Updated Volkswagen Polo and Vento to be launched in India on September 4
The facelifted Volkswagen Polo and Vento, which have been spotted on test in India a number of times will be launched on September 4. Along with the new fascia, the hatchback and sedan are expected to be equipped with BSVI compliant petrol and diesel engines.
Currently, the Polo (petrol variant) gets two engines on offer, a 1.0-litre three-cylinder and a 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine - which could be tuned to comply with the BSVI norms. Whereas the Vento (petrol variant) uses a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine and a 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine which could be replaced by a new turbocharged petrol engine which could also be later offered in the Volkswagen's upcoming sub-compact SUV.
Even with the new emission compliant engines, the Polo and the Vento will continue to get a choice of an optional automatic (seven-speed dual-clutch) gearbox.
The feature list is expected to be the same in both cars. And the tweaking of the engine could hike the price by Rs 30,000-50,000 on both the cars across variants. Currently, the Polo is priced between Rs 5.71-9.72 lakh ex-showroom. Meanwhile, the Vento retails between Rs 8.64-14.34 lakh ex-showroom.
