Volkswagen India has introduced a limited edition of the Vento called the Vento Konekt in a bid to boost sales and maybe even clear stocks of the existing model in case a Polo-esque facelift is being readied for launch. The limited addition is available with a high end Blaupunkt Infotainment system with a touch screen mounted in the centre console and and 8-inch android tablet for the rear passengers. Mechanically there are no changes.
PRICE
The Konekt package is available on the Comfortline and Highline trims for no additional cost.
