Latin NCAP recently announced its latest crash test results and the ‘Made in India’ Volkswagen Vento was one of the cars, which achieved five stars in Adult Occupant Protection. The Vento’s top-class standard safety package with dual front airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners, ABS, ISOFIX and robust vehicle body structure delivered the top results.
With its five stars ranking in Adult Occupant Protection and its three stars in Child Occupant Protection achieved from the recently conducted test by the independent consumer protection organisation Latin NCAP, the Volkswagen Vento is one of the safest cars in its segments – in Latin America as well as in India. In the frontal impact, the Latin NCAP commented that the driver and passenger heads were well protected by the airbags and the bodyshell showed stable performance with capability to withstanding further loading.
The Volkswagen Vento has been in the Indian market since 2010 and was specifically designed for India. Manufactured at the Volkswagen Pune Plant in Chakan, the Vento comes fitted with dual front airbags as standard even in India.
The Volkswagen Vento is exported from the Pune Plant in Chakan in left-hand drive as well as right-hand versions to over 35 countries across four continents – Asia, Africa, North America and South America. Biggest export market for the Volkswagen Vento is Mexico, where the ‘Made-in-India’ Vento is the highest sold Volkswagen at the moment. Recently, Volkswagen India also expanded its export operation to Latin America with the Indian-made ‘Vento’ set to be exported and sold in Argentina as the ‘Polo’.
