This further strengthens our bond and reiterates our commitment towards providing a comfortable and safe driving experience to the Indian consumers."

The Ameo especially is a car made for the Indian market and comes with a host of first-in-class features such as 7-speed DSG transmission, cruise control, rain sensing wipers and anti-pinch power windows among others. On the other hand, the Vento has been one of the most popular cars sold by Volkswagen in India and comes with similar premium features.

Under the hood, the Ameo comes powered by a 1.2 litre MPI petrol engine and a 1.5 TDI diesel motor. The Vento at the same time comes with a 1.6 litre MPI engine and a 1.5 litre TDI oil burner. Both the cars get a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 7-speed DSG unit for transmission options.
