Volkswagen India has introduced the VW Vento facelift at a starting price of Rs 7.44 lakh. The big feature on the facelift is the launch of the 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine which was introduced on the Polo facelift in July, and along with it the seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.
Cosmetically, the front fascia of the Vento facelift receives new double-barrel headlamps, a slightly redesigned front bumper, new alloy wheels and a mildly updated rear bumper and tail lamp.
The interior gets the new three-spoke steering wheel from the Polo facelift. The dashboard is in a brown and black dual tone theme with the centre console getting a silver finish.
Dual front airbags are standard across all variants, and so are height-adjustable driver seat and power windows.
The Highline variants get 15-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth-enabled audio system, speed sensing door locks, automatic climate control and steering-mounted audio controls.
As for the powertrains, the 1.5-litre diesel engine (available with a five-speed manual or seven-speed automatic gearbox) delivers 105 PS (103.5 bhp) and 250 Nm of torque.
The 1.6-litre petrol (available with a five-speed manual gearbox) offers 105 PS at 5,250 rpm and 153 Nm at 3,800 rpm while the 1.2-litre TSI engine (available with a seven-speed automatic gearbox) delivers 105 PS at 5,000 rpm and 175 Nm at 1,500-4,100 rpm.
