Volkswagen India has launched the limited edition of Polo and Vento in the country. Being based on the flagship Highline Plus trim, Volkswagen Polo limited edition and Volkswagen Vento limited edition are priced at Rs 7.89 Lakhs and Rs 10.99 Lakhs, (Both prices are Ex. Showroom, India) respectively. The limited edition duo is available only with a petrol engine and manual transmission. The Polo limited edition is nearly Rs 13,000 cheaper than the standard Highline Plus variant while the Vento limited edition costs around Rs 1 Lakh lesser than the regular Highline Plus variant.
Since both the limited editions are based on the range-topping Highline Plus trim level, they carry the same features and styling as the standard models. However, there are a handful of cosmetic updates in order to make them appear different from the regular models in the form of decals and stickers on doors, TSI emblem on the lower part of the passenger doors, black outside mirrors, contrast black roof and rear spoiler in glossy black finish. The introduction of these limited edition models is seen towards pushing the sales particularly in case of Vento as it is a whooping Rs 1 Lakh cheaper than the standard model while offering the same amount of luxurious features. The booking for both the models is underway at the company's official website.
