The art of improving something nearly perfect comes naturally to Volkswagen engineers.
We realised that just good headlights weren’t good enough. So we made them better. We
also put indicator lamps in them. The state-of-the-art tail lights were designed keeping
in mind everyone’s safety on the road, not just yours.

the Vento. Needless to mention, you’ll
simply love the way they light up the
road ahead during bad weather.
The body-coloured rear view mirrors
blend effortlessly with the muscular
body lines of the Vento. Areas most
prone to unsightly scratches feature a
black base for added protection.
The sleek body-coloured door handles
complement the Vento’s distinct profile.
Scientifically recessed, the handles are
designed to protect the paint from
unfortunate scratches.
The 15” alloy wheels are sturdy and
considerably lighter, thus enhancing
both, ride quality and road handling.
Come to think of it, the alloy wheels
make the Vento look spectacular as well.
