Motor1 Brazil has acquired spy shots of the 2018 VW
Voyage testing in Brazil for the first time. Given that
the next gen Brazil-spec Gol and Polo are developed together, this could very
well be our first look at the next generation Polo sedan, otherwise known as
the VW Vento in India.
The new Vento appears to
wider than the outgoing model, and could have a slightly longer wheelbase.
Although it may be completely wrapped in camouflage, noticeable new changes
include sleeker headlamps, larger grille, and new LED wraparound taillamps. The
C-pillar design also appears to have been changed.
The next gen VW Vento will be based on the entry
level ‘A0’ version of the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform, which is
expected to shed a significant amount of weight from the current model’s kerb
weight. The engine lineup is reported to include the 1.4 MPI engine, 1.2 TSI
engine and a 1.5L TDI diesel engine available with manual and DSG automatic
gearboxes.
