- Hey Guys, in this video we review the 2012 Volkswagen Vento 1.6L MPI Highline Automatic!
With the 2020 VW Vento launched recently, I thought it would be a good time to review the origin of the Vento.
Unlike the new Vento, which is powered by a 3 cylinder 1.0L TSI motor, this car gets a proper 1,6L petrol engine producing 103 bhp (105 PS) and 153 Nm of torque mated to a 6 speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
The Vento has been on-sale in India for 10 years now and unlike it's competitors like the Honda City and the Hyundai Verna, which have received multiple updates over different generations, the VW Vento has remained unchanged in terms of design for 10 years!!
In this video review, we take a detailed look at this car from 2012, to check how the car has aged and compare it to the competition, both in the used car market and the new 2020 versions also.

I completely agree. Get a used 1.6TDI instead and do it up. Yes, it won’t have nearly as many features as the new ones, but the torque shove from that engine is something else. I’ve installed the DieselTronic piggyback ECU on mine and it really does feel like a cut price BMW.
I love VW vento, the build quality and torque rush, especially the diesel one...
Volkswagen Vento is luxury car
Watched most of ur videos today...great reviews man...all the best fr future videos...✌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the support and positive comments bro :-)
I hav 2011 vento 1.6L petrol automatic.. Gear shift jerking problem.. Scanner shows incorrect ratio error p0731 p0732 mechanical failure.. Vw service quoted 6LKS... Anyone faced same pbm pls give ur suggestions...thanks..
I stumbled on your video at the end of 2021, when Skoda plan to bring their Rapid replacement. Vento will follow soon, at petrol prices howering at 115 in my city,buying a sedan is a big worry!!
I liked your video, stating buying a used Vento still makes sense!! Ultimately, you don't go beyond second gear, in any Indian city( no use of 100km/hr dash)!! Now 'kitna deti hai' is important!!+ Keeping the build quality,WHY, VW IS STILL IMPORTING 1.5TSI is a big worry!! If they are assembling 1.0TSI, WHY TO IMPORT 1.5?
By importing, car prices are going beyond 20 lakhs now!!
And am not blaming VW, Most powerful Nissan 1.3 Turbo is imported, Now already left Ford, sourced their petrol turbo from Europe, Hyundai am 100% sure, would be sourcing their turbo from seol!! That's why, Maruti, Toyota, still are not bringing their much popular 1.4 turbo Swift here!! Pathetic situation!!
Hey buddy. Its probably cheaper manufacturing these turbo engines abroad. Or there maybe more precision involved. In any case, for those who want performance, you have to pay for it. Its good they give both the 1.0 and 1.5 options.
Yes, a used Vento is still a good option...
@@JRSCarsWorld's First, second car manufacturers shy away from manufacturing state of the art engines in India?( Kindly read as Toyota,VW) What 'precision' you are talking about? VW manufacturers, or 'assembles' 1.0TSI?In 1987-88 Brazil, robbed away 'first mercedes truck manufacturing plant, outside Stuttgart', which was supposed to come to Bhosari, Pune.( Thanks to Sharad Pawar), even in 2021, Brazil manufacturers what we can't ( Kindly read as flexi fuel cars', which Nitin Gadkari talked about) If made in india VW, Hyundai, Maruti cars can be exported, why we can't make a 1.5TSI? WHY VW Invested so much money in India? To import what people want? Yeh 1.0TSI Gareebon ka engine hai!!
1.0TSI Vento Automatic, in my city, competes with Turbo Automatic Nissan Kicks!!
Buying used is tough!!! All 'platforms' are 'shady' or behave like any dealer!!( Cannot be trusted)!! If I directly ask/request the owner, he is snobbish!!
In this scenario, I like Socialist( communist)!!
They would have offered a quality car ( brand new) within 10 lakhs!!
That's why I said, situation is pathetic, not right to buy any car!! Be it petrol, diesel!! Govt. Should bring down the taxes!! We blame the manufacturer, they in turn blame the Govt.!!! Ultimately, car which costed little over 10 lakhs, five years back,now costs 20 lakhs!! I can't even think of buying a 1.5TSI!! VERY VERY EXPENSIVE!! WE ARE HEADING TOWARDS CAPITALIST!!!
@@joshihemant2568 boss, I agree to what you are saying.
But look at it this way
A Skoda Laura costed 15L in 2010
A BMW 320d costed 30L in 2010
Now, a New Octavia is 30L in 2021
A new 320d is 55L
The features and performance of the new Octavia, is much much better than the 320d of 2010.
Blame taxes whatever, the money you are paying is getting you a better product, than the same money did, 10 years ago.
Hows the gearbox? I've heard that vento's automatic gearbox fail. And to fix it takes lot of money.
Hi, gearbox is strong and has no issues. This is a 6 speed torque converter.
The 7 speed DSG DQ200 on the old Polo GT TSI was only a bit temperamental and could fail if not taken care of properly.
The DQ250 on the Skoda Laura also used to be prone to failure, if not maintained/driven properly
Can You Tell Me How Much Gears In This Automatic gearbox ____? 1.6 MPi
6 speed if i remember correctly
@@JRSCarsThanks Sir For Reply🙌
Hey man, i have a 2012 vento 1.6l petrol manual on offer for 2.5 lakhs. It has runned 52k kms.
Would you advise to buy?
Get it checked properly buddy. If you can afford the maintenance (20% higher than City, Verna, etc) then yes, you can go for it, if the car is mechanically sorted and checked by a mechanic
did you buy it?
@@Rumiesque no
VV Parts last much more than city and verna
Very useful review. I was planning to buy a new Vento, now I am not so sure . It's not worth the money
Yes. It's a decade old design! Used Vento is better at less than half the price...
