Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Vento Konekt is a solid choice for those seeking a blend of comfort, technology, and performance in the sedan segment. This limited edition model stands out with its advanced infotainment system, featuring a touch-screen Blaupunkt setup with Bluetooth telephony, GPS navigation, and social network integration. The cars 1.5-liter diesel engine delivers a robust 103.5 Bhp and 250 Nm of torque, making it capable on both city roads and highways. The Vento Konekt also boasts a range of convenience features, including climate control, power windows, and rear defogger, which enhance the overall driving experience. However, its discontinuation might affect long-term support and resale value.

Price

The Volkswagen Vento Konekt, when it was available, was priced at around 9.80 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi. On-road prices would have varied depending on the state and local taxes, but you could expect to add another 1-2 lakh to the ex-showroom price. While this pricing was competitive in its segment, the cars discontinuation means that buyers will now have to look at other models or consider purchasing a used Vento Konekt. As an automotive reviewer, I would advise potential buyers to weigh the benefits of owning a discontinued model against the potential drawbacks in terms of service and parts availability.
