I went for a test drive of the New VW Vento and It looks more like the Jetta now. We preferred the Vento's pre-facelift look, but with VW’s new design language, all its cars are closer to each other in terms of looks.
The Vento now gets more prominent creases on the hood, which by the way, has grown in length. The bumpers have been redesigned, as have the headlamps and the fogs. In the inside, Bluetooth, Aux-in and USB connectivity has been carried over from the outgoing Vento.
There's now a button on the boot lid to pop it open from the outside, something that VW forgot to add all these years. But, despite these additions, VW has left out a reverse cam even with this update.
A reverse cam is now almost standard for this segment, but clearly, VW thinks otherwise. In terms of mechanicals, the Vento gets nearly no changes. It can still be had with the same 1.6-litre petrol, mated either to a five-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch auto. In terms of drivability, too, the Vento is top dog. Solid German engineering has resulted in sound dynamics.
