Volkswagen has launched the Vento 1.2 TSI in India. The Vento TSI is priced at Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
The new Volkswagen Vento TSI is powered by a 1.2-litre direct injection turbo petrol engine that makes 103bhp and 17.84kgm of torque. This is the same motor that does duty in the VW Polo GT TSI. The Vento TSI gets the same seven-speed DSG 'box as well. The combination of the 1.2 motor with the DSG transmission results in an ARAI-certified fuel efficiency figure of 16.93 kpl.
Volkswagen discontinued the Polo 1.6 petrol model earlier this year and launched the Polo GT TSI. However, with the Vento, VW will continue to sell the 1.6 manual and automatic alongside the Vento TSI.
