Volkswagen announced the introduction of the special
edition model of its popular carlines the Polo, Ameo and Vento. It's called the
Sport Edition and comes with changes made to the exterior of the cars. The
special edition of all three cars will see them get a glossy black roof foil
and side foil. The cars also come with a black rear spoiler and a carbon finish
ORVM cap.
The company has made no mechanical changes to the any of the cars. In
fact there are no changes in the prices of the cars either. The Sport edition
models of the Polo, Ameo and Vento will be available across all Volkswagen
dealerships in India. Prices for the Polo start at Rs. 5.41 lakh, while the Ameo
costs Rs. 5.50 lakh onwards. The price of the Vento begins from Rs. 10.70 lakh.
Volkswagen India had discontinued the 1.2-litre
3-cylinder petrol engine in the Polo hatchback and the car gets a 1-litre,
three cylinder MPI engine instead. The new engine is more fuel efficient than
the 1.2 litre one. Where the older 1.2-litre MPI petrol returned 16.47 km/l
according to ARAI test results, the new smaller 1-litre MPI petrol engine
offers 18.78 km/l.
Although the new engine is smaller as compared to the
outgoing version, it offers the same horsepower figure of 75 bhp. Torque
figures for the 1-litre engine however, as expected, come down to 95 Nm as
compared to 110 Nm in the older 1.2-litre engine. The Ameo too received the same engine which made the
same amount of power as in the Polo. S
