The art of improving something nearly perfect comes naturally to Volkswagen engineers. We realised that just good headlights weren’t good enough. So we
made them better. We also put indicator lamps in them. The state-of-the-art tail lights were designed keeping in mind everyone’s safety on the road, not just yours.
Exterior.
The Volkswagen insignia on the rear signifies our passion towards
exceptional engineering.
The clean yet stunning body lines distinctive to the Vento are carried over
to its tail end as well. Subtle touches of chrome on the boot lid and well
flushed integrated tail lights reiterate that the Vento is truly best in its class.

The elegantly designed headlights and the chrome accented front grille add to the charm of the Vento. Our designers constantly try and come up with fresh features to make your
drive a lot more stylish. And the newest addition to the Vento Highline are a pair of sleek, black headlamps. The next time you hit the road, do it in style.
The sleek body-coloured door handles
complement the Vento’s distinct profile.
Scientifically recessed, the handles are
designed to protect the paint from
unfortunate scratches.
The beauty of the Vento, now even more
enhanced. Stylish and sporty new alloy
wheels are sure to get heads turning your
way.

Crystal clear and accented in chrome
best describes the superior fog lamps in
the Vento. Needless to mention, you’ll
simply love the way they light up the
road ahead during bad weather.
The body-coloured rear view mirrors
blend effortlessly with the muscular
body lines of the Vento. Areas most
prone to unsightly scratches feature a
black base for added protection.

The comfort in the Vento is unparalleled. Whether it’s the innovative green-tinted, heat-blocking
glass that guarantees cooler interiors or the inimitable dust and pollen filter in the air intake,
everything is uncompromisingly designed. The Vento is reassuringly flawless - all storage spaces
are flocked on the interiors and all covers shut with a reassuring click. We’ve left no stone
unturned in crafting interiors that are a class above the rest.
Enjoy your favourite music as you drive.
The convenience of audio controls, call answering
and bluetooth control, now right at your fingertips.
We understand your need for personal space and yet be with
the whole family on a long drive. Precisely why you’ll find a
good balance of comfort and space when it comes to the exquisite
interiors. Millimetre to millimetre, the Vento offers the highest cabin
space in its class. Tastefully selected upholstery and the large glass
area put the Vento in a league of its own.
Space.
Why choose when you can carry your world with you? The trunk offers all the
space you desire. And the attention to detail is clearly evident. Note the low
loading height that makes it that much easier to heft heavy luggage and the
discreet rub shield that protects the body from scratches. Trunk illumination
adds to the convenience. Why, take a look at the fully lined trunk, trunk
floor and the well-finished trunk lid, and you’ll find beauty even in the
smallest of details.
Concealed underneath the front armrest is a
fully flocked bin that makes sure no scratches
mar the shine of your mobile phone when
it’s placed in it.
Interior.
Neatly designed on the front doors are
the large bottle holders integrated into
the map pockets, for easy accessibility.

There’s never a dull moment in a Volkswagen. The RCD
220/320 music system with 4 speakers, integrated USB,
AUX-IN and SD card slot makes for truly memorable
company everytime you’re out for a spin.
The intelligent Climatronic air-conditioning makes it a point
to always keep you comfortable. The Vento automatically
regulates the temperature to ensure a pleasant climate,
making every journey a comfortable one.
Here is a perfectly sized cupholder to hold your
drink safe whilst you drive through chaotic traffic.
The spacious seats, upholstered for added comfort, lend a luxurious touch to the back. A foldable
armrest and dual rear AC vents assure a relaxed time to everyone out for a drive.

Convenience.
We understand that no two drivers are the same. As a result, we’ve made the steering wheel
adjustable for both, reach and rake. Finding the perfect driving position is not just a matter
of comfort. It’s what makes the Vento that much better to drive. What’s more, the steering wheel
comes stylishly leather wrapped, for a perfect grip and added comfort.
An armrest for you while driving is a comfort
you’ll take no time in getting used to. For all
the drives that involve ‘stop-go’ traffic, this little
wonder makes a big difference.
The foldable armrest in the rear ensures that even
the passengers at the back are taken good care of.
The perfect combination of comfort and
posture comes naturally once you are in the
driver’s seat, what with its height adjustment
lever. Ingenious, if we may say so.
Comfort meets convenience in the Vento.
Stylishly tucked beneath the rear AC vents is
a foldable cupholder, that gives a perfect grip to
your morning or evening cuppa.
For those obsessed with reading, the Vento caters
to your need as well. The thoughtfully positioned
lamps above the rear seat make sure that your
perusal is always well illuminated.
With greater success in the offing, you’ll need
to keep a level head. Well equipped with fully
adjustable headrests, the Vento ensures safety
along with total comfort.

