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.
