Exterior People might think that Vento is a pretty bland looking car especially put against rivals like Verna Fluidic and New Fiesta, but I would say VW's idea is differnt. I think they dont want to boast of a car with sporty looks that turns on the typical indian youth, rather the design is solid with German temparence and sedate looks to match to a conservative class and subtle appeal. None the less the above mentioned competitors have taken a marginal edge only standing on looks and features.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features- Pretty much down on goodies. Parking Sensors, Steering mounted controls, Bluetooth & USB is expected as standard fitments. However there are few wow factors like the magic lever that slides the co-driver seat without having to go upfront.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Awesome!!!!! A 105 BHP Engine yeilding a peak torque of 254 N-m with a flat torque curve starting from 1500 rmp to 3000 rpm. Any mechanical/automotive engineer who knows about functioning of an IC engine would accepth this to be a landmark feat in an engine of this capacity.
No wonder the fluidic verna, a 128 BHP engine, with 6 speed gearbox and peak torque of 260 N-m lags with a full 5 seconds against vento when simulated acceleration run is done from 30 kmph to 100 kmph in indian road conditions.
Ride Quality & Handling Fairly Good and Solid. Needs improvement at low speeds (Upto 70 kmph) There is slight pitching problem, however the car gets magically stable at high speeds.
Final Words I have done 15000 kms in this car. All I have to say is if looks and features are the only criteria of buying, then dont go for a Vento. Else in everything.... VENTO RULES!!!!
Areas of improvement
