USER OPINION

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Volkswagen Ameo Highline is a compelling option in the sub-4 meter sedan segment in India, particularly for those who prioritize performance, build quality, and driving dynamics. The car boasts a powerful 1.5-litre diesel engine that accelerates swiftly and provides excellent torque, making it a joy to drive on both city roads and highways. The suspension tuning is commendable, offering a planted and confident driving experience with minimal body roll. However, the Ameo falls short in terms of rear seat space and boot volume compared to its competitors. Despite this, the solid build quality, driver-centric design, and feature-rich interior, including a responsive multimedia system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, make it a strong contender. The only caveat is the general perception of Volkswagens after-sales service, which might be a concern for some buyers.
Price
The Volkswagen Ameo Highline, particularly the diesel variant with the DSG transmission, is priced competitively in the Indian market. As of the latest data, the ex-showroom price for the Ameo Highline DSG diesel can range from approximately 9.5 lakh to 10.5 lakh, depending on the region and any additional features or accessories. On-road prices, including taxes, registration, and insurance, can range from 11.5 lakh to 13 lakh. This pricing positions the Ameo Highline as a value-for-money option, considering its performance, build quality, and features. However, prices can vary based on location and any local incentives or discounts.
Latest Updates
Sunday, 08 September 2019 04:33 PM Volkswagen introduced the GT Line trim for the Ameo, although initially only available with the diesel-AT variant. However, the Highline Plus remains a popular choice due to its comprehensive feature list and robust engine options. I think the GT Line and Highline Plus cater to different customer preferences effectively.
Saturday, 20 April 2019 01:17 AM The Volkswagen Ameo Highline has been well-received in the market, contributing to the sale of over 50,000 units of the Ameo since its launch in 2016. This achievement is significant given the growing competition in the subcompact sedan segment. I believe the Highline variants features and performance have played a crucial role in this success.
Friday, 12 April 2019 01:17 PM The Ameo Highline Plus diesel variant is priced at an on-road price of around Rs. 10.70 lakh in Delhi. It includes safety features like ABS, dual front airbags, and electronic stability programme (ESP). Other notable features include speed sensing auto door locks, reverse parking camera and sensors, and automatic rain sensing wipers. I believe the safety features and advanced technology make this variant a good value for money.
Saturday, 14 April 2018 08:55 PM The Ameo Highline features a segment-first dual-clutch automatic transmission with the diesel engine, which sets it apart from competitors like the Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire and Tata Zest that use AMT gearboxes. This transmission enhances the driving experience, especially in urban conditions. I believe this technology gives the Ameo an edge in terms of drivability.
Mileage
Wednesday, 20 November 2024 12:26 PM The Volkswagen Ameo Highline diesel variant offers impressive fuel efficiency, making it a practical choice for daily driving. Users have reported mileage of around 16-17 kmpl on highways and 12-13 kmpl in city conditions. With the DSG transmission, some owners have even reported up to 18 kmpl in city traffic without the AC. This fuel economy is commendable, especially given the cars powerful engine, making it a good option for those concerned about running costs.
