All prices quoted are on-the-road without insurance.

The rear of the car is framed by new tail lamps while smoked head lamps are installed on the front paired with a set of redesigned fog lamps. VW has also added a height adjuster into the headlamps allowing drivers to manual adjust the lamps.
Interior wise, the Vento is almost unrecognisable as a Volkswagen. While the centre console with the large multi-function display are still familiar elements, the first thing that greets drivers is a brand new multi-function leather steering wheel that is tilt and telescopic adjustable. The seats are wrapped in “Cable” fabric upholstery while the dashboard spots a new silver finish to give it a sleek look and feel.
