Car at this price range it does have a tiny bit of lag but if you are driver of some good capabilities then you will manage to stay away from the bog-zone. If you can get the turbo engine up its full capacity then revving the car is quite easy and you can easily maintain cruising speeds even on the long escapades. For a car at this price the engine is damn refined with some class and you can tell for fact that it is a diesel only when you get to hear the gravel sound. The engine is still a giant leap away from the Pumpe Duse engines of old. The Volkswagen Vento does not throw up any un pleasant surprises and is quite stable. The car is quite a listener with a safe and sound drive wheel for any kind of movement in the traffic. The car also stays pretty much on the road even at some quirky corners. The drive wheel listens to your command and pretty much drives the way you want it to. The tyres complement well and offer some good grip on the surface. You might be in for some body roll but that is part and parcel of cars in this segment. The Vento more than makes up for it with some amazing ride quality and makes even the bumpiest of terrains mute under its wheels. The car seemed pretty steady even with four people and some huge massive luggage in the boot.The entire line of the Vento is equipped with rear air-con vents and a rear centre armrest. The Highline spec is the one that gets the best of the lot. The car has a CD player, climate control, electric mirrors, remote locking, alloy wheels, a trip computer, ABS and two airbags but no aux-in port. The entry level Trendline is priced well but it comes at the cost of some poor equipment and as of now there is no middle-of-the-road Comfortline variant that gives the best of both the worlds.On the whole the Vento is really tempting to splurge on. For a car at its price range you will fall in love with the solid build quality, the huge under tones giving it that class and maturity and then there is the diesel engine. The Vento prices start from Rs 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for the Trendline petrol and go on to Rs 9.23 lakh for the Highline diesel. The highlights of the car are the amazing ride quality, space for everyone and everything, comfortable seats for smoother journey and neat handling which responds well to your commands. The brickbats come in the form of some Lazy gearbox, lack of USB port and aux.
