Give the neighbours something to talk about.


Built to sweep you off your feet.

A flick at the ignition will be music to your ears.


The body-coloured rear view mirrors

blend effortlessly with the muscular body

lines of the Vento. Areas most prone to

unsightly scratches feature a black base

for added protection.

The sleek body-coloured door handles

complement the Vento’s distinct profile.

Scientifically recessed, the handles are

designed to protect the paint from

unfortunate scratches.

The clean yet stunning body lines distinctive to the Vento are carried over to

its tail end as well. Subtle touches of chrome on the boot lid and well flushed

integrated tail lights reiterate that the Vento is truly best in its class.

The elegantly designed headlights and the chrome accented front grille add to the charm of the Vento. The headlights featuring

the chrome horizontal thunder-flash are now a signature feature of the Volkswagen design philosophy.

Crystal clear and accented in chrome

best describes the superior fog lamps

in the Vento. Needless to mention,

you’ll simply love the way they light up

the road ahead during bad weather.

The art of improving something nearly perfect comes naturally to Volkswagen engineers.

We realised that just good headlights weren’t good enough. So we made them better. We

also put indicator lamps in them. The state-of-the-art tail lights were designed keeping in

mind everyone’s safety on the road, not just yours.

Exterior.

The 15” alloy wheels are sturdy and

considerably lighter, thus enhancing

both, ride quality and road handling.

Come to think of it, the alloy wheels

make the Vento look spectacular as well.

A high level mounted brake light at the

rear ensures that the drivers behind can

now see you better. The brake lights do

their job efficiently and let’s face it; they

look stunning too.

The Volkswagen insignia on the

rear signifies our passion towards

exceptional engineering.

The interiors of the Vento are your personal refuge from the cares of this world. Caress

the steering wheel or even the gear knob and you will discover supple genuine leather

that makes it that much more exquisite. In fact, every surface is well finished with

exclusive fabric and upholstery, making the Vento truly splendid. The soothing colours

and the impeccable finish are all typical of a Volkswagen.

The comfort in the Vento is unparalleled. Whether it’s the innovative green tinted,

heat blocking glass that guarantees cooler interiors or the inimitable dust and pollen

filter in the air intake, everything is uncompromisingly designed. The Vento is

reassuringly flawless- all storage spaces are flocked on the interiors and all covers

shut with a reassuring click. We’ve left no stone unturned in crafting interiors that

are a class above the rest.

Interior.

The fact that you are contemplating owning a Vento marks you out as a person who

makes informed decisions. The multi-function display keeps you informed of the

fuel efficiency, maximum range before refuelling, distance travelled, performance

figures and even a visual door ajar warning. Almost everything is now at your disposal.

The air conditioning vent is designed for

improved air flow throughout the Vento.

Chrome lining around the vents adds to

its overall appeal.

The premium RCD 310 Music System

with USB-in on the Vento elevates your

CDs, MP3 and WMA files to a level that

is sublime. It’s now that much easier to

shut out the world and enjoy the drive

like never before.

The intelligent Climatronic air

conditioning makes it a point to always

keep you comfortable. The Vento

automatically regulates the temperature

to ensure a pleasant climate, making

every journey a comfortable one.

We understand your need for personal space and yet be with the whole family on a long drive.

Precisely why you’ll find a good balance of comfort and space when it comes to the exquisite

interiors. Millimetre to millimetre, the Vento offers the highest cabin space in its class.

Tastefully selected upholstery and the large glass area put the Vento in a league of its own.

Space.

Why choose when you can carry your world with you? The trunk offers all the space you desire. And the attention to detail is

clearly evident. Note the low loading height that makes it that much easier to heft heavy luggage and the discreet rub shield that

protects the body from scratches. Trunk illumination adds to the convenience. Why, take a look at the fully lined trunk, trunk

floor and the well finished trunk lid, and you’ll find beauty even in the smallest of details.

Neatly designed on the front doors are

the large bottle holders integrated into

the map pockets, for easy accessibility.

Concealed underneath the front armrest

is a fully flocked bin that makes sure no

scratches mar the shine of your mobile

phone when it’s placed in it.

The Vento's glovebox is spaciously

designed to hold essentials for your

daily journey. What's more, it offers

the added convenience of iPod

connectivity.

Convenience.

The Vento comes with the SpaceMax

control which is available for the first

time in any car in this segment. This

innovative control allows you to

move the co-driver’s seat forward

while you sit at the back, thereby

maximising legroom.

The foldable armrest in the rear ensures that even the passengers at the back are taken

good care of.