Maximise legroom at the back with SpaceMax
control. For the first time in this segment, a car
allows you to adjust the co-driver’s seat from the
back. The individually adjustable dual rear AC
vents make the journey at the back as
comfortable as the front.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the electrically
adjustable mirrors which are controlled by an
intuitive joystick control. A flick of the wrist and
there you have it; perfectly positioned mirrors.
Convenience in the Vento is a given, what with countless nights and numerous weekends
put in by our engineers in designing the interiors. Much thought has gone into each and
every feature, so as to make your driving experience that much more pleasurable.

Safety.
Anti-pinch protection windows protect you in case your arm is resting along the seam. They are also an important
safety technology as they prevent the windows from opening, even by the slightest movement of the hand.
Incorporated with world-class safety features, the Vento is designed to protect you and
your family. With its robust design and superior engineering that has its genesis in an
ultra high-strength steel frame, the Vento offers exceptional safety with a tough build that
is reassuring every time you feel the heft of the doors and the thump of its boot closing.
This is supplemented with advanced safety features such as dual airbags and ABS.
The Vento is equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System) that ensures the car remains manoeuvrable
and in control, even in the event of heavy braking
on slippery monsoon roads.
3-point seat belts are the primary means of
protection and are available for front and rear
outboard seat occupants. Anchorage on the
front seat belts is height-adjustable for a more
comfortable and secure fit.
We don’t take anything for granted, not even the unforgiving roads. Ergo, the Vento carries
dual airbags for the driver and co-driver. Along with the seat belts and ABS, the Vento
is one of the safest cars in its class.
The Vento not only keeps you safe as you drive but
also as you park. The rear parking sensors assist in
parking manoeuvres by emitting audible signals,
alerting the driver to any obstacles behind: the closer
you are to an obstacle, the faster the sound frequency.

The key to your Vento features a standard electronic
immobiliser anti-theft device. In the Comfortline and
Highline, you can also remote lock, unlock and
open the boot. In itself, the key is also designed to
fold in so that you can carry it comfortably in your
trouser pockets.

The Vento offers two 1.6L variants available in a choice of diesel and petrol. The Double
Overhead Cam (DOHC) 16 valve, 1.6L petrol engine delivers 105 PS (77kW) of peak power
and a peak torque of 153 Nm at an easy 3800 rpm. And ensuring zero compromise, it offers
a fuel-efficiency of 15.04 km/l for the manual transmission and 14.4 km/l for the automatic
transmission under (ARAI) test conditions.
Equally superior is the Turbocharged Common Rail 1.6L diesel engine in the Vento that is
designed to deliver dynamic performance and go frugal on fuel as well. This engine produces
105 PS (77kW) of unbridled power and an amazing torque of 250 Nm from 1500 rpm to
2500 rpm. It offers a fuel-efficiency of 20.5 km/l under (ARAI) test conditions.
Take it out for a drive and you’ll know why they call it “the best of both worlds.”

The Vento features our latest 1.6L Common Rail diesel technology which is incredibly fuel-efficient, yet surprisingly quiet. You’d probably need to drive it to believe it.
Refinement is the hallmark of the 5-speed manual transmission.
The gear knob comes stylishly wrapped with high quality leather,
effortlessly delivering a positive shift action. Besides, this
transmission helps deliver exhilarating performance coupled
with impressive fuel-efficiency, making it a force to reckon with.
The 6-speed automatic transmission adapts to the driving
style of the driver - from leisurely cruising to sporty
performance. If need be, you could even take matters into
your own hands with the Tiptronic gearshift function.
Available in 1.6L petrol highline only.
