About

The Volkswagen Ameo is a significant entry by Volkswagen into the compact sedan segment in India. Developed specifically for the Indian market, it inherits many of the hallmarks of the Polo, including attention to detail in the cabin, a robust feature list, and high-quality build. The Ameo is available in both petrol and diesel engine options, with the diesel variant featuring a 1.5-litre TDI engine that produces 110 PS and 250 Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission. The car is well-equipped with features such as automatic climate control, rear AC vents, cruise control, and rain-sensing wipers. Safety is also a strong point, with dual-front airbags and ABS as standard, along with ESP and Hill-Hold Control in the diesel automatic variant. The Ameos suspension tuning and handling make it a pleasure to drive, although the rear seat space is somewhat limited. Overall, its a solid choice for those looking for a reliable, feature-rich, and performance-oriented compact sedan.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Ameo Anniversary Edition is a compelling choice in the compact sedan segment, particularly for those seeking a blend of performance, comfort, and safety. The car stands out with its solid build quality, akin to its siblings, the Polo and Vento. The 1.5-litre TDI engine, paired with a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission, offers a potent and frugal driving experience. The Ameos handling and ride quality are commendable, making it a joy to drive both in city traffic and on the highway. However, the rear seat space could be more generous, and the after-sales service network, though improving, still lags behind competitors like Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai. Overall, its a well-rounded package that delivers on multiple fronts.

Price

The Volkswagen Ameo Anniversary Edition is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom prices start from around Rs. 5.67 lakh for the base petrol variant and go up to Rs. 10.00 lakh for the top-of-the-line diesel automatic variant. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can range from approximately Rs. 6.5 lakh to Rs. 11.5 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing positions the Ameo as a viable option against its competitors like the Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire, Hyundai Xcent, and Honda Amaze, offering a balance of features, performance, and value for money.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 15 October 2017 04:03 PM The launch of the Ameo Anniversary Edition marked a significant milestone for Volkswagen India, celebrating a decade of operations in the country. This special edition was a testament to the companys commitment to offering value-added products to its customers.

Tuesday, 10 October 2017 01:37 PM The Ameo Anniversary Edition competed directly with other compact sedans like the Maruti Dzire, Hyundai Xcent, and Honda Amaze. However, its unique features and special edition graphics helped it stand out in a crowded market. I think Volkswagen successfully differentiated the Ameo with these additions.

Sunday, 01 October 2017 06:49 AM Volkswagens decision to launch the Ameo Anniversary Edition was seen as a strategic move to boost sales during the festive season in India. The special editions pricing and additional features made it a compelling choice for those looking for a compact sedan with extra flair.

Monday, 25 September 2017 01:45 PM The Ameo Anniversary Edition maintained the same mechanical specifications as the standard Ameo, with no changes to the engine or transmission options. This ensured that the reliability and performance of the vehicle remained consistent while the cosmetic upgrades provided a fresh look. I believe this strategy helped in retaining the trust of existing customers.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 01:37 AM The Volkswagen Ameo offers impressive fuel efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for daily driving. The petrol variants deliver an ARAI-certified mileage of up to 19.44 kml, while the diesel variants, especially the 1.5-litre TDI with the DSG transmission, achieve a mileage of around 21.73 kml. In real-world conditions, you can expect the diesel automatic to return around 18-20 kml in city traffic and up to 22 kml on the highway, which is quite frugal and helps in keeping running costs low.
