The Volkswagen Vento- Final Verdict 

There is no doubt that Vento has improved. The car is good to drive, has a torque converter automatic gearbox, and is generally of good quality. But even with the good features and all the special characteristics, the Volkswagen Verna has a tough time trying to win the battle against its rivals like the City, Verna, and the Ciaz against whom it is strongly pitted. We highly recommend that for the popularity to rise and the customers embrace the product, Volkswagen is in desperate need of a generation change. 

There is nothing that is explicitly wrong with the product. When you look at it individually, it is a nice car that is packed with features that is enough to woo the customers. But the main problem with Volkswagen Vento is that in the face of competition from its rivals; like there’s nothing wrong with Volkswagen Vento as a product, but the competition like the Hyundai Verna and the Honda City, the car looks too simple and bland. There is nothing that sets it apart. 

To be more precise the car lacks the wow factor. Sedans in India have evolved. But to be honest, Volkswagen Vento is not altogether a failure; they have held up themselves with the best of german build, good drivability, and features that give it a good appeal. The car rests on its reputation as a good sedan that came to India a few years ago; but it is up to the customers to decide if that appeal is enough to keep the product on the market.
