Volkswagen Ameo Overview

Volkswagen Ameo is Volkswagen’s first attempt to enter into the compact sedan segment. The Volkswagen Ameo price in India starts at Rs. 5.24 lakh and goes upto Rs. 7.05 lakh for its top-end variant - Highline. The looks up front are quite similar to the other VW cars. Even when you step inside, the dashboard will remind you of Polo. In terms of comfort, the front seats are as usual perfect even for long drives.
Starting from cruise control to automatic rain-sensing wipers, Volkswagen Ameo 2016 brings with it some features that are introduced for the first time in this segment. Power windows with one touch operation, iPod connectivity, Voice Command and single-fold rear seat backrest are other eye-catching features of the new Volkswagen Ameo. ABS as well as dual-front airbags are a standard across all variants making the Volkwagen Ameo 2016 quite a sensation in its segment.

Volkswagen Ameo Exterior

Now, coming to the Volkswagen Ameo exteriors, the car gets body-coloured bumpers and ORVMs, and the top-end variant, Highline, gets alloy wheels. Highline also features a rear defogger and front fog lamps for better driving even in extreme conditions. All the variants get halogen headlamps in black finish as well as heat-insulating glass windshield, a welcome feature, especially looking at the rising temperatures these days. Volkswagen Ameo colours include a Candy, Flash Red that is the same as in the Volkswagen Polo, Copper Orange, Night Blue, Carbon Steel and Reflex Silver.

Volkswagen Ameo Interior

Volkswagen Ameo interiors as well are pretty impressive with Highline featuring a leather-wrapped steering wheel with chrome accents as well as piano black finish, leather-wrapped gear knob and brushed aluminium finish on the front centre console. The dashboard across all variants is made of high-quality scratch resistant material and the highlight of the cabin is definitely the comfort level that the seats offer even during long drives.

Volkswagen Ameo Engine & Transmission

Volkswagen Ameo specifications include a 1.2-litre MPI engine, which is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. This is available in all the three variants - Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. The diesel powertrain is the 1.5-litre TDI engine that is also mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Along with this, the third offering of new Volkswagen Ameo is a 1.5-litre TDI diesel engine mated to a 7-speed DSG transmission. This automatic transmission is featured only in the Comfortline and Highline variants. The engines are quite smooth and have the punch that you expect from a German carmaker. How these engines fare in the day-to-day life is something that we need to wait and watch out for.

Volkswagen Ameo Mileage

Volkswagen Ameo mileage is around 15 kmpl for petrol when being driven in the city and around 18 kmpl on the highway. The diesel variants should deliver a mileage of around 18 kmpl in the city and that of about 22 kmpl on the highway. The ARAI-claimed Volkswagen Ameo mileage is 17.83 kmpl for the petrol and 24.5 kmpl for the diesel engines.

Volkswagen Ameo Braking and Safety

Volkswagen Ameo 2016 features ABS as a standard across all variants along with dual front airbags. The Hill Hold Control and front fog lamps are featured in the Comfortline and Highline variants, whereas the rear fog lamps are available across all Volkswagen Ameo variants. The top-end variant, Highline, also features rear defogger, front fog lamps with static cornering lights and an auto-dimming interior rear view mirror. The front wheels have disc brakes to give the car that extra power so that one can handle the car well even in tough situations with ease.

Volkswagen Ameo Performance and Handling

The exact performance figures will come in picture once the car starts to spend some time in the actual driving conditions. Until then, we can expect it to offer a comfortable drive even in tough driving conditions. The ABS is definitely a benefit when it comes to handling of the car. The power steering with tilt and telescopic features further make things easier for the driver.

What do we think about Volkswagen Ameo?

The Ameo looks pretty decent but quite similar to other Volkswagen cars, though the sides are rather plain. The rear end of the car lacks some curves that would have given the car a better look. In terms of comfort and interiors, Ameo seems to be very promising. Even in terms of engine and handling, there seems to be a lot of positivity about the car. However, the car needs to perform in regular driving conditions to be able to make a mark for itself in this tough segment that is currently ruled by Maruti, followed by Honda and Hyundai.

Volkswagen Ameo Competitors

The closest Volkswagen Ameo competitors are Maruti DZire, Honda Amaze, Tata Zest, Hyundai Xcent and Ford Figo Aspire. The competition is tough and Volkswagen has a disadvantage in terms of its service cost, but if it can make up for this shortcoming with its performance, who knows we might be seeing a shuffle in terms of numbers pretty soon.
