2017 VW Vento ‘Preferred’ edition
Volkswagen has launched a new special edition model
in India dubbed VW Vento ‘Preferred’.
The VW Vento Preferred is targeted at corporate
executives who want more from the car. It’s equipped with several additional
exterior and interior features, such as alloy wheels, roof foil, side moulding,
leather seat covers and a portable navigation system with a wireless reversing
camera. The special edition is based on the Comfortline trim level and these
accessories are available individually as well.
The VW Vento Preferred is available with all the
three engine options of the VW Vento range. The base petrol engine is a
1.6-litre MPI naturally aspirated four-cylinder unit developing 105 PS and 153
Nm of torque, linked to a 5-speed manual transmission. Moving up the range,
there’s a smaller but even more capable, 1.2-litre TSI turbocharged
four-cylinder petrol engine that puts out 105 PS and 175 Nm of torque, and it
is paired to the 7-speed DSG transmission.
For those preferring diesel, there’s the recently
updated 1.5-litre TDI turbocharged four-cylinder unit good for 110 PS and 250
Nm of torque. It can be had with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a
7-speed DSG transmission. Volkswagen says that the Vento Preferred “is
attractively priced”, but the actual figure is available only at dealerships.