Bhai please tell about milega of 2010-2012 petrol varient vento in city or in highway
6-8 in city 10-12 in highway
Hey guys i have a offer of Volkswagen vento petrol automatic high line 2013 it has run 13000 kms maintained by a rich folk with a proper service record as well the budget there are quoting is 550000 and its almost a 11 year old car , In tamilnadu verna 2012 as well as honda city 2012 is also a bit costly not sure how to choose , also heard that Volkswagen has a lot of maintenance cost any idea how much a person spends a year newbie with buying car dream kindly pour ur suggestions😊
Hey man, car looks really well looked after and cared for
However 5.5 is too much
Market price is around 2-3.5 depending on condition, service records and ownership etc
Maybe 4-4.5 would be okay for it - as the car does seem to be excellently maintained
However, maintaining a VAG is expensive
Pls have a look at my Skoda video for prices on spares
Bro what ampere battery is used in Vw Vento 1.6. mpi 2011 ? ( 44ah or 60 ah ) . Pls reply.
Don't know buddy. Must be 44 tho, 60 is used in diesels
I don't own the car, so never paid attention to it
Amazing review man. I have VW Vento Highline
Thanks for the support :-)
Superb review brother.. very informative 👌
Thanks buddy
WORTH WATCHING
I owned skoda rapid tdi 1.6 ,vento and rapid is beast 💯❤🔥
Cool👍👍
This automatic petrol 2011 mileage?
Odometer: 50K km
Mileage: City 10-11 kmpl
Highway: 14-15 kmpl
I have the same car from 2011, going to achieve 3L km❤
Wow
Do you have abs, ecs, ebd?
is it a risk to buy 2011 petrol amt vento? cause i hear they get dsg failure
Vento never came with AMT.
It came with torque converter automatic.
No risk, both the torque converter and DSG models of Vento/Polo are very reliable if maintained and driven properly...
Is the steering feedback a bit stiff compared to other brands like Suzuki or Ford?
Feedback is good, no stiffness as such but not light as Suzuki.
It is similar to Ford
@@JRSCarsyou're totally wrong it's not similar to ford . Whereas it's similar to rapid.
@@kartiksolanki3452 rapid and vento are ditto cousins
The steering feel is what was asked - saying rapid is like vento, is like saying Kia sonet is like Hyundai venue - obviously both are same
The steering feel is good, like a ford
That’s the point
1.6mpi Manual vs AT milege ?
Is this car uses DSG gear box? From when vento started using DSG gear box?
This is torque converter only. DSG came only with 1.2 TSI engine
Can i buy 2010 vento automatic cng ?? How much will cost to upgrade the old vento to new parts ??
Vento CNG? Why would you want to run on CNG, I don't think the engine will run properly on CNG without major modifications.
Cosmetics upgrade from old to new will he approx 3L, including bumpers, LED headlights, taillights and maybe a few interior upgrades.
@@JRSCars cng fitted used car is available near me .
@@sntkmr9 then take a test drive and see, check properly before buying... However I cannot guarantee performance or reliability in the long run from running on CNG
Vento 1.6 MPI or City 4th Gen 1.5 ivetec?
City is better in long run. The 1.6 vento is pretty old now.
Hi Bro ,
I have a 2014 vento 1.6L petrol comfortline on offer for 3.8L with 80Km ran. Should I go for it.. is it worth if it's maintained properly?? Or any other options can I go?? @JRS Cars
Hi bro, check proper service records. Price is a bit high
Look at City, rapid, verna etc
@@JRSCars Thanks Bro 👍
@@JRSCars I have seen some city & Verna 2013 to 2015 model but it easily cost more than 4.8 to 5lakh in local dealer as well as in Cars24& olx for Chennai location . I'm confused can you suggest please. Sry to bother..🤗
@@Sabari81990 yes. Now used car prices are high. Keep looking, upto 60k km is no problem for any car, but beyond 75k, issues will be more with German cars
@@JRSCars Thanks for your time Brother..
Upload a video for VW maintenance cost like what you have done for icon & city.
Hi, would love to, the car is owned by my Uncle, so it might take a while to sit and get all details regarding it. However, apart from general maintenance and service, it's not very expensive. Only the front discs and wheel speed sensors have been replaced.
@@JRSCars Thanks for your response. But, everyone committing if talk about VW, it's costly the spare parts & even periodic maintenance also.
Yes. General service will be 20-25% more expensive, when compared to Honda/Hyundai. But the car is a solid and very robust.
As I've said in another video, safety critical stuff do at the dealership, but if it's an older car, take it to an independent garage for minor fixes, engine oil change, etc. Just ensure the mechanic knows what he's doing...
@@JRSCarsPerfect; As you said in the city review Mr. Purushotham will fit for the garage works 👍.
The doors of the vento are so bloody heavy
True
Could you please make a video of skoda superb (2010-2014)
Am working on sourcing a car. Thank you for the support
Could you please help to understand the difference between Vento AMT Highline Vs Comfort line - in 2011 modals ?
Look at the state of the steering wheel on a car that has done only 50,000 km?
The car was bought pre-owned... probably the first owner used to wear many rings, causing the steering to get scratched.
Diesel or petrol...which one to prefer for engine life and durability
All modern engines can last upto 2.5L to 3L km comfortably if maintained properly.
If you are looking at above 3L km, the diesel block will be stronger, but ancillary items like injectors and turbocharger will fail (due to our fuel conditions) and thus maintenance will be more expensive for diesels in the long run.

Ameo is an extended polo not vento
Corrected myself in Ameo review
