Volkswagen launches facelifted Polo and Vento Highline

Volkswagen’s facelifted Polo and Vento Highline are expected to reach Indian showrooms by the second half of September. The new Polo Highline diesel and the Vento  oil burner are priced at Rs 6.94 lakh and Rs 9.89 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) respectively. Both models will sport black tinted headlamps and new alloy wheels. The Polo Highline will also sport a leather wrapped steering wheel, leather wrapped gearshift knob and handbrake lever, a new music system with USB and Bluetooth connectivity and steering mounted controls.

The Vento Highline will now come with a navigation system and rear-view camera along with the common features. The Polo Highline diesel price has been reduced by Rs 65,000 while the Vento Highline oil burner gets a price cut of Rs 20,000. “The introduction of new features in the Polo and the Vento will further excite the customers as both the car lines will offer much more value now. The introduction of these features will pave the path for higher volumes for these car lines,” said Arvind Saxena, Managing Director, Volkswagen India.

Sales figures for August this year remained weak for Volkswagen as collated sales dipped from 6,091 units to 4,410. However, with festive season around the corner and the new upcoming models, the numbers are expected to rise. Besides Polo and Vento, Volkswagen also sells the Jetta, Passat, Phaeton, Touareg and the new Beetle
