The Volkswagen Vento has been one of the more popular models in the compact sedan segment. First launched in 2010, the Vento was a solid, fun-to-drive sedan, however, barring some minor facelifts, the car never really received a proper update.

Having said that, the car is still popular in the used car market, and you can find one for anywhere between Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 12 lakh depending on the model year and condition of the car.
