Volkswagen Malaysia teases the upcoming Volkswagen Vento sedan


Volkswagen Malaysia is now accepting bookings for the soon to be launched Volkswagen Vento. It will be priced somewhere between RM80,000 to RM90,000 and will be powered by a 1.2L turbocharged and direct-injection TSI engine with an output of 105PS and a maximum torque of 175Nm. The power goes through the front wheels via 7-speed dual-clutch or direct-shift gearbox (DSG). Three variants will be available. 



What is a Volkswagen Vento? Here Volkswagen Malaysia has given us hints by showing us the front grille, rear lights and the TSI engine. Volkswagen is bringing back the 1.2liter turbocharged engine and the DSG for its smallest model. They used to sell that configuration here in the Polo 1.2TSI hatchback. 

Be the first to book a test drive of the new Vento by visiting http://vw.volkswagen.com.my/coming-soon/the- vento/. Alternatively,
bookings can also be made at authorized Volkswagen dealers.

I say if you are really curious on how it will basically look like (but not exact specification of course) just head over to the Volkswagen India website here and you can see it in all of its glory.
