Volkswagen Vento With LED Headlamps Spied in India!

Updated Volkswagen Vento Could be Launched with LED Headlamps

The VW Polo-based Vento sedan got a minor nip and tuck just last year and it seems VW will roll out another update soon! Yes, these image that you see here is, in all probability, of the 2016 Volkswagen Vento facelift, which will feautre LED headlamps with LED DRLs. Also, we’re expecting a handful of minor cosmetic changes, along with some additional equipment inside the cabin. The Vento sedan has been facing quite some heat of late, what with the advent of the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and the ever-improving sales performance of the formidable Honda City. Hence, VW could attempt to infuse some freshness to the fast-aging sedan with the addition of new features, all in a bid to rekindle the car’s performance on the sales charts. Here’s more info on 2016 edition and the current Volkswagen Vento 2015 model.
