The Car The European automaker Volkswagen launched Vento in July 2010 in India. If we see the prevalent trend in the Indian car market, the car manufacturers are now interested in making cars that would suit the Indian conditions. Vento models are rolled out from the Volkswagen plant in Chakan in the Pune district of Maharshtra. This being an entirely Indian make, the company has succeeded in keeping the prices of the variants under control and exceptionally competitive prices make Vento sell like hot cakes. Even at competitive rates the engineers have crafted out the ‘Vento’ an irresistible temptation. Volkswagen has made Vento with an aim to lock horns with the market leader Honda City. As far as the Indian mid size premium sedan segment market is concerned, Honda has made pots of money for a long time; but Volkswagen Vento has certainly changed the stats. Volkswagen enjoys the number one position in the global auto market. Now the company tries to snatch the position that Honda secures in the mid size premium sedan segment. If we compare the all new Volkswagen Vento with Honda City, the main striking difference is that the former comes in both petrol and diesel versions unlike Honda City which is available only in petrol version. The engine used in Vento (1.6 L petrol and diesel engines) is the same which powers Volkswagen Polo. Volkswagen Vento Petrol Highline AT is packed with all the standard features of the base variant.
