Volkswagen unveils sedan Vento in India

7 July 2010 6 Comments


German car-maker Volkswagen on Tuesday unveiled its entry-level sedan, ‘Vento’, in India. The car will be launched in the last quarter of this year.

After launching its compact car, ‘Polo’, in February this year, the ‘Vento’ is Volkswagen’s second car targeting the mass market and will be positioned at the upper-end of the mid-sized sedan segment in the country. “This is the first car which has been designed and manufactured in India,” Volkswagen Group Board Member (Sales & Marketing) Christian Klingler told.

The car will be available with two engine options, a 1.6 litre CRDI diesel engine and a 1.6 litre petrol engine, both producing 105 bhp. Both the engines would be available with a 5-speed manual gearbox while a 6-speed automatic gearbox will be available only for the petrol variant.

The car will compete directly with some big names such as Honda City, Maruti Suzuki SX4, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Verna and Fiat Linea. Check out how it compare here:

Senior company officials said the price of the car will be announced in the first week of August and it will be available in the market in the October-December quarter.
