Volkswagen Vento Highline Plus Starts Arriving At Dealerships
- The Volkswagen Vento Highline Plus gets full LED headlamps and DRLs
- The Vento HL Plus will also sport new features and upholstery
- The launch is expected in the following days
With the Highline Plus variant, the Volkswagen Vento gets subtle upgrades including new full-LED headlamps, a segment first feature and will come integrated with LED daytime running lights (DRLs) that seem to have taken inspiration from the bigger Jetta sedan. The tail lights are also expected to be tweaked as well and will feature an even prominent LED appearance. The alloy wheels though carry the same design, but are now expected to be available in black as well.
The Vento Highline Plus gets new integrated LED DRLs
Mechanically, the Volkswagen Vento Highline Plus continues with the same engine options as the current version. Petrol power comes from the 1.6 litre MPI engine tuned to produce 103 bhp of power and is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. Diesel power comes from the 1.5 litre TDI mill tuned for an identical 103 bhp of power, paired to a 5-speed gearbox. The 7-speed DSG automatic transmission is also available and comes paired to the 1.2 litre TSI motor as well as the diesel unit.
Other upgrades include a reverse camera, new upholstery, updated infotainment system with navigation and detachable window shades for rear windows. The touchscreen unit is said to be similar to the one seen on the new Ameo and will come with the MirrorLink feature. Expect Volkswagen to command a marginal premium on the new Vento Highline Plus variant when it goes on sale soon.
The interior is expected to sport an updated infotainment system
The Volkswagen Vento Highline Plus comes at a time when the C-segment sedan space will see a slew of updates. The 2017 Honda City facelift is scheduled for launch on 14th February, while the next generation Hyundai Verna and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz facelift are also due for launch this year.
Prices for the current Volkswagen Vento Highline starts at Rs. 10.09 lakh for the petrol trim, going up to Rs. 12.65 lakh for the range topping diesel automatic.
