Volkswagen has yet again updated the Polo and Vento siblings with added new features to make it truly loaded with tech. This is the second time the German car maker has updated the car in a bid to keep it competitive in the market and keep away some of the wrong attention it has been getting in the form of the Dieselgate scam. The 2016 Volkswagen Polo and Vento get new features like a touchscreen infotainment system with Mirror Link Connectivity and Phone Book and SMS viewer, rain sensing wipers and auto dimming IRVM​. 


On this occasion, Mr. Michael Mayer, Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars India said, “Vento and Polo have been among our best-selling carlines since their inception in the Indian market and I am delighted to announce the introduction of these additional features. Providing a further boost to safety, the rain sensor and auto-dimming IRVM features allows the occupant to drive with ease and convenience. We are optimistic of continuing to raise the bar through our brand new offerings, and further expand the growing Volkswagen family in India.”


Prices for the updated Polo start at Rs. 5.33 lakhs and go up to Rs. 8.90 lakhs, while the updated Vento has been priced between Rs. 7.85 lakhs and Rs. 12.13 lakhs (All prices Ex-showroom, Delhi).
