The Volkswagen Vento BS6 was launched in March 2020 as a petrol-only offering. it’s offered with a replacement 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine (same because the higher variants of the Polo) that comes paired to either a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed converter (new). Volkswagen has axed the 1.2-litre TSI and 1.6-litre MPI petrol engines that were offered earlier and discontinued the 7-speed DSG gearbox also . We managed to run our fuel efficiency test with this 1.0-litre turbo-petrol-equipped Vento with the 6-speed AT and here are our findings:
| Engine | 1.0-litre Turbo-petrol |
| Power | 110PS |
| Torque | 175Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed AT |
| Claimed fuel efficiency | 16.35kmpl |
| Tested fuel efficiency (City) | 12.45kmpl |
| Tested fuel efficiency (Highway) | 16.52kmpl |
| Mileage | City:Highway (50:50) | City:Highway (25:75) | City:Highway (75:25) |
| 14.19kmpl | 15.27kmpl | 13.26kmpl |
As per our test, the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol equipped Vento with the 6-speed AT fell short by almost 4kmpl compared to the claimed figure, but it bettered that by alittle margin on the highway.
For those using the sedan majorly within the city, expect it to deliver a mileage of around 13kmpl. However, if you employ the Vento AT mainly on wide stretches of roads and highways, the fuel efficiency should go up by 2kmpl. just in case your travel is equally split between the town and highway, expect the VW sedan to deliver a mileage of around 14kmpl.
It is important to notice that fuel efficiency depends on a mixture of driving conditions, the car’s condition also as your driving style, so your experience may vary from ours.
