Volkswagen Discontinues Vento’s Base-Spec Comfortline And Top-Spec highlights

Volkswagen has axed the Vento’s base-spec Comfortline and top-spec Highline Plus MT variants, priced at Rs 9.99 lakh and Rs 13.06 lakh (both ex-showroom) respectively. Customers are now left with an option of two trims on the sedan, including one Matte Edition alternative. Alongside, the carmaker is working on the Vento’s successor, likely to be called the Virtus, which will break cover in March.

Here is the Vento’s current variant lineup:

Variant	Price, Status
Comfortline	Rs 9.99 lakh (Discontinued)
Highline MT	Rs 10 lakh
Highline AT	Rs 13.01 lakh
Highline Plus MT	Rs 13.06 lakh (Discontinued)
Highline Plus AT	Rs 14.44 lakh

This variant discontinuation has trimmed down options for MT buyers. The Vento is powered by a sole 110PS 1-litre turbo-petrol engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox. However, the MT is now limited to the new base-spec Highline trim.