An armrest for you while driving is a

comfort you’ll take no time in getting

used to. For all the drives that involve

‘stop-go’ traffic, this little wonder

makes a big difference.

In the Vento, you’ll find individually

adjustable dual rear AC vents, so that

the journey seems just as comfortable

as it is in the front. Add to that,

tucked beneath the rear AC vents is a

foldable cupholder.

Here is a perfectly sized cupholder

to hold your drink safe whilst

you drive through chaotic traffic.

For those obsessed with reading,

the Vento caters to your need as well.

The thoughtfully positioned lamps

above the rear seat make sure that your

perusal is always well illuminated.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the

electrically adjustable mirrors which are

controlled by an intuitive joystick control.

A flick of the wrist and there you have it;

perfectly positioned mirrors.

With greater success in the offing,

you’ll need to keep a level head.

Well equipped with fully adjustable

headrests, the Vento ensures safety

along with total comfort.

We understand that no two drivers are the same. As a result, we’ve made the steering wheel adjustable for both, reach and rake.

Finding the perfect driving position is not just a matter of comfort. It’s what makes the Vento that much better to drive.

The perfect combination of comfort

and posture comes naturally once

you are in the driver’s seat,

what with its height adjustment

lever. Ingenious, if we may say so.

16 – Convenience – The Vento The Vento – Convenience – 17

Convenience in the Vento is a given, what with countless nights and numerous weekends

put in by our engineers in designing the interiors. Much thought has gone into each

and every feature, so as to make your driving experience that much more pleasurable.

The Vento is equipped with ABS (Anti-

lock Braking System) that ensures the

car remains maneuverable and in

control, even in the event of heavy

braking on slippery monsoon roads.

The Vento not only keeps you safe as you drive but also as you park. The parking

sensors assist in parking manoeuvres by emitting audible signals, alerting the driver

to any obstacles in the way: the closer you are to an obstacle, the faster the sound

frequency.

Anti-pinch protection windows protect you in case your arm is resting along the

seam. They are also an important safety technology as they prevent the windows

from opening even by the slightest movement of the hand.

3-point seat belts are the primary

means of protection and are available

for front and rear outboard seat

occupants. Anchorage on the front

seat belts is height-adjustable for a

more comfortable and secure fit.

Safety.

We don’t take anything for granted; not even the unforgiving roads. Ergo, the Vento carries dual airbags as standard for the

driver and co-driver. Along with the seat belts and ABS, the Vento is one of the safest cars in its class.

The key to your Vento features a

standard electronic immobiliser

anti-theft device. In the Highline, you

can also remote lock, unlock and

open the boot. In itself, the key

is also designed to fold in so that

you can carry it comfortably in your

trouser pockets.

18 – Safety – The Vento The Vento – Safety – 19

Incorporated with world-class safety features, the Vento is designed to protect you and

your family. With its robust design and superior engineering that has its genesis in an

ultra high-strength steel frame, the Vento offers exceptional safety with a tough build that

is reassuring, every time you feel the heft of the doors and the thump of its boot closing.

This is supplemented with advanced safety features such as dual airbags and ABS.

The Vento features our latest 1.6L Common Rail diesel technology which is incredibly fuel-efficient yet surprisingly quiet.

You’d probably need to drive it to believe it.

The Vento offers two 1.6L variants available in a choice of diesel and petrol. The

Double Overhead Cam (DOHC) 16 valve, 1.6L petrol engine delivers 105 PS (77kW)

of peak power and a peak torque of 153Nm at an easy 3800rpm. And ensuring zero

compromise, it offers a fuel efficiency of 15.8 km/l for the manual transmission

and 14.4 km/l for the automatic transmission under Indian test conditions.

Equally superior is the Turbocharged Common Rail 1.6L diesel engine in the Vento

that is designed to deliver dynamic performance and go frugal on fuel as well.

This engine produces 105 PS (77kW) of unbridled power and an amazing torque

of 250Nm from 1500rpm to 2500rpm, making it one of the most powerful diesel

engines on the road. It offers a fuel efficiency of 20.5 km/l under Indian test

conditions. Take it out for a drive and you’ll know why they call it “the best

of both worlds”.

Refinement is the hallmark of the

5-speed manual transmission.

It effortlessly delivers a positive shift

action. Besides, this transmission

helps deliver exhilarating performance

coupled with impressive fuel efficiency,

making it a force to reckon with.

The automatic transmission adapts to the driving style of the driver- from leisurely cruising to sporty performance. If need be, you could even take matters into your own hands with the Tiptronic gearshift function.
