The Volkswagen Vento is a subcompact car produced by Volkswagen India, the subsidiary of the German manufacturer Volkswagen, since 2010. It is essentially a three-box Volkswagen Polo with a stretched wheelbase and has been developed especially for some markets. It is sold in India, Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa, Russia, and Mexico. The car is sold under the Vento name in India and Mexico. In Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, South Africa and Russia it is sold as the Volkswagen Polo Sedan. The word Vento means 'wind' in both Italian and Portuguese. ==Overview== Technically, the car is based on a stretched version of the Volkswagen Polo. The extra wheelbase offers more rear legroom than the hatchback, 50mm additional wheelbase and 500-liters of boot space, something that is hugely appreciated by the customers. VW offers a choice of three engine options inside India and Mexico; a 1.6 litre petrol engine mated to a five-speed manual and a 1.5 litre high torque diesel engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed automatic gearbox in the Indian market. There is also the 1.2TSI option available only paired with a seven-speed automatic gearbox. The car in India is available in three trim levels: the Trendline, Comfortline and Highline, with the Petrol Highline also having the automatic option. Among the three variants, the Trendline is a bare-basic trim level, forming an entry point for the vehicle. The Comfortline gets a CD-MP3 music system, body-coloured door mirrors and handles and fog lamps among other features. The Highline features an Integrated USB music system, steering-mounted audio controls, leather upholstery, ABS, front airbags, a multi-function display, 15" alloy wheels and other standard features. The Volkswagen Vento Petrol variant offers a fuel efficiency of 12.5 Kmpl in City and about 15.8 Kmpl on Highway. Volkswagen Vento diesel variant of the car gives a mileage of about 16 Kmpl in the city and nearly 20 Kmpl on the highways VW recently introduced a new special edition version "Breeze" on the Trendline, featuring new, nifty features and added accessories. Besides the "Breeze', Volkswagen India, in collaboration with the IPL authorities, annually offers a special IPL edition at a slight premium. In March 2011, Volkswagen recorded an impressive sales figure of 3973 units, dethroning the Honda City for the first time since its launch. Overall the car has been quite successful in the Indian market and has been particularly lauded for its build quality. In November 2011, Škoda, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, introduced the Rapid, a car that is basically a re-badged Vento. In April 2012, the car is sold in Malaysia under the name "Polo Sedan". The car is also manufactured and sold in Russia and Thailand as "Volkswagen Polo Sedan" with only the petrol engine available.
