Volkswagen Malaysia Accepting Bookings For New Vento Sedan
Ahead of its launch, Volkswagen Malaysia has confirmed it’s accepting bookings for the Volkswagen Vento sedan. It will be available in three variants – Highline, Comfortline and Trendline. Prices haven’t been confirmed but it shouldn’t stray too far north of RM 90k.
The new Vento is essentially a redone Polo sedan – with redesigned chrome grille, bumpers, fog and rear lights. The Vento Highline will come with a 1.2L turbocharged and direct-injection TSI engine (output of 105 PS and 175 Nm; the only turbocharged engine in its class) and a 7-speed dual-clutch (DSG) gearbox.
There’s no mention of the drivetrain for the other variants so it’s most likely the non-turbocharged 1.6 liter engine and 6-speed automatic transmission.
The new Vento Highline has been awarded 5-star rating by ASEAN NCAP and is equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), four airbags (front and side), anti-lock braking system (ABS), Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) and ISOFIX points.
It’s available in five colours – Candy White, Flash Red, Reflex Silver, Carbon Steel Grey and Deep Black.
