The Ameo is Volkswagen’s trump car after the highly competent products from the company such as the Polo and Vento did not gather much gains over the years since it came to India cumulatively. Ameo is a compact sedan, which falls under the sub four meter mark. Volkswagen has done everything in their power to make the car more appealing to the consumer here in India.
The car being delivered is a petrol turbo 1.2 3-cylinder petrol motor with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The other engine option is the 1.5 diesel with 90 PS and a 5-speed gearbox along with a 7-speed DSG gearbox. A 1.2 Tsi turbo petrol with automatic should come in later in time as well.

The lucrative segment offers manufacturers to price their product right and offer more the consumer, which means, sales of high numbers can be achieved.
Maruti, Honda, Hyundai, Ford, Tata and now Volkswagen coming into action all together. This time it is a serious battle, which goes head on. Ameo plans to take a pie of the market share from others and prove its might. Will that happen? Pricing for the diesel variant is the only thing remaining that is keeping Volkswagen from a lot of success.
