Polo Select and Vento Celeste introduced

Words by Abhishek Wairagade

Volkswagen India has launched special variants of Polo and Vento, dubbed Select and Celeste respectively.  The cars will be sold in limited numbers and will be available in all Volkswagen dealerships across the country.

Both the cars get cosmetic and minor feature upgrades. On the exterior front, the ORVMs get a faux carbon-fibre finish, the roof rail gets a black finish, there’s trunk garnish on the Polo and the Vento gets a lip spoiler garnish at the rear. The insides are tweaked as well. The dashboards on both the cars get a scratch-resistant faux carbon-fibre finish center console, along with a brand new Blaupunkt touch-screen system that also offers navigation, a much needed feature which was missing on both the cars that was being offered by Volkswagen’s rivals. The windows get detachable blinds and the new floor mats are made of textile material. The Polo also gets scuff plates on the all the door sills along with a Volkswagen embossed logo on the seats.

The added set of features will be available on the Highline variants only. Existing cars can be fitted with the new elements as well, at a nominal price. The Polo Select variant will be available in both diesel and petrol variants of the car, except the GT range, whereas the Vento Celeste will be available with all three engine options, 1.2-litre TSI petrol, 1.6-litre petrol  and 1.5-litre diesel.
