Volkswagen has launched the next-gen Vento
(next-gen Polo) in Russia. The prices of the all-new Vento start at RUB
792,900. The all-new VW Vento in Russia,
like the all-new Skoda Rapid sold in the country, is a liftback. The all-new
model features a more elegant design that gives it a more mature look. The
profile could’ve been more appealing, though. The interior is a whole lot
classier and definitely ups the ante with new high-tech equipment and a
trendier styling.
On the outside, the 2020 VW Vento for
Russia and other CIS countries features full LED headlights, 16-inch alloy
wheels and full LED rear lights. Interior highlights include 10.25-inch Active
Info Display configurable virtual instrument cluster, 8-inch Composition Media
floating touchscreen infotainment system and USB-C port.
Like the all-new Skoda Rapid, the all-new
VW Vento sits on the same old PQ25 platform of its predecessor. Three engine
options are available. The base engine is the 1.6-litre MPI N/A four-cylinder
petrol unit producing 90 PS and 155 Nm of torque, linked to a 5-speed manual
transmission.
The mid-range engine is the 1.6-litre MPI
N/A four-cylinder petrol unit that develops 110 PS and 155 Nm of torque, paired
with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The
range-topping engine is the 1.4-litre TSI turbocharged four-cylinder petrol
unit that generates 125 PS and 200 Nm of torque, matched with the 7-speed DSG
dual-clutch automatic transmission.
