Ameo 1.5 TDI Highline AT மதிப்பீடு

The Volkswagen Ameo 1.5 TDI Highline AT comes with a 1.5-litre diesel engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It is the most expensive Ameo in the country and is priced at Rs 9.88 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi, as of May 5, 2017). It is around Rs 1.3 lakh more expensive than the Ameo 1.5 TDI Highline with a manual transmission. It is the fully loaded automatic compact sedan from Volkswagen.

The Ameo 1.5 TDI Highline AT is powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine which produces 110PS of power and 250Nm of torque. It has the most powerful diesel engine among compact sedans currently on sale in the country. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission shifts quickly and helps return a good fuel efficiency. It has a claimed fuel efficiency of 21.71 kmpl, which is slightly higher than the claimed 21.66 kmpl of the manual variant. The Ameo comes equipped with dual-airbags and anti-lock braking system (ABS) as standard. Moreover, the Highline AT also gets Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) and Hill Hold control.

It has class-leading features like power windows with one-touch operation (front and rear) and tilt and telescopic adjustable steering wheel, cruise control and rain-sensing wipers.

The Highline AT does stand apart from lower variants as it comes with alloy wheels, front fog lamps with static cornering lights and leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob.

It also comes with other convenience features like height adjustable driver seat, auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, rear defogger, reverse parking camera and sensors, electrically foldable ORVMs and a monochrome multi-function display (MFD) that shows travelling time, distance travelled, digital speed display, average speed and fuel efficiency.

However, the major highlight of the cabin is the touchscreen infotainment system with voice command, automatic climate control and rear AC vents which keep the rear passengers comfortable.
