While the replacement for the long-standing Volkswagen Vento might still be some time away from an India launch, the carmaker has successfully enhanced the current-gen car. The updated Vento compares well with newer rivals on equipment while still offering all that we’ve liked about the model, over the years. The Volkswagen Vento is available in petrol-manual, petrol-automatic, diesel-manual and diesel-automatic versions.

There is an understated elegance to the Vento’s design and the car looks attractive, even after all these years. It’s not new-age on the inside either but there is a certain upmarket feel to the cabin. As ever, the Vento's tough build is one of its highlights. Seat comfort is good and rear-seat space is also impressive, if not at class-best levels.The 105hp, 1.6-litre petrol engine offers performance that’s at par with the rest of the segment Although it’s the petrol-automatic combo with a 105hp, 1.2 turbo-petrol engine and dual-clutch auto gearbox that is the zingier, more modern and nicer petrol option. The 110hp, 1.5-litre diesel engine isn’t the quietest around but it delivers exciting mid-range performance. The diesel-manual is nice, while the diesel with the dual-clutch auto makes the Vento feel like a mini-Jetta. All Ventos feel surefooted but the ride can get fidgety on broken patches and its suspension isn’t the quietest, either.

The Vento petrol-manual is reasonably priced, but there are better petrol sedans available for a similar price point. High-mileage users will be content with the diesels but for majority of the buyers, it’s the 1.2-litre TSI petrol-automatic that will be the best fit. The 1.2-litre TSI configuration in second-from-top Highline trim is our pick of the range.
