Volkswagen Ameo A Solid Compact Sedan Made For India

Volkswagen Ameo competes in the already crowded segment of compact sedans. The launch two years back had spoilt the choice of the buyers with Honda Amaze, Maruti Dzire, Hyundai Xcent, Tata Zest and Ford Figo Aspire already in the business. But that time it also came with one arm tied on its back i.e. it was available only in diesel engine option. That said, the well-built European design and impressive feature list is nothing short of fondness. The front can be mistaken for VW Polo but turn to the sides and the extended boot will clear your doubts. The boot perfectly blends into the body shell. The car has also been armed with features such as cruise control, reversing camera, auto wipers, cornering lamps, touchscreen infotainment, etc. The interiors of the car have been superbly crafted with exceptional fit and finish, hardly found in the cabin of its competitors. Another interesting strategy of the carmaker is the aggressive pricing approach which was never seen before. VW Ameo comes in the price range of Rs. 5.6 ? 10 lakh, which is very competitive, opposed to VW?s tradition of premium pricing. The solidity is further enhanced with the safety features the automaker has bestowed this car with. It comes with dual airbags and ABS as standard which is something every carbuyer is looking for even if he chooses the base model, he is under ample safety cover. However, the car falls short in the boot as well rear seating space. If you are ok with these two drawbacks, the car is certainly driver-oriented vehicle, solid built and a well-equipped compact sedan.
