"The Vento was specifically designed and built for Indian customers. However its success in a competitive market like India has opened up doors for exporting this car to various other markets. With the increase in exports of fully built cars, Volkswagen India can tackle the volatilities in the domestic automotive market and in the currency.

    One problem a sedan for roughly 10.5 lakhs on road

    Next problem a 4 seater for comfy ride and a maximum 5 seater without any attraction. What is this car all about?
    Brands have name But Brands should never use their BRAND POWER to build their marketing base any time
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
