Overview
The Volkswagen Vento is the most compact sedan in Volkswagen Group Malaysia's line up. Formerly known as the Polo Sedan, it competes with likes of the Ford Fiesta Sedan, Mazda 2 Sedan, Honda City, Nissan Almera, and Proton Persona. Starting at RM87,646, the 2018-2019-2020 Vento is available in two variants - 1.6 MPI Trendline and 1.2 TSI Highline.
Two engine options are offered for this B-segment sedan. A naturally aspirated 1.6-litre MPI four-pot paired to a six-speed torque converter type automatic transmission powers the Comfortline variant. Power output is rated at 105 PS at 5,250rpm and 153Nm at 3,800rpm. Claimed fuel consumption is 6.5-litre per 100km.
The range-topping Highline, priced at RM94,461 gets a turbocharged 1.2-litre TSI four-cylinder that develops the same 105 PS, peaks lower at 5,000rpm, but significantly more torque of 175 Nm from as low as 1,550rpm to 4,100rpm. A seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission is employed to send the power to the ground. Fuel consumption for the Vento Highline is one litre less (5.5L) per 100km compared to the 1.6-litre unit.
Standard features in the 1.6 Comfortline includes 15-inch wheels, 5-inch infotainment system, cruise control, automatic air conditioning with a rear vent, fabric upholstery, leather covered steering wheel and shift lever, and four airbags.
The 1.2 TSI Vento Highline meanwhile is specified with 16-inch wheels, LED headlamps with DRL, and ESC with hill start assist.

2016 Volkswagen Vento - More for Less
As expected of a European car, the Vento has a relatively supple ride that doesn’t disappoint. The extra heft of it helps a little with keeping the tyres on the ground over harsher tarmac, but overall it is the careful tuning of damper and solid spring rate choices that result in this appreciable ride. The Vento, by and far, has been one of the best handling cars in its segment. It was the only car in class that could pull off an avoidance exercise without losing control, without turning the ESC on.
